    Went out after lunch to an old 40s school. Got 9 wheats, a junk charm, a Mexican 20 Centavos coin, a 1920 Merc, a neat .925 ring, and ~1.50 in clad.

    Broke the Silver Drought in a Big Way!

    Have not posted in a while because frankly I have not been finding many keepers... Got out today to a place that I had hit before. Must not of done a very good job because I came home with two Mercs, two sterling rings, and a sterling buckle! Nothing was very deep. All were about 4-5 in except...

    Finds from one Yard... Yes, some silver!!

    Got out to the old hood again today. Found a vacant lot that used to have a house. Found 20 wheaties and only one silver, a 54 Washington. There were also assorted toys like the 40s firetruck and the marble. Nothing like kids to scatter change! LOL! Clad is pictured also...

    Recent Finds, Yes Silver!

    Last couple of hunts have been a little sparse. Got two silvers, a 46 Rosie and a sterling ring. The ring has 8 stones that appear to be CZs. Also pulled 9 wheaties and several dollars in clad...

    Went Back to Yard that Produced 3 Silvers...

    Found an unusual assortment including; 5 40-50s Wheats, a 54D Rosie, an Israeli aluminum coin, and a non-silver religious token. The area is a very old predominantly African-american neighborhood so I am wondering how a 60s Israeli coin got lost there? You just never know when you put the coil...

    3 Silver, 5 Wheats, and ?

    Managed to get out today to the old neighborhood today... Got a 43 Washington, 48 Rosie, and a 43 Merc, as well as 5 40s wheaties, a dollar or so in clad, and finally a brass or copper cylinder that I initially thought was an old lipstick container. However, the base does not twist or come...

    Todays Hunt (some silver)

    Got out today to detect a house I had gotten permission to detect. Found seven 40-50s wheats, two military buttons, a 44 merc, a marble, and some clad. While I was detecting an older gentleman stopped by and asked me to look at a coin he had. It was a holdered gambling token for $10 made partly...

    Short Hunt Produces Silver and One Off my Bucket List!!

    Got out to an old neighborhood this evening to detect for about 2 hours. Found a 37 D Washington and a silver thimble. Always wondered why I had never found a silver thimble since they are a fairly common find on the boards. The thimble is unmarked but passed the nitric acid test for silver...

    Short Easter Hunt Nets Silver but no Eggs!

    Ventured into the old hood with another detectorist. Seemed like everyone was out celebrating and not home. We found a couple of empty lots and foreclosures to hunt. Lots of trash but did manage a silver Washington at 6in. The quarter gave me a solid 12.46. Also found a 40s wheat and some clad...

    Silver Rosie Saves the Day!!

    Been on a bit of a silver slump lately. Got out today to several sites where I was finding wheaties (14, one not pictured) with reckless abandon but no silver. I also found a vintage condom container and a Mexican 1938 10 Centavos copper coin. Finally, I dug a 61 D Rosie which I scratched and is...

    CTX 6in Coil nets 100+ year old Silver!!!

    Went door knocking in the "hood" with another detectorist... Actually he did the knocking. LOL! Found the silver Washington at an abandoned house that is awaiting demolition. The soil around this place was like cement! Fortunately for us the old coins were very shallow. After digging a few...

    Got Out with a Buddy and Did Some Knocking!!

    Got out today to some old houses with an MD buddy on another forum... We both found silver although I barely did right before I had to leave! The yard we got permission for looked old and had an empty adjacent lot. Found a few wheats, then finally got a screamer in the quarter range at 5in...

    Silver by the Bay!!

    Hunted an old school near a beach that I have hunted before. Silvers dont look beautiful out of here but silver never-the-less. Found a 60 Rosie and 2 mercs (43 & 44). Also found a 1945 Mexican 20 centavos coin and three wheats...

    Finished Out the Old Park

    These are from the same park I was working yesterday. Today I finished gridding it out. I rescued 13 wheats, a 41D Merc, and a 54D Washington. All coins were from 5-9 in. in depth. The Merc was right next to a large rusty nail but the detector easily made the separation. To sum up this small...

    Fewer Finds but Better Quality...

    Went out again today to an old school I had hit before. Thought I had cleaned it out but went really slowly and methodically and pulled two more silver coins and a piece of sterling jewelry!! Also found two wheaties from the forties and fifties. The merc was down at about 8-9 in with a really...

    Half Day Hunt - Marginal Results...

    Got out today to some spots I had hit before. Could not manage a silver coin but did score a quarter of an ounce sterling religious medal. Also got 4 wheats and a large old military coat button. I found a little ornament of some type which I initially though might be silver but it failed the...

    Todays Hunt (some silver)

    Got out to a new town nearby. Found an old high school which had been converted to an admin building. Got 13 wheaties, two silver dimes, and two FFA pins. Unfortunately, the pins are junk metal. The mercs are 1941P and 1917S. I have never found a merc older than 1920 before. Building was built...

    Hit it Big at the Old School Today with BIG Silver!

    Went back to an old school that I had hit before. Somehow I missed a 4X8 ft area that was loaded with silver! Ended up with 4 total including a '59D Franklin half, '58D Washington, and two mercs ('26 and ?D). The silvers are typically not beautiful here. I also picked up a religious pendant, 10...

    Getting Tougher to find Silver!! (But found a little...)

    Went out for about 8 hours to a variety of sites last weekend. All I could find was one merc and six wheats. Think I need to get more creative with my choice of sites! LOL!

    Went Back to Old Church...

    Had a successful "re-hit" of a place where I found an IH last week. This time I found 2 silvers (an S war nickle and a 42 Merc). I also found a Buffalo Nickle which was in the same hole as a clad quarter o/w I probably would not have dug it. LOL! The war nickle hit like a wheat at like 12.41...
