    Cleaned out the truck cab and found an Explorer arsenal

    I can still only use one at a time! It's amazing how much equipment can pile up over time.

    4/13 Old park IH's again 6X8 coil

    I didn't care for this coil at first, but it's the go-to for the trashy parks. I got a few keepers Sat morn, six wheats and a few doo-dads and minus a nail or peice of wire. I've hunted hard for a silver here, not one to be found! Directly across the street I've dug 25+ silver coins.

    Small tribe playing at the tot lot.

    I left the Etrac in the trunk and grabbed the Ex 2 with 6x8 sef. Hunted hard and slow outside the kiddie play area, in an older small, wooded park. The trashy area gave up a couple IH's, the soil kinder to one than the other...the coins were 5-6" deep, and there was no mistaking the tones, no...

    Etrac newbie - couple silvers but...

    I don't get the depth I was hoping for. I've getting silver (dimes) every other hunt, but they seem to be shallow, at five inches best. So, today I buried a crisp silver rosie at 8". Can't get the Etrac to bleep, air testing is good (10"). I'm using a coin program I found on the tube, sens set...

    First two hunts, both hunts silver

    I was weaned on an Explorer 2, so it helped my first times out last weekend...I just messed around with settings trying to get used to this new machine. I tried the stock coil, then switched to the 6x8. I've never dug many nails at all with the Ex 2, but it seems like the Etrac is a nail magnet...

    33 Shiny Stones on Heartbreak Lake

    Haven't posted for a while, heat's kept me from getting out. Temps are cooling down so I got out a few times this week. Mostly hunted a pounded county park. I don't dig many rings, but I found 2 in the lawn along the shoreline of the lake. Also a nice '37D Washington at about 7", surpised that...

    Cool old School

    THis one's been pounded, hit it for the first time and found one that made my day. Also unearthed six wheats there. Hope to go back some time, but will need some back up, as it's in a shady part of town.

    Wonderful 1870's farm house/cursed electric fence

    No, I didn't get zapped, but the emi messed me up on my coil swinging, although I did manage over a dozen wheats and a merc. I love detecting the old farmyards. This week I detected 2, and one 100+ y.o. home gave up newer lincolns at 6-7" deep and I skunked out. The rest of the wheats I dug at a...

    Never hunted out - back to back Mercs

    Early Sunday morn I went to the city 500+ acre park, in use since about 1900. THey had a zoo here in the early 1900's, complete with bears, elephant, monkey house, and local wildlife. A few months ago, I spoke to a group of 2 men and a woman dirtfishing an area that I'd always passed up. They...

    Vacation finds including an odd sterling ring, must see!

    Got out for a couple hunts and pounded the same ol spots. The highlight is the weird silver ring the was the first target that I dug lakeside. Tried knocking on a door, which was my specialty, but a junkyard dog drove me away! Oh well, there's tons of property out there to hit, as soon as I...

    Silver Pocket Spill

    Well, I guess that's what you'd call it. I got out this morning to an open field. I got a screaming silver hit, dug the plug, and I saw a silver rim sticking out of side of the hole. Hesitated for a little while trying to guess what it could be. Barber quarter! Filled the hole in, re-scanned...

    Fought the NEW mosquitos

    OMG These things are nasty! I went out Sunday morn and doused myself in OFF. I hunted a county park on the lake, at 9 am there were little kids and a couple brave souls on the beach. In 2 hours I dug 5 or 6 wheats and a silver quarter. In this same park I dug a sweet 2-cent and nice dated slq...

    8/3 Seated/Barbers/tokens/IH's new old ballfield!

    I invited my buddy to the new spot I've hogged twice, because I'd found it all. He cleaned up too with a Walker half, silver Wash, merc, IH's tokens, etc...it's absolutely amazing, what's left out there. And you've got a new ballfield in your backyard!

    Barber trio at the new ballfield

    I showed up at the new spot i tried a couple weeks back, but left early because of the heat. It wasn't much better heat -wise this morning. I hunted for an hour or so before I found the "sweet spot", which was a 50' X 100' area beyond third base. Wheat pennies were every other step, I dug 16 of...

    Hit Those Ballfields!

    I Google Earthed a new ballfield, looked good from the sky. Drove 35 miles to get there and thought NUTS it's new! Saw the "dedicated in 1978" plaque on a rock, and went in. Ninety degrees at 10 a.m. and I'm already drenched. I chisled the first signal at 4" and dug the '28 D Merc semi-key. My...

    My first Large Cent, in the county park

    Wow, haven't been out much, but this morning being father's day, I thought I'd indulge myself hoping for a piece of silver. I never expected a large copper and thought at first it was just a knock-out. I scored a silver too, with the Ex II / SEF 10". Tons of wheats and I found everything within...

    Mojo time! 8 silver day

    I hunted 2 parks today, the first one I hunted outside the box and scored 2 mercs and rosie. Second park I hunted within 20' of the newer restroom bldg and scored ring, 2 more mercs and 2 rosies. I usually run my setup hot because I don't want to miss any deep ones. In the second park, I also...
