    Annual Road Trip Finds

    Tony (Park Pirate) and I made our annual trip from Upstate NY to meet up with Jeff from Mass in Fall River Mass. Our Equinox detectors did not disappoint as we all came away with some keepers. I dug 2 Barber dimes and an indian head cent. Tony got a silver Roosie, a mercury dime and a pile of...

    1804 Draped bust half cent this morning.

    The old city park gives up a good one every now and then. Got lucky today with this 1804 half cent which I expected to be just another screw cap hitting at 24-25 on the Nox.

    Nox finds it's oldest coin this morning!

    Got lucky in the old city park with this nice 1804 Draped bust half cent. Been 33 years since I last dug one.

    My first Equinox 800 silver

    Picked up a new Nox 800 about a week ago and after a couple outings to get used to it, I finally hit for some silver today. Nothing great but I'll take it. A 1939 mercury dime in an area Park Pirate and I have pounded. I'm simply amazed at the recovery time between targets. A real game changer.

    My first Equinox 800 silver

    After many, many years of Minelab Explorer Se Pro use, I bought a new Equinox 800 about a week ago. Took it out a couple times and dug a bunch of clad and a few wheat cents. Got lucky today with a 1939 mercury dime in a spot many of us have pounded. Tony (Park Pirate) also scored a couple...

    Beautiful 1914 Barber dime and indian head cent #1006

    Hit a " hunted out " park in down town Albany and came away with a couple of keepers. Dug this gorgeous 1914 Barber dime in the same hole as a 1905 indian head cent. The last Barber dime I dug in this park was in 1992 so its been a few years ! The indian head cent was career #1006. They have...

    Dug a gorgeous 1914 Barber dime

    Got out for a quick hunt at a downtown Albany park that has been hunted to death and pulled a beautiful 1914 Barber dime and a 1905 Indian head cent out of the same hole. This one is in my top ten Barber dimes dug list. Just a quick water rinse and she shines like the day she was minted.

    The old Explorer still amazes me.

    Dug this nice 1914 Barber quarter in a pounded area. The only reason this quarter was still in the ground was because of a 3" x 3" chunk of iron in the bottom of the hole. When digging the quarter was in the side of the hole about 3" above the iron. The trusty old Explorer sniffed it out though.

    SE Pro pulled some good ones this morning.

    While the city was "quiet" this morning, hit one downtown park while things were still peaceful. Saw the Mayor and Police Chief giving a news conference on City Hall Steps while I was detecting. Managed to dig a worn Draped Bust large cent, 1892 indian head cent, 1941 Mercury dime, 1955 Wheat...

    This morning's finds

    Met up with my buddy Park Pirate at one of Albany's finest city parks and came away with a few keepers. A worn Draped Bust large cent (1796-1807), 1892 indian head cent, 1941 mercury dime, 1955 wheat cent, Schenectady Railway school token and a small buckle. Not bad for a park I thought was...

    Indian head cents #999 and 1,000 dug yesterday.

    Thanks to my trusty Explorer SE Pro I was able to dig indian head cents #999 and 1,000 yesterday. Those last two took a while to find. Hit a park in the shadow of the NY State Capital Building that really hasn't produced many old coins in the last 15 years. Both cents were deep and masked by...

    Indian head cents #999 and 1,000

    Hit a spot in the shade of the NY State Capital building yesterday morning hoping to find those elusive two final indian head cents to reach the 1,000 mark. First good target was a very deep 1909 wheat cent. A while later I get a very mixed hit but it was nice and deep so I dug it. It was a 1898...

    Dug Indian Head cent #998 today. Two more to go to hit 1,000

    Dug Indian head cent #998 today. Just two more to go to hit the 1,000 milestone! Today's lone find was a nice 1860 fattie. First target I dug after stepping out of my truck. Parks have been very busy and all the rain has left the grass very high and difficult to detect in.

    Indian Head cent #998 on the way to 1,000

    Dug Indian head cent #998 today. Just two more to go to hit the 1,000 milestone! Today's lone find was a nice 1860 fattie. First target I dug after stepping out of my truck. Parks have been very busy and all the rain has left the grass very high and difficult to detect in.

    Dug Indian Head cent #997 this afternoon.

    Just three more to go to reach the 1,000 mark in my 32+ years of metal detecting. They are getting harder and harder to find. In the good old days, I could dig 4-5 every outing. Now I'm lucky to find one every 3-4 times out. The trusty old Explorer SE Pro can still sniff them out though. This...

    Dug Indian Head Cent #997 Today.

    Dug a beautiful 1869 Indian Head cent to reach 997 total dug in my 32+ years of metal detecting. Just three to go to reach the 1,000 mark. Hopefully I'll get the final three in the next couple days. Don't find as many as I did back in the good old days !

    Indian head cents # 991 and 992. Count down to 1,000

    Dug two Indian head cents today ( 1883 & 1908 ) to bring my total dug over 32 years to 992. I've dug every coin in the series except the key date 1877 and the 1908 and 1909 San Francisco minted coins. Hopefully I didn't jinx myself and I'll get those last 8 coins to hit 1000.

    Old explorer still hitting on those old coins

    Parks are thawed and ready to go so off to one of my favorites today. A quick hunt netted me an 1864 two cent piece, 1870 indian head cent, worn shield nickel and a wheat cent. Great start to the detecting season.

    Some early season finds

    Parks have thawed enough to dig so out I went for out for a quick 90 minute hunt today. In the same area where I dug four 1864 two cent pieces last year, lightning struck again when I dug another 1864 two cent piece. When I stuck the probe back in the hole, I got another good hit and pulled out...

    Three more IHPs and a nice button

    Back to the same old city park yesterday and came away with 1884-1893 and 1907 Indian head cents, one wheatie and a nice post civil war general staff cuff button. Hopefully the weather will hold out over the weekend so I can get another hunt in.
