    Barber Quarter, Mercs and Injuns

    Two short hunts at some old ball fields yielded the 1912 S Barber Quarter on 1 day (1 hour hunt) and this morning the 1935 and 1939 Mercs and 1893 and 1907 Indian Heads. Shout out to Mark who I hunted with on Thursday, we didn't find any silver but had a good time in Western Mass. Now up to 163...

    Shallow Walker and Other Goodies

    Tried another old park in the city near wear I live (Worcester, MA). Was getting a lot of shallow signals so wasn't digging them until I said what the heck and at 2 inches found the 1924 Merc which was quite black especially on the back. So I then decided to dig all of the shallow signals and...

    10 Cents Short of a Dollar

    Second trip to the new ball field site and I pulled out 9 silver dimes, one of my best days ever. 1892 and 1916 Barbers, 1917-S (damaged), 1919, 1920, 1926, 1941 and 1941-S Mercs and a 1947 Rosie. Feeling very good about this site as I have only scratched the surface. No silver quarters but...

    New Site Starts Off Well

    Have pretty well hunted out the sites that have been producing for me this year so today I tried a new site. It is an old set of baseball and football fields from the early 1900s. Searched a small area and got 1909 and 1911-D Barbers, 1925 Merc and a 1947 Canadian. Not bad for 3 hours. Plenty of...

    Finally Seated!

    Back to the park that has produced so many for me this year and found my first seated! A heavily, heavily worn 1877 dime. Back is almost completely worn down, front only shows lower part and date with some of the letters. Not a great one but I'll take it. Also a 44 merc. Planning to head out...

    I Love Hunting After Heavy Rains

    Have taken a break of late since breaking through 100 a few weeks ago, finding a few mercs and rosie at some new places but nothing major of note. This past week we got heavy rains in our area. I have always found that a wet ground produces the best so this weekend I hit two of the old ball...

    Coils

    Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on which coil in general will provide the best detection depth for silver. I am using the standard double d coil but am intrigued by the larger butterfly coils as well as the 13" double d coil. I have a site that has very little trash and lots of deep...

    Blasting Past 100

    Well I went into the day at 97 silver coins for the year and was hopeful that I would break 100. It turned out to be my best day of the year with 9 total silver: 4 Rosies (1946, 1947 1951, 1952), 4 Mercs (1923, 1943(#100), 1945 and 1945-D) and my first ever Barber Quarter, 1903-O. Incredible...

    5 More to 100

    Went out twice this weekend and got a total of 8 silver coins to get to 95 for the year. So close to 100 I can smell it! Hope to have it by next Sunday. Finds include 1 heavily worn 1904 Barber dime, 1952 Rosie, 1941, 1944 and 1945 Mercs and 1936 D (heavily worn and I hit it with the lesche)...

    Short Hunt Yields a Walker

    Got home from work a few hours early so went to a local school I've hit many times before. In about 1.5 hours found a 1920 Merc, a silver religious pendant and a 1946 Walking Liberty Half. 4th half of the year (2 Barber and another Walker). Was laying perfectly flat, reverse up, about 8 inches...

    Dime Trifecta

    Back out to the new field today and got a dime trifecta; 1903 Barber, 1940 Merc and 1953 Rosie. The Barber was 1 inch deep. 81 for the year. Going to try some new ball fields next weekend. Happy Fathers Day to all!

    New Field Gives up 8

    Today's ball field hunt yielded my best silver day ever, 2 Washington Quarters (1936 and 1940), 1945 War Nickel, 3 Mercs (1920, 1920 and 1935) and 2 Rosies (1946 and 1952). And about $8 in clad with 25 wheaties. Lots of digging over 6 hours. This place is very strange in terms of depths of the...

    Update on the Quest for 100 Silver

    Haven't posted since finding the Barber half a few weeks ago as I have only found some silver dimes at several different locations. I am up to 65 for the year and today found a new park that has tons of space to hunt and in about an hour I found the 1917-S Merc and a 1946 Rosie as well as quite...

    Barber Bonanza!

    Tried a new place today. It is currently a baseball field and has been in use since the late 1800s as a ball field. It was used back then by teams from the nearby mills. In about 5 hours of hunting I pulled out a 1910 Barber Half (beautiful shape), 1901-O, 1903 and 1912 Barber dimes and 1920...

    Almost Got Shut Out Today

    But managed a 1941 Washington Quarter in the last hour of a 5 hour hunt at the school from yesterday. Lots of clad as yesterday but only one silver vs. 6 yesterday. Time for a new site. 46 Silver for the year.

    2nd Visit to School Yields 6 Silver

    Went back to the school today that I posted about last time. Current building is from the 1970s but is on the same site as a much older school from the late 1800s. Found 2 Washington Quarters (1962-D and 1952), 1927 Standing Liberty Quarter, 1911 Barber Dime, and 2 Mercury Dimes (1935 and 1940)...

    New Site Gives Up Some Decent Finds

    Tried my hand on Sunday at a school area. The current building was built in 1975 but according to some research I did it is on the same site as a school that was originally there built in the late 1800s. So I figured I would give it a shot and hope that the grounds around the school were...

    Weekend Hunts Bring Interesting Silver

    So I ended up going back to the ball fields one more time yesterday. Pulled out a 1953-D Rosie, 1925 Merc and a 1944-S Merc. Also a sterling ring with a junk stone setting. Today I went to an old school (approximately 1920) that I have hunted before with the std coil, figuring I would give it a...

    Final Hunt at Ball Fields: 6x9 sef Gets a Few Goodies

    5 hours on the ball fields today with the 6x9 sef coil and a very slow swinging style covering the football field. 1920 Merc, 1902 Barber and an 1837 Large Cent. Also an Indian Head and 10 early Wheats. I've decided my next hunt will be somewhere else. May revisit the ball fields later in the...
