    Found some silver yesterday

    Got out to do some metal detecting yesterday afternoon. Found a sterling silver sun and heart in a nearby town park. The heart was my first find of the day and the sun was a surface find in an area loaded with pennies from the 1970's. I've found four sterling silver items this year but no...

    Silver for the past few months

    Had some good luck this fall. Got out so several sites that have been hunted by many others in the past. One current school, one elementary school that closed in the mind 1950's and a few parks. Got a few of these, including the half dollar using the program I got from Andy Sabisch at the...

    Got two Barbers, and Indian and an Elks badge yesterday

    Went out to search a friend's yard again yesterday and turned up a few nice finds. Barber Quarter is a 1909-D in F-12 condition except for that scratch I added to the bottom reverse. :cry: Barber Dime is a 1905 in EF-40 condition. A really nice looking dime even though there's a scratch on...

    Finds from Sunday afternoon

    Found these today along with some toy cars and 63 cents. Glad I got out hunting for a while even though it was pretty hot this afternoon. The Barber Half Dollar is and 1892-S. Don't know how old the Army Artillery collar brass is, probably from WW1 or WW2.

    Mother's ring

    Found a nice mother's ring today. Gold 10K in excellent condition. I was searching a friend's front yard this afternoon and found this about four inches deep. She has three sons, so I hope I can return it and maybe get a few more yards to search as well. Also found a 1903 Indian Cent...

    New site gives up old silver

    . I found a few new sites over the last few weeks since my old sites have stopped producing old coins for me. Yesterday I went to a small park and used the stock coil to find $1.59 in clad and memorial cents, several buried soda cans and the usual pull tabs. Most of the targets ranged...

    Fall finds at a local park

    I'd thought that this park was just about out of silver until I tried a different area this fall. The ground looks uneven in places and the grass is thin in spots. I think that's because this area didn't get the fill dirt and landscaping that the other areas did. My reasoning seems to have...

    Weekend finds

    Went out for a few hours to hunt an overgrown baseball field and the nearby forest. Found about $4.00 in clad and pennies along with two silver Roosevelt dimes, 1953-D and 1961-D. Found a 3 Merry Widows cap in the forest next to a creek that flows through town. Too hot today so I'm going to...

    Alloy question

    I was just contacted by a guy who lost his wedding ring in his yard while raking leaves last fall. I figured that it would be pretty easy to find since it was lost recently and the weather here in Western New York has been pretty mild this winter. The problem is that he says the ring was an...

    Big sterling medallion :shocked:

    Got out on Wednesday afternoon for a few hours at a local church yard I've been working on for the last few weeks. I had high hopes of finding some nice coins at this church because it sits next to the town square in a village founded in the early 1800's. It looks like someone may have beat me...

    Western States pin

    Got out for a few hours this afternoon and found a few more Indian Head cents at a local park, 1881, 1906 and 1908. Also found a pennant-shaped pin that says "Western States". I became interested in early Great Lakes ships several years ago and recognized the name. After a little searching...

    90 minute forest hunt

    I was able to get out for a short hunt after work today. Went back to an overgrown section of a local park that I've been working on all summer. Found just two coins, both about four inches down in hard, clay-based dirt. The dime turned out to be a 1901-S in G-4 condition. Well worn and off...

    Quarter and dime from hunted site.

    Went out this morning to a site I've been working on the last few weeks. I had gotten about a dozen memorial cents and a few dimes and decided to try what would have been the front yard when the house was still standing. I'd already been over the area a few times but this time tried moving...

    Two afternoons in a nice old yard

    Got out on Monday afternoon and today for a few hunts in a yard I just got permission to search. The house was torn down several years ago and the lot is in an older section of town so I've been hoping to find some older silver. I got a good quarter signal, 00-29 at 6 inches on the Explorer II...

    1893 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar

    Got out for a few hours today and decided to try a forested area beside a small creek that flows through a local park. After a short hike through the woods I started finding a few wheat cents and a modern dime. The wheats looked old and crusty but three of them turned out to be 1944 and the...

    Got lucky at a local park

    Went out to a park that I haven't tried before. Got two really nice Indian Head cents, 1889 and 1903, and a 1911-D Barber Dime yesterday afternoon. I went back today and found a 1942 quarter at about 7". The dirt at this park seems different that what I'm used to around here. The Indians are...

    1825 British Shilling found this morning

    I got out for a few hours this morning to hunt in a local park. I crossed a small creek and was hunting an overgrown path that runs along the creek bank. First coin found was a 1916-S wheat cent near an old tree stump. Further up the path I got short, repeating 1-29 signal on the Explorer II...

    Church Picnic finds

    Went to my church picnic this morning. We had some heavy rain, but it stopped just before the picnic started. A friend and I did a few hours of forest hunting after lunch. I stumbled across a good spot and found 1920 and 1942 Mercury dimes within a few feet of each other. In between the two...

    Help! Button ID

    I found this button yesterday in a friend's yard. I think it may be British Infantry but I don't know much about buttons aside from what I've read on Findmall and in magazines. The backmark says "SUPERFINE STRONG LONDON". I tried finding it online last night but didn't see one like it. Mark
