    Great hunt yesterday!

    I decided to try a school grounds now that football season is about over here... quite the day. The Kennedy half was laying right on top of the ground in plain view... matter of fact, I first thought it was a foil seal for a juice bottle..LOL Last time I tried there over a month ago, I did well...

    Heel Plate?

    I found this today while searching an area that was a farm from the 1870's until around 1920 when the house caught fire and partially burned down. After that, the city got the land and built a golf course there around 1938 and it was closed a few years ago and converted to a park. This looks...

    Coinstar finds today....

    After a long dry spell of checking the Coinstars, I finally scored today finding a 1964 dime and a '44 wheat penny. Silver is silver in my book, even if it comes out of a machine! LOL

    Need ID help on these finds....

    I found some of these a few years ago and found another one yesterday at the same location. I think I posted them before, but can't recall if anyone told me what they were. Basically they are hollow, but have some residue in them. I do not see any rifling marks on them at all. Thanks in advance...

    I need some help on this bayonet....

    First off.... I did not find this and do not know any history about it other than a guy I know found it while removing some items from a shed to take to the dump. I have tried to look up some and many are similar in looks and dimensions to this one, but some similar to it have a U. S. stamp on...

    Short hunt yields two half dollars!

    I went to watch my great nephew play baseball this morning and got a late start but ended up having a great day! I stopped at an old school for about an hour and found the clad half near the building, but on a side that has no doors or other access, so maybe this area was overlooked because of...

    I had a fun outing today....

    I have not been out much after getting back from my beach trip other than a couple quick hunts. Today after a few days of rain, I decided to try a new location and it turned out pretty good for me. I finally found my first dollar coin for the year, got a good count of quarters, and scored a nice...

    Back from my annual beach trip....

    I just got back from Virginia Beach and the conditions were terrible Monday and Tuesday, but got better Wednesday and Thursday. Winds up to 30 mph made it tough to hear and detect, but I stuck it out and brought back a few coins. One morning I only found 2 quarters, but happened to search and...

    Finds from the river today....

    After a very short period of cool weather, It got hot and humid again, but the river cleared up and has dropped some, so I decided to give it a try again. This is only my third trip this year as the water has been too high due to lots of rain. I got a nice count of quarters along with a few lead...

    Lake finds today....

    This is probably my last lake hunt for the year and probably me best day. Not much to be found this year, but you never know what that next beep will be. I found this pendant and it read low on my XTP like in the nickel range. It is quite heavy for the size and it is 5mm thick in the center and...

    River finds today....

    The water finally dropped enough in a local river for me to detect some today... with temperatures in the mid 90's and the water temperature around 90, it was not very refreshing, but keeping wet helped me stick it out for about 4 hours before calling it a day. I would have never lasted that...

    Todays heartbreaker find...

    My buddy and I went water detecting for a while today and early into the hunt, I got a nickel range signal on my XTP. I scoop up the target and looked in the scoop and saw a ring. Looked like white gold and with the TID reading, I thought surely I had a gold band... until I reached in the scoop...

    Couple nice finds yesterday..

    I went to a local school and searched around the sports field yesterday. I ended up with 60 quarters and these two silver rings. I wish i had kept count of how many quarters I have found at this school since I first started detecting there a couple years ago, but would guess around at least 400...

    Iffy target yesterday

    While searching in an area where I found 5 silver dimes in about 20 minutes a few years ago, I got an iffy signal that sounded like something decent from one angle, but very crappy from another angle, I dug where I thought the target was giving the best signal and found this Mercury dime.. I...

    Found one coin and crossed two bucket listers off....

    I searched around an old house site today that I have been to a few times and it has given up to decent finds. While searching near the site, I got a nice smooth 23/24 on my 800. I dug plug and in the loose dirt in the hole, I found the Seated dime, and discovered it is a love token!! I have...

    A little unusual post…

    I thought maybe others would enjoy seeing this. While driving home the other night i caught a glance of something crossing in front of me just before I heard a thump. I went a short distance and turned around to see what it was and found this little screech owl laying on the road apparently...

    yearend totals....

    I counted and rolled my coins from last year today while it was cold and windy out. I was able to get out every day since Christmas day except for one day and finished one last hunt yesterday. In addition to what is shown, I also found a nice gold ring, and several silver rings along with my...

    Cold outing today....

    I decided to brave the cold today as the forecast for tomorrow is even worse.. cold and mixed precipitation.... Mostly been looking for clad the last several months trying to get my last jar full before the year ends and it has been too dry to dig deep. I started out looking for clad today and...
