    Only a wheat, but a good one

    Yesterday morning I went out to a park. Rain was forecast, but I was able to detect for a couple hours before the rain got too heavy. Only found a couple wheats plus some clad, but one of the wheats was a first for me, a 1909 VDB. I have found a couple of 1909's before but for some reason I...

    Cold morning, but ground was soft.

    I went out this morning, knowing that the weather is going to be bad tomorrow. It was 28 degrees this morning, but sunny and not too windy, so it was OK. First target was a deep copper signal, which looked like a large cent at first, but turned out to be a large flat button, with no markings...

    1st hunt after snow - silver

    We had a big storm about 8 days ago, I had about 24 inches of snow in my yard and it has finally mostly melted. I went out this morning for about 3 hours (sunny, 55 degrees). Ground is pretty muddy, but I managed my first silver coin of 2014, and a 1903 indian head. The 1916 merc. (no "D")...

    couple Indians and junk ring

    I went out for two hours today, only found the two indians. They were shallower than I usually find them, about 4-5 inches. Probably because the hilltop where I was detecting has a thin layer of topsoil. The ring gave me a scare. It popped out shiny and I started to get excited, but realized...

    good hunt for Dec.

    We had two snows last week (total 13 inches) and I still have 3-4 inches of snow in my yard, but today I drove south about 20 minutes to an area where I thought the snow should be melted. I went to my favorite park and found there were only scattered patches of snow and the ground was not...

    Large cent and more

    I went out this morning for 2 hours & 45 minutes to the spot where I found the 1809 half cent a couple weeks ago. This is in a park, and is a wide field with almost no trees. The good thing is there is very little modern trash, since this is off the park road a ways, and nowadays people don't...

    First half cent - 1809

    I haven't had much luck lately, it was dry until early October, then we got a good rain. Went to an old park this morning for about two hours. I was looking for deep signals, and after about an hour got one which sounded like an Indian and was reading about 9 inches on the depth scale. CO...

    1st SLQ

    I haven't hunted much this month. My older daughter graduated from Columbia with a Masters in Nursing last week, and we went to NYC for the ceremony. My younger son joined the Marines, also last week, and is in Parris Island. Also busy with spring yard work. I went out early this morning to...

    one lone Merc. (deep one)

    Tried a spot in an old park where I've had some success before. Temp was 70 F today, the grass is going to start growing now. That's bad in this park because they don't mow very often and when they do, they cut it high. Total time was two hours, not a lot of finds, but did find one Merc, a...

    Indians and one silver

    I went out this morning although it was a bit cold, about 37 F and a steady 15-20 mph wind. I had on my heavier gloves today, but I only lasted one hour. I hit an Indian head cent right off the bat, so that gave me some incentive to stick it out for a while. Ended up finding two Indians, 1902...

    couple of IHs

    We had a 45 degree day yesterday, but rainy. Today it was not raining but colder, about 32 degrees when I went out. The ground was not frozen, though. There was a steady 15-20 mph wind blowing with gusts to 30 mph. I went to a park area where I found a 2-cent coin and several Indians last...

    1st silver of 2013

    I went to an old park this morning for a little over two hrs. The spot I tried is where I found my oldest coin, an 1800 LC about a year ago. Didn't find much, but did manage to get the first silver, a 1945 Merc. It was back-to-back with a 1937 wheat, which left a green ring on the Merc. The...

    Canadian token 1830s

    The ground is not frozen here - most winters it doesn't freeze for long. I went out to an old park this morning, temp was 35 F, but sunny and not much wind, so it was not bad. I found this old token which was made in the 1830s by Prince Edward Island, Canada. It's 26 mm in diam., not dated...

    Indian and two cent

    Tried a new park today. It's actually a part of a large park that has been cut off from the main park by road construction. Ground doesn't look like it's been filled. Second target was the 1887 Indian, down about 7-8 inches. Not far away was the 1868 two cent piece, about 7 inches deep...

    first eagle button

    I got out this morning for two hours at an old park. The first spot I hit was where I found a seated quarter last fall. The ground is fairly moist, but the grass is still high. I got a deep signal which sounded good, but was not quite in the silver coin range. Dug down about 8 inches and...

    Quick hunt with silver

    Went to my favorite park, but to an area I haven't searched before. This area is where a lot of shade tree mechanics used to work on their cars, but they have posted signs now prohibiting that. The soil is starting to get a little dry. Since finding the 1877 seated quarter, I was shut out on...

    nice seated quarter

    It rained a good soaking rain here yesterday, so I went out this morning to an old park. It was overcast, but the rain was supposed to hold off until afternoon. I went to an old picnic grove which has some big oaks. About a week ago I found a 1942 Merc here. I found a little clad and four...

    Large cent - date?

    I haven't been finding much lately, April was very dry here, but we have had some rain over the past two weeks, and my finds are picking up. Monday I found a 1917 merc., and several wheats, which for me is a good hunt. Today I went to an area where I found a toasted large cent back in...

    better two center, IHC

    I decided to go back to an old park this morning where I had found my first silver coin after getting the Explorer, a couple years ago. I hit it pretty hard back then, I thought. Soil is drying out a little after a lot of rain in January. Total hunt time was 2.25 hours. I was feeling pretty...

    1st silver coin of 2012

    I went back to the area where I found the sterling thimble yesterday and hunted for a little less than 2 hours. Not a lot of targets today, I hunted more in the wide open areas. I did hunt around one old stump, which has brush growing around it. The 1916 merc was a broken signal, but it had...
