    Liberated Liberty Duo

    Howdy, I got out tonight following a couple days of rain. The mosquitoes are out too, I might add. Rather than try to find new ground, I opted to hit a place I'd had some success at last year, but try it with the Excelerator coil this time. I thought maybe the extra rain would help bring out...

    It's a good day when the Indian Head is worth more than the Barber dime

    Howdy, Well, I was on a silver drought for most of May. Tried probably a dozen 'new' sites across six hunts to scare up some older coinage. Got 15 consecutive lonely Wheats with no silver, and even those were hard scrabble - very slim pickings among the modern stuff, even at some decent...

    Glad you guys are finding stuff! One old token...

    Howdy, Well, hunts six and seven were a bust over the last couple weeks. I tried out a few new (to me) places, seeing if there were targets and age. Only had a couple Wheats (and hard fought at that). We've been pretty pinned down with weather around here - lots of rain during available...

    O Barber

    Howdy, I got out for my fifth hunt of the season this evening. It was a short hunt, but I tried to squeeze the last drops of daylight out of it. Headed back to where I had left off, staying with the Excelerator coil still and now just listening to to try and catch some high chirps in a...

    4th hunt leads to tasty Bar-ber-Q

    Howdy, I managed to dodge some weather and get out for the fourth outing of the season. Had a slow start, with the first couple hours producing four wheats or so. I was still using the Excelerator coil this time out, going back over previously hunted spots, trying to squeak out a few more...

    3rd hunt of the season - keeping it alive

    Howdy, I got out for two more hours today in cold, gusty winds to get my third hunt of the season. Stayed with the Excelerator coil again, and went back to the same old spot I've been poking at. And found a bit more, but nothing too exciting. It was hard concentrating on signals with the...

    First Indians of the season...and more

    Howdy, I got out yesterday for my second hunt of the season. Stayed with the small Excelerator coil and just re-worked some areas I've been over many times before with the 6x8 SEF. I suppose things could shift a bit due to the freezing/thawing, but I think the smaller coil is really helping...

    Finally got out this year after a long, long Winter

    Howdy again, Did I mention that Winter was long? Long enough to run into Tax season, April snow, and other assorted barriers. But no more! Got out today for the inagural dance with the dirt. I also tried out a small Excelerater DD coil in a spot that I worked several times last year. I...

    Still hibernating....

    Howdy, I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks as Winter has settled in and my attentions are elsewhere. I did take time to fully dismantle and clean my SE, coils, and assorted equipment. Heck, I even sent the drop cloths through the wash. Now that's Winter. I did manage to tumble my...

    Last Hurrah of Season Nets Barber

    Howdy, Well, been shut down here for nearly the last three weeks following ten inches of snow, cold temps, and some freezing rain here and there. Last year I was able to hunt right until the end of November, when the ground finally froze, but we didn't have any snow. This year it was kind of...

    Uh-oh...

    6"-10" of snow due tomorrow. Bummer. The Fat Lady is clearing her throat for the season I think.

    Deja Vu Hunt: Barber, Roosie - where's the Merc still???

    Howdy, I went back to an area I tried a couple weeks ago, not the same location but close by. Last time I found a '49-D Roosie and a 1900 Barber. This time I found a 1907 Barber and a '48-D Roosie. Couldn't bag a Merc either time! This time I found the Barber first near the base of a tree...

    Sure glad it wasn't a 1914-D for once!

    Howdy, All I could manage to find were Wheats on my last hunt. I revisited the site that has been producing for me, and this time it gave up ten Wheats and nothing more. But that did bring the total of old coins found there to 146 (since September). The Wheats were all 40's-50's though...

    November off to a good start

    Howdy, With the cooler fall weather here, I wanted to check a couple places in a wooded setting (no bugs, and the underbrush is mostly gone). Had a little bit of luck and found some age, but not in the metal I was hoping for... Got a couple newer Wheats too (not shown). I was happy to find...

    Barber - check. Roosie - check. Hey - where's the Merc??

    Howdy, Got out today for some lovely sunshine and leaves on the ground. Rather than returning to my old standby site, I again ventured off in search of new ground. As I tried a spot, I tried to get a couple coin signals to sample age and depth. First couple spots produced Memorials at 8...

    Another couple Indians for the tribe - and a silver chaser

    Howdy, I figured why mess with a good thing, so went back to the site that's been producing for me. Good signals are getting harder to find. Now it's a balance of moving slowly enough to sniff out the masked targets, but quickly enough to cover enough ground to find something. Got a Wheat...

    Ah, that's more like it - old faithful still delivers...

    Howdy, Still smarting a bit after hitting many new sites over the weekend with no new promising ground to show for it, I opted to return to the site that has produced the most for me this season. And it didn't disappoint this time either. First two hits were Wheats right away, then things got...

    Masked Merc

    Howdy, Well, I thought I'd venture out and try to find some new sites over the weekend. The drive to the same site I'd been hunting was getting kinda long, and thought I'd give it a break. Probably not a wise choice, as I ended up driving more in the long run I think. Tried probably half a...

    Pinch me - found my first dated SLQ!

    Howdy, Stopped by a new site today because I was in the cities. First signal was a Merc, so I figured I'd hang around to check it out more thoroughly. Got a couple nice teens Wheats, a VFW Encampment medal (posted more detail separately), and last signal of the day was a Standing Liberty...

    Ninth Annual VFW Aux Encampment Austin Minn 1928 medal

    Howdy, Found this today at a new site I tried (also found some other goodies I'll post separately). I can't find any info on this event online, so might have to make a road trip to Austin to check out the newspaper on microfilm there. Kinda neat to have the date, location, and event to go...
