    Police visit in the park today

    I was detecting in a small park which adjoins the city swimming pool today when a policeman approached me and told me that the folks who run the pool didn't want me "messing up" their lawn. I pointed out a nearby pile of dog crap and suggested that I was not the one messing up the park. He was...

    Nothing to do with metal detecting, but..

    My brother-in-law has an Eisenhower dollar. He went to the bank and got one the first week they were issued back in 1971 and has carried it in his pocket every day since then. The thing looks like a mirror. It is so smooth and polished it's just unbelievable. If you squint real hard and...

    Anybody on here ever look into

    Any of you ever connect with "the Ring Finders"? I've been watching their vids on line and find the idea interesting. Anybody have any dealings with them? MrGee

    Gonna bury some pennys

    I have a glass jar with over a hundred corroded and bent zinc pennys. I think I'll take them out and bury the jar about 4 inches deep in a park somewhere. Any better suggestions? MrGee

    anybody see this story on the news?

    http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120225/NATION/202250403/1361/Shipwreck-treasure-returns-to-Spain-from-Florida Read it and weep. Never forget - the bigger the find, the quieter you should be about it. It was "returned" to Spain but I wonder, what about the people it was stolen from...

    finally got out again today

    It's pretty cold and ground is still frozen solid, but I had to get out. Went to an elementary school that I have never visited before. found a few coins and found a necklace. It wasn't very deep, but the chain went on forever - all out of frozen ground and of course it was stretched out in...

    Ground still frozen solid..

    ...but I got out for a while today. It was around 40 degrees and not bad, but the ground is still rock hard. Went to the playground at two schools. At the second one I found only one coin but it was a Sacajewa dollar. If you're only gonna find one coin, that's a good one. Can't wait for...

    Warmer weather ahead

    It was 48 degrees here in NE Wisconsin today and is supposed to be 'above average' for the next week at least. The snow should be gone by tomorrow and then the ground begins to thaw..... MrGee

    google blocking access

    Anybody familiar with TreasureFiend videos? I always enjoyed them but today Google is blocking his website due to "malicious software". Anybody knows what's up with that?

    Anxious to try an item on my Christmas list

    Got one of those fishing vests with about 15 velcroed and zippered pocket. I looked at them and thought that all those pockets might help with dirt fishin. It is a fishing vest after all. Now I'm even more anxious for the weather to change so I can try it out. (Think Henry Fonda in On Goldern...

    Nice day today!

    Temps were in the high 40's today and it was just too nice to stay in even though the ground is still frozen solid. I hit the tot lots in three different parks under the theory that the wood chips would be easier to cope with than dirt. Anyhow, went to three parks and found 4 pennys. Are we...

    downside of frozen ground hunting

    Went out for a short while today. It was warmer that yesterday and fairly pleasant out there. However, the ground is still frozen solid and I mangled a penny worse that I ever did before trying to find it and dig it out. Fortunately it was a "spending" penny and not a keeperl....or worse...

    Hope it's an omen

    I did get out for a few minutes today. It was really cold and the ground is still frozen solid but I found 36 cents and a button. The first penny of the season was a 1957D wheat. Sure hoope that's a sign of things to come! MrGee

    Suggestions for new coins

    I just decided that I want to redesign all US coins. Who do you want to see on one? Personally I'd like to see Teddy Roosevelt on one. I know he'e not a very heroic figure, but neither was FDR or Ben Franklin and I always liked that Franklin half. Teddy was responsible for the national park...

    Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow

    That is so rare here in a Wisconsin January, that I'm thinking of putting the batteries back in the old 250 and making a run at it. The ground is still frozen pretty deep but I'm thinking that it might not be back in the thick trees. Or maybe the wood chips in the school playground? I...

    Found a nickle today!

    Of course. I got it in change and I found it in my pocket, but it's a 1946D. Yeaaay for me. (Can anybody tell that I'm bored?) MrGee

Been thinking about going down to the local musem......they are always lookimg for volunteers and i'm thinking it might be a good in for insight into local history. Besides, I've carried several finds in...

    something I've never seen before

    The house across the street from me has been vacant for about 3 or 4 months and a few days ago a sticker appeared on the front door of it. Being a curious type, I went over to see what it said and it was something like..this house has been found vacant and abandoned and has been winterized in...

    Good news on the last ring I found

    As soon as I pulled it out of the ground I knew it was gold but I thought it had a cheapie stone in it. Over the weekend I was told that it is a really nice Sapphire with two diamond chips and a 10L gp;d settomg/ Seems like a nicer find than I first thought. I got one last hunt in last...
