    My 1st day out with the 15X12 SEF coil!

    Man, it seems like forever since I posted anything here. My detecting time has been nearly non-existant, but I've still been lurking on the forums. The new SEF coils caught my attention and through someone's very well appreciated generosity I received a 15"X12" SEF coil. I intended to do some...

    Where do you get the new SEF coil???

    I can't find where you buy one... it sure sounds like a coil I need for a lot of spots in the old parks here that I know have lots of silver coins between 10-16" deep.

    4 Injuns and a surprise 1942/1 D Merc dime :bouncy:

    Hi everyone. Too busy to get out much, but had a nice morning last weekend to stop by the local ghetto park for an hour before work. I was hoping to find at least one old coin where I started, but it was so trashy with bottle caps all over the ground, I had to kind of work around the peremeter...

    2 HOURS = 2 SILVER DIMES, 2 NON-SILVER DOLLARS!!!

    Went back out to the park I hit yesterday hoping for more silver.... I was a little disappointed. Most of the park turned out to be recent fill dirt, but I re-hunted the small hot spots from yesterday and managed 2 more silver dimes - 1951S Roosy and 1943D Merc, 17 more wheaties (no key dates...

    2 HOUR HUNT = 10 SILVERS AND KEY DATE 1914D WHEATIE!!! :super:

    Another slow day at work so I took off a little early to do some detecting before our club meeting tonite. I had my eye on a particular park in the city for many years, but never hunted it because I assumed it was built in the 1960's and not worth the effort when I had better places always...

    15 minute hunt leaves me "sitting" pretty!!! :super:

    Work was slow today, so I took an extended lunch break to head to one of the local ghetto parks. I hadn't hunted in almost a month, so I had the itch to dig something old.... I tried my luck at a beat to death, iron-infested spot that had given up many seated coins over the years. Within 5...

    Short little road trip on Father's Day... :bouncy:

    My better half let me disappear for half a day's detecting WITHOUT bringing the 3 year old along, so I decided to head northeast of town to hit some parks I hadn't been to in several years. None of them had much to dig, but it beat the same old scene of the local parks. I found a couple silver...

    Quick hunt at hunted out park = unbelievable success!!!

    Had an hour or 2 to kill at pounded to death ghetto park. Hunted a spot that has been beat to death by Explorers... not by choice, only because the grass was just cut and that was the only spot in the park that wasn't 2 feet deep in grass. I was hoping for a stray indian or maybe a silver dime...

    ROAD TRIP!!! :clapping:

    Time for my annual road trip! Almost didn't go because of time and the cost of gas.... but at the last second I cleared my plans through the war department at home, rented a car, and off I went. I spent 3 days up in southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, and western Wisconsin. I researched sites...

    Ghetto park bleeds more silver...

    My last couple of trips to the ghetto park AFTER the lawn mowers cut down the knee high grass yielded some good finds... [attachment 89211 30apr08finds.JPG] The seated dime was a major surprise at 5 inches deep and a loud solid signal that blew my ears out! I figured it was silver but a Merc...

    :look: :look: :look: :look: Whats shakin'???

    Sorry, off topic here.... was looking through the forum and we got hit with a 5.4 earthquake around 5 AM. Everything in the house was shaking and the TV is alive with local news coverage. We rarely get quakes here, but with the New Madrid fault south of us, it's one of those things always...

    Great day for some detectin'... :super:

    FINALLY a decent weekend weather-wise, AND I have time to go out hunting! I planned to hit the local ghetto park to dig up some oldies. Bright and early at sunrise I was off and hunting.... a little chilly and the ground is covered in frost, but the sun warmed things up in a hurry! I normally...

    Rare silver-filled day at the park... :bouncy:

    We are going through a very wet season... snow, rain, floods, cold....... Time for detecting is slim. A week ago the temps climbed into the low 60's and after a day of strong wind drying off the grass, I knew where to head for... the local ghetto park. Stopped there after work for an hour and a...

    Kicked out of my favorite park!!!:rant: :hot::rage:

    The other day I was out at my favorite local park - Forest Park here in St. Louis - I had just dug an Indian Cent and stood up to find a young lady in overalls standing behind me...why do they have to "sneak up" from behind??? She looks at me, looks at my detector, looks at me and puts her hands...

    Silver Fix.....:detecting:

    I couldn't stand the cabin fever anymore. Weather has been miserable for a while.... I drove through my favorite park last weekend while I was out running some errands and I spied some interesting construction work. The ground was frozen, but some work was done out in a patch of woods where they...

    More wintertime boredom.... 1,400+ Indian cents! :crazy:

    Ok... I had to do the same thing with my Indian Cents. That collection is also 5 short of being completed. I need 1860, 1862, 1871, 1877, 1909S. I think I stand a decent chance of finding these... eventually. I may even have a better than average shot at a 1909S since I have found 1909S Wheaties...

    Wintertime boredom??? Count through 9,000+ wheaties!!! :spin: Long!

    The recent cold snap has me suffering cabin fever big time... I had nothing better to do with my free time, so I undertook a small endeavor that I had been wanting to do for the past couple years. I have a whitman album for wheat pennies that I have been filling up with my dug coins for the...

    Tiniest silver coin you'll ever see!!! :yikes:

    Went out to the ghetto park after work for a few minutes in the blustery cold weather. I found a silver roosevelt in a bunch of pulltabs, so I was a little motivated to continue freezing my butt off for another few minutes. Not long after I get a faint repeatable hit that sounded like a vey deep...

    First trip of 2008! :bouncy:

    Not much to show for it, but I did get some silver... Decided to hit a little park in downtown St. Louis, last Sunday, that I've had my eye on for a while. They finished doing a lot of landscaping to it last fall, and I wanted to hunt it then when the turf was all scraped up leaving bare dirt...
