    Finds from the last month

    I haven't posted finds for a month, but I have still been getting out every weekend with a few after work evening hunts thrown in. The finds were accumulated from several hunts, which included a few schools, an old lake park picnic spot right in town that I "rediscovered" with the SE, and a few...

    finds from 1st two weekends in June

    Posted this yesterday & then realized this morning I posted it in the "Classroom" (wrong) forum. Finally posting the finds from the first two weekends this month & we are almost at the third. Sat. the 6th went to a school I had been to before & managed to find two Mercs ('17s & '24) along with...

    Finally posting the finds from the first two weekends this month & we are almost at the third. Sat. the 6th went to a school I had been to before & managed to find two Mercs ('17s & '24) along with 3 wheats. Also found some sort of pin from an old school rifle club I am guessing. Also found...

    finds from Memorial Day weekend & last weekend

    Finally getting around to posting the last two weekends of finds. It goes back to Sat. the 23rd when I met Bryce, Phil & Nick in St. Louis & we ended up going to a smaller park in South City. Stayed there & hunted a good 4+ hours or so. Didn't find much but I did get lucky with the '27 Mercury...

    Some finds from the last two weeks

    All the finds are from two weekends worth + a couple of weekday evening hunts after work. Sat. the 9th I started at an elementary school grounds part of which used to be an old fairgrounds dating back to the 1850s. Never had found much there before & didn't this time. But I did get the '04...

    few finds last weekend (not quite like the previous one)

    I went out again both days last weekend & made a few good finds but not as many as the weekend before. Saturday morning I ended up at the ballfield where I found the barber dime & two mercs the Sunday before. Started hunting in the outfield. The field was really wet, almost too wet to detect &...

    10 Silvers this weekend

    Spent nearly all day both Saturday & Sunday searching as this was the first weekend in a while where it didn't rain or threaten to rain both days. Sat. morning got over to the former fish hatchery place where I had been 3 weeks ago & searched from about 6:30 until almost 1:00. Managed to get the...

    finds from Saturday

    Saturday I went to a park that was originally a fish hatchery. It still has a couple of ponds in it, one of which can be fished. Spent most of the time near a parking area between a restroom & picnic shelter building. Started out finding only clad for quite a while, but finally I found a wheat...

    Sunday informal group hunt finds

    The club I belong to has an informal group hunt at an area park on the Sunday following our monthly meeting. Got there somewhat early & decided to concentrate on one of the ball fields where silver coins had been found before. Found the small silver ring right off (about 6" deep off to the left...

    Tried a few places last weekend

    I used vacation days last Fri. & Mon. to stretch my weekend into a four day weekend. Decided to go back & visit mom & dad as I hadn't been back since Christmas. Friday afternoon I hit the village hall in the town where they live (had found a couple mercs & some wheats there before) but didn't...

    Revisited wooded site from a month ago

    On Saturday, Roger (a friend who I often hunt with) & I went back to the woods where I did fairly well last month. We tried some of the same spots along the trail where I had success & ended up concentrating in one area where most of the coins seemed to be. I ended up finding two Roosevelts (a...

    Sunday trip to woods turns out ok

    Since it warmed up & melted off all the snow I decided to try & venture out. I only have been out twice since the end of last November. Even though Saturday was the warmer of the two, I decided to go Sunday instead, using Saturday as a melt/thaw day since I wasn't sure what the ground would be...

    long overdue finds post

    Haven't posted any finds on here in a couple of months at least. Have been active the most of the time, getting out most weekends. Have had some success here & there but also have had several hunts that were disappointments where I left with nothing old at all or left with no silver & maybe only...

    Finds from last Saturday

    I had just recently received the new Pro coil for my SE & decided to go back to a school where I have had success finding old stuff the past 2-3 years or so. Searched almost 8 hours & didn't do too bad. Ended up finding 4 silver dimes - 2 mercs (1929 & 1943) & 2 Rosies (1946 & 1956). Also found...

    Second Half (Barber)

    Went out Saturday morning to a park that wasn't too far away. Chose to go there because of the forecast of storms in the afternoon & didn't want to venture out further only to have the hunting time cut short by rain. Ended up finding 4 wheats or so & the coin from Spain which sounded much like...

    A great day in between two subpar days

    I didn't have any plans to go to any holiday festivities or any parties so I ended up detecting all three days. Friday wasn't anything to brag about. Tried a couple of schools not too far away that were built in the early 50's hoping I could score a couple of later silvers but failed. Found one...

    Great Saturday!... :super: Sunday, not so hot: sad:

    I'd called a friend of mine earlier last week to see if he wanted to get a couple of hours hunting somewhere nearby after work. He said that he couldn't that night (busy) but asked me if I wanted to go to hunt a boy scout camp Saturday. I said of course! It turns out one of his sons is the head...

    last weekend

    Spent quite a few hours out in the hot sun both Saturday & Sunday. Not much good stuff to show for it, but at least it is better than nothing. The medal is kind of interesting. Also found was about $15 in clad & 11 wheat cents. It all came from a combination of three school fields.

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Long time lurker. First time poster. I'm not new to detecting. I have been doing it a few years or so. Hopefully I'll have a few finds worth posting on here in the not too distant future. Take care & HH, Dan.
