    windy day - 2 mercs

    The same storm dropping snow in New England is causing steady 20-25 mph winds with gusts to 50 mph down here. No snow though, just a little rain yesterday. I went out this morning (38 degrees F) to an area in a park, and hit a couple lawn areas that I hit years ago, before I really knew how to...

    65 degrees! silver and LC

    beautiful day today - went out for almost two hrs. to take advantage of the weather and moist soil. Perfect day for detecting. I was digging only high conductors today. Right off the bat got a faint signal at 7 inches. Saw the shiny quarter in the dirt pile, was hoping for a Barber or SLQ...

    sterling ring and naughty token (G-rated photo)

    Hunted a couple hours Friday morning in the woods at a park. I concentrated on higher conductive signals because of all the trash here. Only three coins, all cents. Thought I had a silver quarter, but it was this x-rated token made of aluminum. Then had another cent signal, but found the...

    first Franklin half

    A little chilly this morning, 38 degrees, with a steady 20-25 mph wind blowing. I wanted to get out one more time before the Turkey day holiday. Started out on the lawn area at the park, but we are in a drought situation and the digging was hard. Also out in the open the wind was tough...

    Mixed bag - silver ring

    I hunted two spots today, the wooded area I've been hunting for a while, and the foul territory around a ball field. The ground is extremely dry now, I may just wait for some rain before hunting again. Found some clad and the silver band at the ball field, the ring was just 4 inches deep, a...

    sterling scout ring, silver quarters

    I went out to the woods at an old park this morning. This is an area of about three acres which had some activity until the 70s, when it was abandoned and became overgrown. 50-75% of the area is not huntable, due to thick brush. For some reason I continue to find silver quarters, but not many...

    woods hunt with silver

    I've only been out four times since June, too hot and dry. These have all been hunts in the woods where the digging is a little easier. The first two were skunks, then I found a V-nickel, then today found a couple silvers, a 1945P war nickel and a 1951 Washington which is bent. These woods...

    1926 SLQ

    I got my second SLQ today, both of them have full dates, which is unusual. We had a cool front go through, so I'd thought I'd go out before the hot weather returned. Still working the woods at an old park, today I tried an area where it used to be semi-open, but is now overgrown. There are a...

    twin indians

    My first time out in June this morning. It's been rainy and a little warm, then a cold front came through yesterday. Large parts of the park I went to today have not been mowed this year yet. First two targets were the two 1883 indians, about 2 feet apart. Each were about 6 inches deep. Both...

    S-mint silver

    I'm still hunting the old pond site in the woods of one of my parks. I went there yesterday after it had rained the night before. Kind of messy, the undergrowth was still wet, but I stuck it out for 2.5 hours. Near the end of the hunt got a good semi-deep signal (about 5 inches), which I was...

    1st Barber in a while

    I went back to the same wooded area in a park where I found the three silver GW quarters. I took BigTony's advice and slowed down, thinking there had to be some silver dimes. The spot where I found the quarters I went over again, but nothing. Moved to a nearby clearing, hit the 1923 buffalo...

    two silver day

    Hi - This morning I went to try a wooded area in a park. Last Thursday a cab driver saw me hunting this park and told me about a spot in the woods where there used to be a pond with gardens around it. This was before WWII, and not long after the war the area was abandoned and allowed to return...

    Merc, buffalo, Indian.

    Went out for two hours today at the old standby park, and hit an area I have hit before. The grass is still dormant and the ground is moist so I had some luck going over ground I had covered before. The highlight might have been seeing four bald eagles soaring overhead, and this is in a park...

    First hunt of 2016

    Like everyone in the east, we've had a mild winter until recently. Just had our first hard freeze two nights ago. My last hunt was in early December. I went out for a couple hours this morning, found a nice flat button (16 mm) with backmark, an 1884 Indian, and three wheats 1917, 1942, and...

    found a moose

    I tried a different park yesterday, one I've never been to. It didn't start out well, wasn't even finding much clad. Finally got a high conductor signal abut 7 inches down and found the Moose fob (bigger than a half dollar) from the 1925 convention in Baltimore. Checked the Balto. Sun...

    Walker and ring

    It's been a slow year for me - only been out five times in the last two months. We have finally got some good rain so I feel better about digging in the turf at the parks. Went out this morning with my wife, the first time she's gone with me (she doesn't detect though). She took the dog for a...

    best two-cent coin so far

    I went back this morning to same area where I found the trade token Tuesday. A beautiful day, sunny and 70 degrees. Another two hour hunt with not much clad, looking mainly for deeper targets. For some reason I have had good luck finding two cent coins at this park, this one is the fourth...

    old trade token

    Yesterday I went to my favorite park and found that they had cut the grass, which helps a lot when you're trying for deep signals. I tried an area where some old stuff has turned up. Not a whole lot found, but a couple of keepers, a buffalo nickel which I think is a 1918, and my first trade...

    digging nickels

    I haven't been out much lately, had some work to do around the house which took up a lot of the nice weather (painting the barn). This morning I got out for two hours to a spot I had hit quite a bit, but decided to look for nickel signals since on earlier trips I was looking for high...

    Shield nickel and indian

    I'm one of those that dig very few low conductors, because where I hunt is very trashy. But lately I have been digging a few nickel signals, especially if they're fairly deep. Today I had a nickel signal, dug the hole and found a beaver tail tab, refilled the hole, then swung over it again and...
