    My first night hunt 2009. (Even longer than Bill's post with some decent finds, but not nearly as impressive as the Master.)

    Let me begin by saying I was not planning any more hunts this weekend. Then I started reading some of Cintisteve's posts on the Whites boards where he is on a nice gold streak. Then old Graw had to post his great rings and watch. Then that 18k ring got posted and I started wondering where my...

    Look what I found!

    If you read one of my posts from last weekend you might recall how angry I was with myself over losing a German coin. Well after a very short hunt this morning to sweat that devil alcohol from last night out of my body I set out to do some tumbling. I was surprised to find a bunch of quarters...

    Not all that many hunts getting posted lately.

    I went out around 6 pm to a site where I had found silver. Got skunked except for 4 Wheats, a George VI Canadian Cent which was stuck to one of the Wheats, a big key, and some clad. Now my goal was one silver coin and my reward was going to be beer and whiskey at the American Legion if I got...

    I'm calling my transition to part time silver coin hunter a success. (Another long post.)

    The Introduction. It was hot all night and naturally still hot this morning. 91 out now and humid. I had a few errands to do and figured I could add a 1 hour hunt to my list of chores. I decided to try a site I have hit hard with my Bounty Hunter, Ace 250, and GTI 2500 with stock coil. This...

    Thursday's Digs

    I'm in a big rut with my site selection. I am dividing almost all of my time between my new favorite clad site and my new favorite old coin site. Another new slant is I am no longer rising early to hunt and I have been heading out late afternoon until dusk most days. Problem is dusk is coming...

    Three mediocre mini-hunts. Boring.

    Old abandoned school. Everything was deep and the ground was all clay with the consistency of peanut butter and the smell of....well I'd rather not say. The pic is my three half dollar signals. First was the aluminum Olympic medal. I first spotted the all silver reeded edge and got pretty...

    Long Day for me. Long post for you. Enter at your own risk.

    I had awful insomnia last night. Never did get to sleep. Went out real early this morning and hit a new site just as the sun was coming up. Nothing all that great except for three wheats. One thing of note. The clad was mostly deeper than 4 inches. There was very little from the surface...

    Out looking for silver again (part two.)

    I was prowling around the board on another detector brand's forum and noticed a few of out old regulars using other machines. One wrote that he rarely found silver with his Garrett and now he finds quite a bit more. I read a few weeks worth of posts on several boards and got a few tips. I had...

    Can anybody identify this symbol?

    Looks like a link from a chain. Maybe. A bit smaller than a US dime. I might not have it oriented right. Chris

    Out looking for silver coins again.

    The great thing about today's site is that there is a great spot with lots of old coins and nearby is a large sports field with plenty of jewelry and clad opportunities. Started out for an hour with the 12.5 inch coil in the old coin spot and collected 7 wheats. I also got the smaller half of...

    How many of these have I ever posted?

    Answer: None. My new found silver coin style seems to be working out. Silver coin for past 5 of 6 hunts. It is all a matter of site selection. Anyhow, it is my first ever Barber Quarter, my first ever Barber coin with my 2500, my oldest silver coin with my 2500, and maybe a few other...

    Treasure Hunting Story in Pictures. (Mostly)

    To begin I'll be needing a buck to cross the bridge. [attachment 133894 072509-2.JPG] (You didn't think I would really spend a Sac find did you?) Now where is that bridge? Gonna need a compass. [attachment 133895 072509-3.JPG] Shoot, wrong compass. Better give somebody a ring...

    Having any luck?

    That's what the guy who was watching me for half an hour asked as he approached me. I said not really. (A bit of a fib.) We chatted for 15 minutes and he was fellow detector checking out the guy who was invading his territory. As we chatted I continued to detect and he asked me why when he...

    Serendipity?

    I titled this post because we were just discussing insect bites. I was fatigued this morning and couldn't manage to get out. I did make it out at 5pm and hunted until I was stung by an insect, probably a bee but I didn't see anything but its shadow. Got me right near my right eye which became...

    one of yours over here

    Your site is very nice and those finds are great! That quarter really sticks out. Did you get to keep the gold and saphire ring? Chris

    one of yours over here

    The ships are from the UK. That's probably why you are so fond of them. How did it get so deep so quickly is my question? Neat find far from it's home in Denver? Chris

    Overdid it a bit. (Long post.)

    I went out with these goals. 192 coins (to hit 8,000 in 2009.) 52 quarters (to fill my quarter bottle to 3/4 full.) 13 nickels (to fill my nickel bottle.) I had four spots in mind which was a road trip I had made 3 times this spring. Never made it to four. Site one is a very old school...

    Swing and a miss, strike one........

    Doing laundry I walked to a nearby public beach for 25 minutes of swinging. Here is my take less about 10 pop tops. One of my favorite things about hunting here is that there is a guy who lives next door and it is the only site he hunts. He thinks it's his private property and has tried to...

    Big Milestone if You're Interested.

    Two things to begin. First. I track a lot of statistics. I'm sure a lot of you ask yourselves why. I sometimes ask myself why more people don't. Second. I started off the weekend needing 345 coins to hit my milestone. There is nothing harder than hunting to a goal like that. I had two...

    Comparing my hunts to the pros.

    Can I pop pennies like John? Sometimes. Can I find as many dollar coins as Uncle Willy? Maybe someday. Theres a Sac in the pic somewhere. This pic represents yesterday evening and today. I had a hunt yesterday morning that I didn't photograph. The brass pocket watch and check valve are...
