    Well im back home after Jan, Feb and Mar in Florida. I got to hunt with 3 or 4 good hunters that knew some of the older small towns. I hunted the first two months in the center of the state around Avon Park. We got permission to hunt the old ball field that was around during Babe Ruth era. I...

    Beach and coil covers

    Im about to start my beach hunting and just cant see a downside to having a coil cover on. Ive always used a cover everywhere.. BUT on the beach. Anyone that does much beach hunting knows how little soil it takes to make the Explorers chatter. If you hunt the lane at the waters edge or just...

    ML backlogs

    I was talking to one of the ML dealers and also noticed a post on another forum about ML detectors being on back order. Seems their closing of their Irland location and not getting their new one up and running have put a crimp in their shipments. I would assume that might hurt repairs as...

    Find a friend

    Did i miss it or is there no FIND A FRIEND forum on here? Sometimes it comes in handy when you travel to find a local person to detect with. I guess we just post or at say the beach or relic forum if thats the type of hunting you intend to do? Dew

    New coin dollars

    For those of you who collect coins have you noticed something about the new dollars? Well yesterday was my first experience at getting a roll of these coins. The most obvious thing was ... the dates missing. Seems someone made a not so bright decision to put the date on the side of the...

    Coin cleaning

    I find and see all these nasty looking coins.... the before and then the after shots. How are you cleaning them... especially those wheats? Ive not found a great method yet for cleaning the copper. Im pretty content with COIN CARE and Q-tips for cleanning silver or even a little bar tenders...

    Good hunt today

    Turned out to be a good day silver wise. Ended up with 21 Wheats, 2 Rosey's (1957, 50D), and 5 Merc's (1916, 17, 40, 44, 45), one War nickel (43P) and a Kennedy half. I didnt show all the junk jewerly and new clad. I was hunting a 1929 school house no longer in use. I talked to the amish...

    A couple of keepers

    I hunted one of the oldest parks in Indy today. There is a lot of fill dirt and i could see where others have been hunting it pretty heavy. I managed to squeeze out a few keepers. I got my second.... 1918 S SLQ in almost as good a shape as the one i got in Florida. One of these days im...

    Mositure

    Looks like the RAINY season here in Indiana. Apparently this has affected dramaticlly the finds. I know i hunted the other day and picked up a pretty good handful of clad..... but not the normal deeper older coins. The ground is saturated and even the deep coins in my test garden dont give a...
