    Some possibly naive questions.........

    If so many folks are coin shooters, and so many of them want silver/copper coins............. Why do the major detector companies not make machines dedicated to this focus ? Like a 3 kHz machine or whatever. Companies need to cover as much market share as possible, so the machines need to be...

    End of the year bits that didn't get posted

    The folded 1924 Good for one Loaf of Bread token was a mixed joy to dig. I saw a passing reference to this bakery token and went to the old bakery site, it was now an urban plant garden by the city and inaccessible. But low and behold about two blocks away in an empty lot, bingo. I was so happy...

    Crazy winter weather got me out for first swing of year

    Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would swing out here in January. But it got a few degrees above zero yesterday, and I had some time. First up was a tot lot and my first find of the year, a clad quarter. I always look for old garbage along the creek bank as an indicator of...

    My first water gold ?

    This water hunting is fun after all, who knew !, lol. My first water hunt with the AT Pro and new scoop gave me two rings, the next hunt, one ring, now my third hunt may have given me possible gold. This time I ran the iron disc up to 40 and shut off iron audio, I believe. I don't know, I'm...

    I found a cool badge/key fob ? today and H.P. isn't removing the mineral deposits. My dilemma is how to do this without removing the patina. Any tips are appreciated, thanks.

    Yesterdays water hunt and accumulated crapulance

    I went about five hours hard core in the water yesterday. It is a small area and the finds already seem to be getting fewer. But then I barely know what I'm doing still, so I'm not that worried. Gold has still eluded me but I'm having fun, and with a little luck maybe a sparkly will show up in...

    My first water scoop digs

    I had a blast water detecting ! Who knew?, well most of you already did I'm sure, lol. The rings are costume I believe. And G.od strike me dead if I lie, my first dug signal was a ring !, the little pearl jobbie. It came in high around 80-81 and was shallow. I never went much deeper than crotch...

    Some keepers

    I have been trying, but the keepers are few and far between this year. I am grateful however for finally getting a scruffy fish scale and a large cent. I have never missed that combo since I started the hobby and it feels like some kind of tradition to me. I am starting to keep junk spoons if...

    RTG 710 scoop ?

    I am considering a water scoop for the heck of it. The RTG 710 looks reasonably priced. Any comments on this scoop ?

    Last couple of digs

    More silver dimes, seems to be the only silver that wants to pop up for me lately. The watch is neat. Swiss made, looks like it was a nice one back in the day.

    Last digs

    I got out 3-4 times in the last couple of weeks. No whoop de dooz but I got a few keepers. I found my first tick on me a few days ago, grrrrrrr ! Man I do not like (fear) ticks. The creek was temporarily drawn down, so I decided to walk in ankle deep mud. Decided to check a small spot off of...

    Got out Weds. and Thurs.

    I got some fun time in this past Wed. and Thurs. No earth shakers but I did glom a silver ring and quarter. My copper was a 34 Wheat. And any copper from the 20's or 30's starts to catch my interest.

    Last weeks scratchings

    I was able to get into some ground around tree roots last week. One neat copper was a roached 1918 Wheat. I found a munched mystery ring with internal stampings C.Co. (then some stamping or backward C with a dot in the center ?), below that what looks like Ster 128 ? This whole weird obtuse...

    First swing of the year

    Good day gentlemen. The weather here has been VERY unusual and I was able to make a few recoveries. I was quite lucky in that my first swing also brought my first silver of the year. [URL=http://s1181.photobucket.com/user/kabarbecker/media/IMG_7224_zps50a74bed.jpg.html][/URL]

    Seasons greetings to you all

    The wife and I did a Secret Santa for a couple of young girls and their mother. The Salvation Army asked if we could deliver it, as they signed up and knew that it was coming anyway. The girls were so excited that I had to turn my head. Kinda choked me up. :blush: I wish you all a merry season...

    Switching interests seasonally

    The warden says that she wants to do some ice fishing this winter. So we were farting around yesterday and I did a quick check on the ice. I am just learning how to do youtube videos so we did some of that for practice. The vids are nothing special but they will help me up the learning curve to...

    My last bits ?

    I went through the colander o' crud and found this stuff. There may be more in the heap, who knows. The little ring was a surprise as it was mashed and when pulled open, 14k, you never know I suppose. Ya, the pics are scruffy, sorry.

    Unknown shot shells

    Has anyone seen this shell before ?, as I sure haven't. The base is iron and the thin rolled brass casing is very different. I have found the much thicker full brass Winchester cases before, and a few huge 4 gauge market gun cases, but these are a first. The base looks to be 16 or 20 gauge. I...
