    Slow day Sunday ended up a Sweet day of hunting :happy:

    Went out for a 3 hour hunt at old faithful and it started out very slow. It was so slow that I dug targets that I knew were probably junk, just to dig. After about an hour and a half, I finally received an iffy one way 12-40 to 12-44 at 8". I was more than happy to dig and pulled the 1952 D...

    3 hour windy hunt

    Set the Honey Do aside today, "wife was thrilled" :ranting:and hit our local Central Park for three hours. I concentrated in areas that we've hit alot but not as much as other areas as the buried high voltage lines make md'ing very hard. I ran in TTF and swung real slow with deep off. It seems...

    Last hunt in local park for 2011, "maybe!!!" :shrug:

    Had about three hours to burn last Sunday at old faithful and chose a section that I have pounded pretty hard. I kept the swing real slow, tight to the ground and investigated the smallest of small signals.I found that with the small quick hits if you work it hard enough " round and around " it...

    Didn't have much time to post this sooner, but here are a few finds from my local park "old faithful". The 1890-V is worn pretty smooth as is the 1919-Buff. The 1917-Merc Was laying on top of a large square nail and had a piece of hinge on top of it. The E was awesome at weeding it out, took...

    If only I could do it again :rant: :rage: :ranting:

    Had about an hour and a half to burn, so I went back to old faithful and she had more to offer. Unfortunately after digging several iffy signals, I hit what was a solid 12-44. I Put the E into pinpoint and the area was littered with junk and several 12-43/44 hits. I'm relating the hits to the...

    "UNREAL" Old park still givin it up.

    I haven't had much time to hunt this year, but any time I visit my local Central Park it always has something to offer. We have worked this park for three years now and hard at that. I took the advice from all of you who believe in changing the way you grid and to my surprise, I'm getting new...

    Slow is the key :detecting:

    Hit the old park again with low expectations and was blessed with three more nice finds. Slowing to a creeper speed in TTF seems to pull those buried treasures from the iron riddled soil. The 1887 V is worn smooth, "still love it" The 1907 IH looks as if was lost the day after it was minted and...

    Craft fair gone :clapping: :detecting:

    Key Date Buffalo :thumbdown:,V-Nickle and Copper

    Unfortunately after cleaning my 1918 buffalo the 7 under the 8 disappeared :cry:. Thank you Reltobert for the tip on cleaning, very pleased with the results and was very simple to perform. The 1911 V cleaned up nice as well. The two Merc's are from same day, just different area. Yesterdays hunt...

    V-nickles and possible key buffalo

    Wednesday I hunted my old park for about 2hrs and came across a deep 11-14, 11-15 and an occasional 12-14,15. After 7 1/2" I finally pulled out a 1911 V-nickle and was proud as a peacock as I figured the park was clean. After admiring my V, I checked the hole again and received another sweet...

    Father in law and I hit the old park that we've been hunting for two years and she seems to be drying up. Its only about a 2 1/2- 3 acre park and I figured this day would come. I'm not running anything hot with program, is there any tweaking I can do to rejuvenate this park? Still had a great...

    " HELP with COIN"

    I was able to hunt for a couple of hours today after work and to my surprise my wife showed up. As she was pulling up, I kept looking for the police cruiser/ officer that might be serving me papers. JK:punch:, just odd. She was very chipper and seemed to show some interest and was very...

    HELP WITH BUTTON

    Hunted local park that in the early 1800's was a cemetary and dug this beautiful button from 8". I see several civil war buttons posted and wouldn't know one if I held it. What do I look for if I were to tell a war button from a cosmetic button? This one has Horstmann Phila. on the back. Very...
