    Haven’t posted in quite a bit. Finally got out.

    As everyone knows life happens and sometimes we all get busy etc. But, myself and my long time hunting buddy finally got out for a hunt today. Hard to believe it’s so nice and warm on Nov. 13th. We choose to hit a large property we have hunted several times prior as it’s been good to us. I did...

    The trusty SE never disappoints.

    Got out finally with my hunting buddy Bill. We hit an old home we got permission last year. It’s a large property and it seems there’s items everywhere. I had a good morning scoring a 1903, 1891 IH, 51 Roosie, some kind of Ohio scholastic pendant, a religious pendant, a Brave Cap Pistol in great...

    Can someone pass along some good settings they recommend for coin hunting (old silver and large coppers).

    My son has a Eqiunox 800. I’m an Explorer user with no hands on experience with his machine. I was hoping someone might have some recommendations on settings for coin hunting primarily old silver and old copper coins I can print and give to him. Thanks Findmall friends. 👍

    Also, fault on my SE Pro

    So, this is intermittent and happened today three times. No matter if I am using my rechargeable battery or the AA pack the detector will suddenly pop up the “Battery Flat“ fault then shut off even though the battery is full. Seems to be from my research related to the C6O5 big capacitor on the...

    First hunt for 2022. So glad to get out and hunt.

    Got out today (1st time 2022) with my long time hunting buddy today and found out I get out of shape in the winter. Anyhow, we garnered permission at an old home in a nearby local town. I believe we had hunted it one time many years ago under different owners. We where both so glad to get out...

    Got out again this afternoon to same place I found the Barber Quarter.

    Me and my buddy headed back to where we last hunted. It was much cooler then last hunt and as the day progressed it was misting. I dug about 5 wheats the oldest a 14 but, nicest greenie was the 16S pictured. I also got a 02 IH and a 40 Merc. My hunting buddy had a dry spell on silver lately but...

    I’m blessing change of ownership.

    Got out with my hunting buddy to a local nearby town. We stopped at a house we had asked permission last about three years ago and was told no once again. When we pulled up today just to try again there where new owners and we where given permission. This is a large property of about 5 acres and...

    Got out from 5-7pm tonight. Got one good coin.

    Dug plenty of junk for sure as this is a place we have hunted for over twenty years. At this point we are digging just about anything and that’s what all my finds where. Everything but a nice coin till right before we left and I dug this nice 20-S Standing Liberty. Didnt realize it was an S...

    Made a lil time to get out and hunt today.

    As many of you know getting old isn’t much fun sometimes. I am the caregiver for my mom who has dementia. So, with that said finding time to get away isn’t easy anymore but, my hunting buddy and I broke away for a lil bit this morning. We hunted a house we had never hunted and it turned up a few...

    Meager finds today but, what a phenomenal day to be out.

    Dug some junk. Some wheats and gave them to the homeowner. Only decent dig was a 44 Merc. It’s in nice shape so, I will take that as a win. Got a great high righter and dug down about 6” and saw the rim of what at that moment looked like a silver dollar. Then as soon as I picked it up NOPE. Some...

    Starting off 2021 in the right way.

    First time out this year with my hunting buddy. we gained permission at an old 1860s home. The home owner said it had been hunted one time many years ago. My best dig was a nice 1858 Seated Quarter. I also dug about 6 wheaties and some junk. We got permission to return as well so, it’s always...

    Beautiful day today to be out hunting. Snagged a ugly LC

    Ugly as she may be she still counts for the year. I think it’s 1845 but, cannot say for certain as she’s rough. I also got numerous wheats but, the oldest (pictured) is a 17. This was an old school house built back in 1873. We have a lot more ground to cover so, there’s got to be some silver...

    Finally found a day to get out.

    Been so busy with life myself and my longtime hunting buddy decided to get out and take a break from the daily grind. Met some of the neatest farmers today. Had as much fun talking to them as hunting to be honest. I didn’t come away with much but, I did manage a 1891 IH, 1920 Wheatie and a nice...

    Well, got that third IH I was lacking from last post today and a whatizit made of sterling silver.

    Got, out with my son and hunting buddy back to are local spot we been hunting. We all dug are fair share of clad and junk. My son dug a nice old padlock. My buddy dug the most money in clad. I was the lucky one and got another IH. Its not quite as nice as the previous hunts IHs but, it adds to...

    One little Two little Three little Indians——-

    Ok, well I didn’t get the third Indian but, two works for me today. Got out again today with my hunting buddy. It was a nice day with temps at about 50*. Only hunted about 2.5hrs but, had a great time getting the heck outside. Anyhow, my two good finds for the day where a 1885 and 1890 IHs. Both...

    Got out again with hunting buddy and my son.

    Decided to head back to the place we had hunted are last two times out today. My son has sadly been laid off for a bit so, he decided to go with us. He has a Equinox 800. I personally did not find any old coins today but, my hunting buddy found a 1895 IH and my son found two IHs in one hole both...

    Back to the same place as where I got last weeks Seated.

    Nothing spectacular today but, boy was it nice to get out and hunt again. My buddy and I enjoyed the nice day out. I dug quite a few crusty zincolns, clad quarters and old pull tabs but I was able to get one good coin. A nice 1897 Barber dime at about 7”. We will probably head back there next...

    I had a fantastic start to 2020 detecting today.

    Was a beautiful day in Ohio today so, my hunting buddy and I got out for a little bit this afternoon. We headed to a trusty old spot that has produced some amazing coins for us during the last 20+ years. Today was no different. my first coin today was a mediocre 1890 IH then my next was a much...
