    This morning's finds

    Back at the same old city park to try to squeeze out a couple more coins this morning. Park Pirate was already there digging when I arrived. First good find was a nearly smooth V nickel. Followed that up with a trolley flattened Indian head cent. Looks to be an 1881. Moved to a different area...

    1st silver of the year

    Spring has finally sprung here in upstate NY. Met up with Park Pirate this morning at our favorite pounded city park. Finds are really getting slim but I was able to sniff out a 56 Roosie that was masked by a Jefferson nickel in the same hole. Added a couple United Traction Company school tokens...

    Dirty clad cashed in for some big silver.

    Took my tumbler cleaned clad coins to the Coin Star machine and ended up with a little over $150.00 . Hit the monthly coin show in Albany today and invested it in some silver bullion coins. Ended up buying a 2013 and two 2012 US silver eagles and for something different, a 2013 silver Chinese...

    New AT Pro arrived yesterday...Can't wait to give it a try !

    Just another weapon to add to my arsenal. I've been using Minelab Explorers primarily the last 10 years with my trusty White's DFX as a backup. I love the weight and balance of the AT Pro. Should be able to hunt longer than the 4-5 hour maximum I had before my back gave out using the Explorer...

    First finds of the New Year.....2013 picks up right where 2012 ended (Buffalo nickels)

    We're in the middle of a nice January thaw with temps in the upper 40's. Most of the snow has melted and no frost in the ground what so ever. Had to take advantage and get out while the getting is still good. Hit my favorite park a little after noon and saw BRATNY detecting an area around the...

    I'm considering getting an AT - Should I go Pro or Gold ?

    I want to do some detecting via Kayak next season so I need something waterproof in case I capsize !!! So I will be relic hunting, coin shooting and maybe some beach hunting. What AT do you guys recommend ? Thanks, Ed

    2 more Buffaloes join the herd !

    Back at the same old digs with Park Pirate this morning to try our luck before some snow moves in.... About the same results as last week. Four wheaties and then dug an iffy nickel tone which turned out to be 2 buffalo nickels stacked on top of each other. Looks like a 1936 and a worn "no...

    Nickel pocket spill saves the day.

    Still no sign of Winter in Upstate NY...Felt like a nice Spring day this morning so I met up with Park Pirate at our old faithful city park. Not much luck until I got a decent deep signal I thought might be a war nickel. Dug the signal and it turned out to be a 1944-P war nickel sandwiched...

    A little silver, some green Buffaloes, career "good" keeper #2000 and a 13 year project finally is complete.

    Hasn't been my best year detecting but there were a couple of special moments. Number one was digging my first and only gold coin in 25 years, a 1906 $2.50 coronet type. Today I dug a 1916 mercury dime (no D) which was find # 2000 since I dug my first keeper (a 1900-O Barber dime on 10/31/87). I...

    This morning's find was "large".

    Met up with Park Pirate this morning for some detecting. After some unproductive hunting we tried a different area of the park. My first signal came in like a deep indian head cent but after digging down a good 8 inches, the signal was still deeper in the hole. After going a solid 10 inches down...

    A few crusty ones today !

    Hit a different park this morning for some older ground in hopes of snagging a few indian head cents or silver. Was lucky to dig 5 indian head cents and a buffalo nickel. No silver but I'll take the 5 indian heads. Been a while since I have dug anything from the 1800's so it was nice to dig the...

    Dug a few this morning before the storm hits !!!

    Looks like today will be the last day digging for a while as we're expecting heavy rain for the next 4 or 5 days !!! Met up with Park Pirate this morning and he already had a silver war nickel in his pouch. In this little area of the park there isn't too much to dig except nickel signals. My...

    A few recent finds

    Still recovering from a separated right shoulder but it finally feels good enough to swing the Explorer. Met up with Park Pirate this morning and pulled a few wheaties and two Buffalo nickels. The mercury dime and the third Buffalo were from a short hunt last weekend. Actually had frost on the...

    Got a couple this morning

    With September's cooler temperatures hopefully my detecting will be heating up !! Met up with Park Pirate at my "1000" oldies park and was lucky enough to add three more to my running total there. First find was a nice 1935 buffalo nickel. A while later, I dug the 1920 mercury dime that was...

    A couple of morning keepers

    Met up with Park Pirate this morning and was finally able to dig a couple of older coins. First dig of the day was a no date Buffalo nickel. Followed that up with a wheatie and then finally dug my first indian head cent in about 2 months to break that drought. Also in the photo is a US...

    Long silver slump ended today !!!

    In my 24 plus years of metal detecting, I had never gone this long without finding a silver coin. It has been nearly 10 weeks since I dug my last silver coin. With the unbearable heat over the last month or so really haven't been hitting it that much. I decided to put away my "B" machine I was...

    Why did I try to put this set together ????

    When the state quarters were released in 1999 I thought it would be a nice project to attempt to put together the full collection via detecting finds. Well, 13 years later I'm still trying to complete the set. I'm down to needing just two, Utah and Oklahoma. The last couple weeks I've...

    Sunday morning finds

    Met up with Park Pirate and BRATNY this morning. After about three hours of tough searching I had only the 1891 V-nickel and a crusty 1895 indian head in my pouch. Butch suggested we try a spot to the West end of the park. Did a little better there with the 1893 and 1899 indian heads and the...

    A few morning finds

    Met up with Park Pirate this morning and managed to dig a few keepers. Second war nickel of the season and a couple of indian heads 1889 and one crusty one !!! Ground conditions are dry like we usually see in August. Some needed rain on the way.
