    Chance to get out

    Thawed some today here in Omaha. Got to an old park that has been hunted a lot. I hunted on the south side with a strong sun. Ground was mostly thawed. Hunted around an old bus bench and got my first wheatie (1942). Not much but any hunt here in January is a bonus. Can't wait till spring.

    Hunting Pennsylvania Ave (in Nebraska)

    This is Pennsylvania Ave. in a small town in SE Nebraska. City park located on that street. Had a mild week and the snow melted and ground loosened up a bit. Got out for 2 hours Friday. Nothing special. Just $3 in clad, but it was just nice getting out.

    FS Gray Ghost Headphones

    Selling a pair of Gray Ghost headphones. They came with my purchase of an AT Pro last year. I wore them once or twice and did not like how they fit my melon. They have the volume control and the on-off switch. They work fine, just not for me. $50.00 and I will ship to lower 48. Thanks

    Thinking about Safari

    Hey all. I am thinking about upgrading to a Safari. Can't afford an E-Trac so I think this is my next best option. Currently run an AT-Pro and have done well with it, but I know too many people who have E-Trac's and do better than I. What are the similarities between E-Trac and Safari? Does...

    Last hunt of 2012

    Got my last hunt in on Tuesday as we are supposed to be shoveling 6-8" of snow Thursday morning. Went to a new site trying like heck to get one more silver to make it 70 on the year. Got a bouncy 81-85 at 6" and pulled up a 1951 Rosie so I hit my mark. Also got a 1920 Indian Head nickel. My...

    Biggest Ring Yet!

    Went to the same park where last week I found my 67th silver coin. It was 14 degrees last night so I thought the ground might be frozen, but it wasn't quite solid yet. Got a 90-91 signal at 2" on the AT Pro. Thought it might be a can lid, but this baby turned up. My biggest silver ring to...

    Broke my record

    Just had to tell someone since my wife doesn't enjoy the hobby. I set my new record today for silver in a year. Went to Omaha's largest park and got a 34 Indian Head nickel and two steps from where I was going to call it quits dug up a '46 Rosie. That makes 67 silver on the year (still only...

    Readings on silver quarters

    Read somewhere in a post a long time ago that sometimes silver quarters will ring up in the high 60's. All quarters I have found this year are the standard 86-90. Any truth to this high 60's idea?

    Found a whatzit.

    Had a chance to hunt on a chilly morning. Came upon a 82 signal at 1 " that I almost passed on. Pulled out a 1898 Barber dime. I tend not to dig too many surface signals, but I think that will change now. Also got this tag dated 1935-1936. It says "Iowa DEpt. of Agriculture on it. Any...

    I set a possible world record today

    I am checking with the folks at Guiness Book of World Records under the catagory of worst luck. Today I dug my 23rd 1965 quarter for the year. How can I find so many 1965's at 4-6 inches and only dig one silver quarter all year? I have 3 silver halves on the year but only one quarter. No idea...

    Second Oldest Coin to Date

    Spent my day off at a Western Iowa park (far away from where I was kicked out). This park is loaded with trash but the last time here I got a Barber dime and an Indian. Went very slow, digging anything that sounded even remotely good. No silver today but got (2) 1910 wheats, 3 other newer...

    Kicked out of park

    Went hunting back at the site of my last post on the small town park with my brother. Found some older wheaties but nothing too exciting. On the way home we stopped at another small town park that used to have an old school next to it. Really wasn't finding much but after about 20 minutes of...

    Small town park

    Took to a small town park today in Western Iowa. Town was founded in 1854 so I was hoping to finally get that first seated or large cent. That didn't happen but did round up a 1906 Barber Dime, 43 Merc, 2 Indians (1901 and 1907), two tokens and a 1905 V nickel. All targets came in very...

    To the metal detectorist in Omaha who......

    To the person who hunted Bowling Green park in Omaha either Saturday the 15th or early on the 16th please pay attention to this. If you are a beginner to this hobby please contact me through this post. You absolutely tore up that park with your digging. Your holes were way to big, you barely...

    Best Day Ever

    Went to a park today about an hour from Omaha. Figured this park had to have been hit, but maybe not. Had a 7 silver day. Dates from1918-1964. 4 Mercs and 3 Rosies. Also pulled up 15 wheats and a silver ring. First 7 silver day ever and I only got through about half the park because I was...

    End of drought

    Well, the drought ended today. Not the lack of rain drought, but the silver drought. Went to an old Western Iowa park for 2 hours. Pulled up a 1916 Barber dime at 4" ans a 1890 Indian at about same depth. Hard ground has cost me about 4" on AT Pro, but still pulling stuff around 6". Really...

    And crazier and crazier

    [attachment 235091 Hard-Rock-LVnv-20050300-Casino-Palms-View-10-G-9LI.jpg]Posted earlier this week about finding my third silver half of the year. Well tonite I went to a different local park and pulled up a Hard Rock Hotel Limited Edition 10 dollar gaming token. The outside part appears to be...

    Crazy year just got crazier

    Took an hour Tuesday night and went to a local park just three blocks from home. This park has been around since the 1920's and has been hunted a lot by me and others but I thought I would try an open area away from the main park. Never really hunted that part much although a few weeks ago I...
