    1935 Washington quarter was sitting on top of a nail at 7-8". [VIDEO]

    Couldn't drive over to my new spot, and hunt the V nickel tree today because I was pressed for time. Only had about an hour to get some swings in, so went to my old park to re-hit some spots that had been good to me. Decided to pick a tree that had a lot of orange bricks buried in and around it...

    An hour of scrubbing to clean one V Nickel, but worth it.

    Just wanted to show what a LOT of scrubbing with a Green Scrubby can do for a really toasted V Nickel. When I first pulled this from the ground (see picture) it was terrible, and I couldn't get a date. Now, after scrubbing this under warm water with a green scrub pad, I can see that it's a 1908...

    More goodies from the V Nickel tree...

    Here's a quick video of today's finds. Dug my 4th V Nickel today at my spot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQknJerGQOs

    Tree gives up ANOTHER Barber dime, 7 Wheats, and an 1881 IH

    Really like this tree I've been working. Had an hour to hunt it today after spending all morning at the VA Hospital, so finding another silver cheered me up. I was able to record the entire dime discovery from target, plug, to discovery. Interesting TID's in Ground-Coin mode. Also got a deep...

    The V Nickel tree had a Barber.

    Went back to the tree I found the three V Nickels and IH yesterday, and plucked a nice 1912 Barber dime. So far this little spot has been really good to me. Nice that the CTX is waterproof. It was a mess today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHX37iH9LTA

    1 tree, 1 root, my first V nickel, then my 2nd, and 3rd!

    What a day. Great weather for MD'ing. Got out to my new spot around 2pm and started hitting the area that I found a Merc and War nickel. After about two hours I headed towards a bunch of trees. One of them was obviously very old. The roots stretched out at-least 40 feet and were visible along...

    Almost tossed a silver War nickel today...

    I was working this area that has been giving-up a lot of pre-WWII era coins, so I figured sooner or later I'd find some silver. The soil is so soft that almost all of the good targets are 8" and deeper. I first found a Merc at 8" that I almost mistook for a clad dime because it was so dark. This...

    Silver, Buffalo, and a Largie kinda day.

    I've been wanting to hunt a park that's a little drive from my neighborhood, and away from my usual spot. I've had a hard time deciding to leave a place that usually produces to venture somewhere new, but this weekend I made the decision, and it paid off. There wasn't a lot of trash like I was...

    New park produces a Barber.

    Decided to leave my favorite park and hunt one a few miles away. Didn't have a lot of targets, but my very last target of the night was a really dark 1916 Barber dime. Took awhile to clean. Like tar on it or something. Really sticky after a quick dip in some Tarn-X.

    Attacked at the park today.

    This is the LAST time I go MD wearing shorts. I hit a pocket near a very murky section of park that's had a lot of rain recently, and is still very damp, and within 10 minutes of hunting had over 50 mosquito bites. My face, arms, and legs are covered. I never had a chance to realize what was...

    NETR Aerial site pays off with silver.

    A week ago I was telling a hunting buddy of mine about a section of park that used to have an old mansion, and how I had hunted the area in front of it finding my first IH from 1889. It was on my mind, so I decided to checkout NETR again and see if there was any spot I hadn't checked. Something...

    2 more silver, and I scratch another one. ugh

    Seriously have the worst luck digging. I've scratched 4 out of the last 5 coins now that were silver. Anyway, back the new section again today with a fellow hunter, and I pulled this 1940 Merc. Scratched it of course. Glad it's not a key date. So far, nothing in this area of dirt has had...

    Deep silver dimes, stacked at 8" and 11" in the same hole!

    Yesterday I hunted a new area of the park, and found the 1837 Token, along with a really worn Rosie. I decided to concentrate my entire hunt today in the same spot, within a 30x30 area of the token. Soon as I got there I noticed a very young looking tree. It couldn't be more than 30 years old...

    Silver, and an 1837 "Hard Times" token!

    Wasn't having much luck today, so decided to leave after my friend Lou stopped by to see how I was doing. Started walking towards my Jeep which was about 300 yards away, so, like always, I drag my coil to see if I can catch any high tones. I used to find lucky silver like this when I had the...

    How I have my CTX set-up to run. Video guide.

    Here's a step by step video to set your CTX up like I have mine. I've taken Gonehunting's settings and mashed them with Bill S' "trashy park" pattern with some modifications made to it. Works great. Hope some of you like it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2XSuEBQKBE To help with setting...

    Ground-Coin hits two deep silver right off the bat. Nice.

    Tried a trashy park pattern using Ground-Coin mode today and Manual 27 sens, and within seconds I hit a 10" deep merc. Second time the CTX hit a silver target soon as I turned it on. I know, lucky lucky, but wow, awesome. Ground Coin mode found two silver dimes at 7" and 10" today in a spot I've...

    This crazy looking bug lands on the CTX...HOLY S!

    This thing scared the S outta me today. Not sure what kind of hybrid mosquito-bee it is, but it just stared at me. The Mexican standoff lasted a minute or so until I realized my badass finger was powerful enough to flick the life outta him, and that was the last MD he ever landed on. lol...

    CTX finds partial Mercury dime roll covered in rust among iron!

    Every time I take this machine out it never ceases to amaze me. I met-up with my buddy Jon again today at the park, and we started off in a section that's been producing. After an hour or so of clad, trash, and a few Wheats, we started following a path that I had pounded for weeks prior with the...

    Found my first gold ring today, and it's a class ring from my Alma Mater!

    I went back to the spot I found the 6 silver dimes at yesterday, and only had an hour to hunt, so I told myself I would only dig deep targets. Only targets 5" and deepr to up my chances of finding good coins, and just as I was getting ready to leave, I hit a weird signal bouncing around 12-41...
