    Lucky Last Minutes

    We had our monthly club hunt last Sunday at a local old hunted out ghetto park. I hunted for maybe 5 hours with no luck. I wanted to work my way over to a pavillion, but had to wait until a couple finished some marathon business. Anyway, I was able to hunt this area for not quite an hour and...

    Slim Pickens and his brother Thin Pickens

    This represents about 12 hours of detecting over the last week. The digital picture has alot to be desired. The 1903 Indian cent and Missouri sales tax receipt came out of the ground in better shape than after I cleaned them :ranting:

    10 Hours Worth :twodetecting:

    A couple hours Friday evening and most the day Saturday finally paid off. Have been in a dry spell lately. Found these in an old ghetto St. Louis park park in heavy trash around an old tree I've named the "poop tree" because there must have been three dozen piles of dog do do all around it . Had...

    Not Much, But Had Fun!!!

    I hunted Saturday for about four hours or so and today for an hour before I got thunderstormed out. It sure is nice to get a little rain around here. Only one silver, but the Indian was a nice surprise. [attachment 72861 Monday.JPG]

    Some Keepers.....

    I found most of this within 10 feet of old stump area that I remembered in one of our old ghetto parks. I had previously hunted this area to death with my standard coil. This little six inch coil sure does get my vote. Too bad I don't have the energy to go at it again tomorrow. The walker is...

    My Holiday Weekend

    Better than barbecuing or cutting the grass I guess... [attachment 70195 Today.gif]

    Findmall Weekend!!!!

    To think I almost decided to stay at home and cut the grass and do "honey do's" instead of attending. Wow, what a great weekend! I got to meet some of you here on the forum, and that was worth the price of admission alone. What a great group of people. Getting some personal one-on-one attention...

    Uncle - Uncle

    I give up till we get some rain and it cools down here. With 95+ degree heat, ground as concrete, and two quarts of Gadorade gone, so was I. Was lucky to find these at 6 or less inches in the sun baked arid ground. HH all. [attachment 65033 HOT.gif]

    A Nice Weekend

    I got out for a few hours this morning and enjoyed myself until the heat made ne quit. Got a couple of semi-key date wheaties in fair shape (1911-D & 1912-D). Glad I dug the 1902 worn Barber quarter. It screamed clad quarter and it was only four inches deep, almost let it pass. I try to avoid...

    Finally, It Happened...

    [attachment 61486 seatedfront.jpg]I have been metal detecting for a long time in search of my first seated coin... Well guys, today it happened, and it is a beautiful coin too boot! It sounded like it could be silver. The depth meter said it was about eight inches deep so I dug it. Turns out it...

    Coils, Metal Detectors and Field Tests?

    I read the metal detecting magazines for the latest and greatest equipment and components just like you probably do. As a matter of fact, I have a big stack of them I have saved over the years. I was just wondering, has anyone ever read a field report in anything that disparaged a coil or metal...

    Platypus Coil

    Greetings All, I was reading a post asking about the Platypus coil and why there's not much hoopulah on the coil. I'm restricted on time but I finally got out for the first time this spring last Saturday for just two hours. I found half a dozen wheat cents, 2 Mercury dimes (1942 & 1945). Coils...

    00-26 Digital Silver - Very Shallow

    I believe you can find shallow silver with an Explorer in the most unusual holes if you have a wife with intelligence like mine! My wife just informed me she made the last payment on our daughters braces and is going to demand she get the braces when they are removed, as a keep sake and reminder...

    Olympic Sports

    Does anyone follow the Olympic games every four years? With the exception of me, does anyone know all the ridiculous games that compete for gold, silver and bronze metals. Some are so far fetched, in my opinion, they belong in kindergarden. Just one example; I don't know the game, but a very...

    Technology SE

    Generally speaking, when I make a major financial upgrade purchase such as an automobile, washing machine or metal detector, I think of a few questions. 1. Does the new machine accelerate my task faster than the one I have? Will it get me to my goal faster (find deep/masked coins)? 2. Does the...

    Laboring Day

    The 1913 Barber dime has the full Liberty visable, wish it was a key date. The Standing Liberty quarter "naturally" is dateless. However, the Buffalo nickle has a date on it, 1924. The ground is still dry but not concrete hard. Waiting for fall and more rain. Coins shown after cleaned in a rock...

    Dear Santa Clause

    Hello Guys, Christmas is getting close. Just some ideas for stocking stuffers I have found to be very popular. It takes some time and material to put these together. Mostly I used (non-valuable) coins I found MD to make; coin rings, coin necklaces, coin earings and money clips. I bought the...

    The Long Hot Summer

    Hello Fellow Hunters, It has been so hot and the ground so dry, I have not been out since, I forgot when? We got a cool front and just a little rain, so I thought I would give it a shot. The ground here is still very dry, even with some rain. We are having a major drought. Anyway, with real dry...

    Probably Discussed Before

    I went on a mini-road trip this weekend to several old parks and struck out, with the exception of a few wheat cents. The soil was very, very dry, almost concrete about to set. The grass had a heavy dew on it, and after swinging my MD a few times, all kinds of falsing started to occur as the dew...

    A Tale of Two Old Parks

    I went to two different old parks this weekend and spent roughly five hours at each park. Saturday's wheat pennies and clad I cleaned in my rock tumbler over night. I can't get away from digging deep bullets, because you never know? I have dug Indian Heads that sound exactly the same. Going back...
