    11/11/09 yard hunt

    Not too bad, only 1 yard out of 2 produced, as the second yard homeowner just wanted to shoot the breeze. Silver quarter I dug out of an old ballfield that I have picked clean, or so I thought. Dug that one at 10".

    Key date Indian

    Went out last nite after work and hunted the front yard of a civil-war era home here in Mich. The property was once part of S. Mich prison. The soil was really fluffy and zincolns were dug at 5" or so. Still, I managed a couple Indians, near that same depth. The 1886 appears to be a type 2...

    Dug me a HUGE silver

    This morning I hunted a small old picnic area, dug a few clad and could tell that dirt may have been pushed around here years back. Lots of low conducting signals in the ground. I dug an odd signal that may have been nestled between some iron. Thought at first I had found another Kennedy...

    MInelab is a great detector!

    I'm kind of a new one with Minelab, I bought this unit in Sept of last year. Right off the bat it did real well with silver coinage! Here are my '09 finds so far in Michigan. I can't say enough about this contraption!

    SEF/EXP II hammers a 1920's farmhouse

    I hunted a fresh farmhouse front yard tonite after work, I scanned it for an hour. I try to hit at least 2 new yards a week. The Exp II kills the silver. I almost didn't dig the Walker, as I was tired of diggin wheats out of the heavily-rooted yard. Glad I did, almost stabbed it! Wheaties...

    Farmhouse large silver

    Got out today in Mich. and hunted a new front yard, 1890 farmhouse. I suspected dirt had been moved about, and the homeowner told me that years ago hogs and chickens roamed in front. I took maybe five steps into the yard and the Exp II screamed silver on the first hit. Large silver reeded rim...

    A few whispers, site of an old circus

    Stomped around an old circus site, area is a few acres in size. Perfect Michigan weather and the turf is flat, allowing me to drag the coil over the ground. Hunting whispers here, dimes are now 8" deep on average. Virtually no trash left, and I've dug at least 25 silver coins dating back to...

    Old one-room site and SEF coil

    Today I took my new SEF coil to a site that I've hunted no less than 3 times with my Expl II. Schoolhouse has been gone for 40 years and a home built beyond here back in '71, so, maybe it hasn't seen much hunting. I'm working a site that is about 50x100'. Wow! Pocket spill roosie and merc...
