    Met an old-timers grandson who shocked me!

    Nearly 1000 silver coins found on an old university grounds is probably normal. What's unusual about this particular case is that they were found by one person. Looks like the old fella found a hot area and stuck with it. It seems a little unusual that his journal only listed 1200 pennies...

    Where's Fisher ?

    Maybe start again where you left off with the F2 and get the basics down. Try getting out a couple times a week to improve your swing and digging habits. If you still want to hunt more this Fall,then the AT Pro or the Equinox are both good choices.

    People Planting Finds

    I enjoy seeing what others are finding and any information they can share about how and where it is found. The last thing I want to do is to try to read between the lines of someones post to try to decide if it is legit or not. We all have better things than that to do. When someone posts an...

    should you let your metal detector touch the ground or not while detecting?

    In grass, I always "slide" it along the grass as close to the ground as possible without causing excess friction. For an extra 1/2 inch or so of depth,I use the "scrub" method, which is pressing the coil against the ground during my side to side swing. Scrubbing slows me down and also requires...

    Legend scores yet again!

    Very nice. You'll go over that find in your mind for years to come.

    Took The Legend to the AdLawn and The Legend won!

    Nice hunting on a hard hit area.

    🆘🆘🆘 I DEMAND THE BEST METAL DETCTOR! 🆘🆘🆘

    A detector that could completely eliminate target masking is what I would want. Just give me true target tone and somewhat accurate ID numbers and let me decide if I want to dig or not.

    Road trip iowa

    That's a nice group of coins and other misc. finds. Some people will see a pile of finds like that and say "why can't I find stuff like that". As you stated ,it was 5 days hunting in heat and miserable conditions. It's not as easy as some people think. Nice hunting and congrats on some nice finds.

    A Buckle ???

    I agree with fyrffytr1 and Ronstar, it's a horse bridle rosette.

    A Farm Field Untouched By Time

    These coins and relics were found in a farm field at the site of an 1870's one-room schoolhouse. The Indian Head has green patina but the others a do not show any ground damage. The coins have not been cleaned in any way. The relics are also in good shape. The brass saddle strap and silver...

    The find that I wanted

    That's a nice 3 cent piece. They started making them to pay for the new reduced postage rate of 3 cents for letters in 1851. They seemed to have circulated quite a lot. It's a hard coin to find because of their small size. Nice find!

    Gold coin!

    It's good to know that it gave high numbers that everyone would dig. A $5 gold coin would not fare as well.

    A little clad and an even tinier silver ring.

    Nice ring find. A thin silver ring is easily missed.

    doesn't have to be said but I'll say it anyway

    With the concern and care they show for their customers, i'm thinking they want to stay in the market. Maybe a new product in the future? I'm glad they took care of your needs.

    Old Dog Tax and Flat Buttons

    Great dog tag. I'm calling it an 1886. If they were issued in numerical sequence,there was over 1,400 issued that year. Nobody thought to save them back then. Good for you on getting a good price for it. It may be the only one that ever shows up.

    Indian Half Cent

    The odds are 50-50 that it would show the date, but you just know the undated part would be the part that you find. It looks like a pretty clean cut, I doubt that a plow did it. Sounds like the site is "alive" again. Nice hunting.

    And this is what I got! Really?

    I have noticed coins that are dug near limestone drives very often have excessive environmental damage. The limestone seems to have a chemical reaction with the copper and nickel .

    Schoolhouse On Wrong Side Of The Road

    I am not finding very much silver in the old schoolhouse field sites. I don't think the kids had much reason to carry more than a few pennies and maybe a nickel or two. They didn't have to bring lunch money because they always carried their lunch to school. I feel this is the reason many of...

    Schoolhouse On Wrong Side Of The Road

    The Indians and wheats were anywhere from about 5 inches to near the surface. One of the Indians gave a double 68 hit and I could seen an edge sticking out of the dirt before I dug it. I have found that the deeper green Indian Heads that also have fertilizer induced "patina" usually give the...

    A Flat Button That's More Than A Flat Button

    Today I was looking over the flat buttons that I have been fortunate to find this spring. Most of the flat buttons that I find have wording such as "Imperial" - "Orange" -"Gilt"-"London" and a few words. I came across this one that said "Jackson's Victory" around the outside rim, with "Standard...
