    SLQ Lot produces more stuff

    Still haven't managed to pull another silver out of this lot but I did come up with a few interesting items yesterday evening: * A huge military button...would like some info on this if anybody knows anything about it. * Modern Health Crusader (a movement started in 1915) pin, initials on front...

    A Sweet Surprise Today

    My second SLQ ever!!!!! :super: I was debating where I should detect this evening, and not coming up with any good ideas I decided to head out to one of my old spots where I've managed a merc and a few wheaties in the past. When I got there I was going over the same holes I'd dug before with...

    Broke into the 1800s again

    Went back to the vacant city lot in the out-of-the-way town where I had found my shield nickel. This time I let my Safari run in all metal, and processed every signal very carefully. Didn't want to miss anything this time. Sure enough, I was able to pluck one keeper from the ground...an 1897 IH...

    Holy smokes! My first shield nickel...and in Washington too!

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised at finding a shield nickel in Washington state, given that people have been here since the mid-1800s, but dang! I never thought I would find one myself. I haven't gone detecting for a while so this morning I went to an out of the way town and detected a vacant...

    Platinum and Titanium...where do they register?

    Hi folks, I don't have any platinum or titanium jewelry, so I was wondering just where on the Safari's scale and numerical value do these metals show up? If anyone wouldn't mind doing an air test (I don't think I've seen one posted here yet...at least not on these metals) I think it could be...

    1883 V Nickel

    Hit the reliable old easements again today and didn't come away disappointed. Finally broke into the 1800s again with this V nickel, and makes it my oldest V nickel to date. I tell ya, one just can't rely on the numerical values when it comes to old nickels. This time it rang in at +16, whereas...

    Interesting finds...

    Near a late 20's apartment complex I found this neat 1948 Captain Midnight SS Decoder. Too bad it's not in better condition as it could have been worth some $$$. The wheaties (dating from 1919 to 1942), Washington tax token, button and religious pendant were found at the same corner of...

    Safari sniffs out silver & gold!!

    Funny I was just talking about gold in my nickel trifecta post!! And here I go and find a lovely 18K white gold ring with two pearls and two small diamonds!!! I found it in an easement adjacent to the one where I found the nickel trifecta, too! I had decided that I was going to start digging...

    Nickel Trifecta and other goodies...

    Hey folks, Haven't posted lately (or done much detecting) since we have been busy moving to another town. But I did get out for a bit a few days ago to the old easement where my Safari found its first merc dime back in April. Back then I was very unexperienced on the Safari so I didn't...

    Where's the rest of the tribe?

    Went back to the old jailhouse for about 20 minutes because I noticed they did a bit more scraping of the dirt. Every time they scrape I find something to keep. Got this lone little injun, 1904. Pretty bad shape but maybe a peroxide bath might help it. From this site alone I've snagged three...

    No silver this week, but some interesting finds nonetheless.

    I think I've pretty much cleaned out the places in town where I've been finding silver coins, so I've ventured into a few new areas and have been coming up with some old stuff but no silver from these spots as of yet. In particular I like the 5 cent trade token (found in the woods near an old...

    Got a ring this morning

    I detected an older easement this morning and came away with this ring. At first I thought FINALLY I've found a 14k ring, but after giving it a quick inspection I couldn't find the 14k mark. I also had my suspicions because the value on the screen read +21 after I waved the ring over the coil...

    Barber rescue at the jailhouse!

    I just had to get out for a couple hours this Memorial Day, especially since the city had scraped more dirt from the old jailhouse site and is getting ready to haul it away. So off I went with the Safari and not more than an inch down came out this 1906 Barber dime. I also got a couple...

    I finally earned my wings...

    Silver wings!! I found this at an old Boy Scout facility that dates back to the twenties. I'm guessing this one is not a replica but a genuine WWII wings. Sure could use some help identifying what type and rank it is. I've looked online and found dozens of different types but not this particular...

    One more silver makes six for the week!

    I had a pretty good week in terms of silver finds. Today marks my sixth silver with a 1942 S war nickel. The wife and I got some stuff done today as we're heading out of town tomorrow for a few days, and I figured I still had some time left to do a quick hunt. So off I went detecting for about...

    30 minute hunt = BIG silver...2nd for the day! And a first for me!

    As if finding the 1919 Merc wasn't good enough this morning, I went back to the Masonic lodge later this afternoon for a half hour hunt and came away with a 1954 Ben Franklin half!! It was down about six inches, just like the Merc, but this time I could tell by the signal that it was something...

    15 minute hunt = 1919 Merc

    I have to take my mother to a doctor's appointment today, so this morning I drove to the next town over to get some coffee and on my way back decided I had a few minutes to detect a small strip of grass next to the old Masonic lodge in town. The building was erected in 1909, so I knew there had...

    Old school coughs up another silver...

    Got out for about an hour and half today at the school I hit yesterday, and started gridding the grassy playground area since I now know old coinage is definitely there. I didn't get my longed for seated dime, but this 1943 Merc will do! It was only three inches deep this time and I heard the...

    A twelve cent day

    Hit an old school yard today and got a '53 Rosie at around 7". Chalk up another one for the Safari! Like I've been saying...they've been coming one at a time and that's just fine. Cool This time I was detecting in all metal mode, trying to listen for that "silver" tone, and sure enough when I...
