    Dollar coin times two today

    Thanks Jim tn, you got the full meal deal on that one, coin, bezel, and chain. Here is one that I found clear back in 1992, coin and bezel but no chain. Scooped it out of a freshwater lake. GL & HH

    First silver coin of the year and a little more.

    Thanks Odanscoils, I use the Fisher F70 a lot for the dirt. The AtPro i use for the dirt and the water.

    First silver coin of the year and a little more.

    Got a ‘47 Rosie from a house lot where the house is going to be torn down. Snuggled the AtPro with the 11” coil up close to a wrought iron fence and got a good signal. Down about 5” in the leaf mold, first silver coin of the year. Was using the AtPro because it was raining. The other finds...

    A few F70 finds.

    Old man winter is releasing his hold so I have got out for a few dirt hunts with the F70. 925 spinner ring was found at a high school just under skiff of snow, claddagh ring at another high school down an inch. BiCenntenial half, v nickel, padlock charm and tungsten ring were found at a soccer...

    Dollar coin times two today

    I tumbled the dollar coins, they look better. The 1974 Ike dollar I found in May of 2022 in the dirt, the 1972 I found in the water less than a year later. What are the odds of that happening? Metal detecting is a strange (and enjoyable) hobby for sure.

    Dollar coin times two today

    It was a nice sunny day so I got out for a water hunt, hoping to find some jewelry and/or old coins. I found neither, but did find two dollar coins. First stop was at the river, I got a mid to upper nineties vdi on the At Pro. Missed it on the first scoop which caused the silt to obscure my...

    Coin spill

    Congrats on a great silver coin spill. That would be the highlight of the year for a lot of us. No pennies in the spill? Did you do the happy dance?

    Well if I’m only going to find one coin…..

    Good job Ronstar, you seem to do very good on the barbers.

    A bonus to go with the clad

    Thanks for the replies! I did count the ten in my finds.. I like sl 52’s suggestion to use it to buy breakfast on my next hunt. The Canadian coins I will continue to hang on to them and take a trip to Canada some time, thanks Ronstar!

    Took my old CZ7a out the other day, can't believe it still gets coins where i have hunted with 4 or 5 other detectors, even the XP Deus 1.

    Good job Flintstone. I still have a CZ5 and a CZ7apro. Just haven’t used them for awhile. Might be time to try them again. We have been getting some rain now and I’m thinking those CZ’s will punch deep.

    A bonus to go with the clad

    Just more clad coins today and a couple junker rings. Started out with the F70, but noticed some dark rain clouds moving in quick, so I switched it out for the AT PRO for the waterproofness. Found the ten dollar bill while searching along a fence line at a little league ballpark. So, does...

    Nothing but clad but i still had fun

    I went metal detecting to a high school that has been very good for large amounts of clad in the past. This school has also given me 3 gold rings and a few silver rings. Usually it is only clad. I don’t hunt it too often so the clad has time to accumulate. In most areas, the grass is thick...

    Interesting comparison: durability of clad coins vs. 90% silver

    Thanks autopilot42!

    Thanks Picketwire, I love the silver coins.

    Interesting comparison: durability of clad coins vs. 90% silver

    Thanks marcomo, that is very interesting. To me, the clad coins seems far more susceptible to degradation, but evidently things aren’t always what they seem. You have made me stop and think about it and I am open to different points of view. As you pointed out, from an aesthetic point of...

    Interesting comparison: durability of clad coins vs. 90% silver

    Thanks Hank68, I agree about the condition, I think it looks great, lots of detail. Not bad for being at the bottom of the lake for 50+ years! GL&HH.

    Spill

    That sounds like fun Rick, I like a good coin spill. Get ‘‘em in bunches instead of one at a time.
