    1826 Capped Bust Half!!!!!!!!

    The other day I found a coin that I only ever dreamed of finding, mostly because the odds of finding one around here are not very good. It is an 1826 capped bust half dollar. When I flipped the plug over and saw it was big silver, I figured it was a seated. But something about the 50 c on the...

    And all I wanted was to find an indian....

    This has been a slow year for me detecting. The few hunts I have done have mostly been relic hunting. I got the itch to find some coins, particularly an indian, because I hadn't found one since last year. I went back to a house where last year I found a Morgan to see if I could find anything...

    One of my favorite finds ever

    I finally found something worth sharing. I located an old building on a map I have and got permission to hunt the site. I knew I was in the right area because of all the old glass lying on the surface. Thirty minutes into the hunt I got a nice quarter signal but was shocked when this 1858-O...

    Handful of silver

    I finally got out for a hunt today with a friend. We hit an old school but only found a few wheats. After we went our separate ways, I hit a house that was being remodeled. The owner said the yard had been hit twice in the last month and they both found a lot of coins. I almost passed but gave...

    Weekend hunt with Mason Jarr

    Had a chance this weekend to spend a couple of afternoons hunting with Mason Jarr. He and I have been emailing back and forth for some time now but this weekend we were finally able to meet up for a hunt. He drove down and we were able to get out for several hours on Friday and Saturday. I...

    Finally found my first seated!

    Ever since I started detecting, I've wanted to find a seated coin. Aside from being old, I think that they're really beautiful coins. They've always eluded me until a couple of days ago. I went with a friend of mine to a place that he had permission for. After several hours of hunting, I got...

    Couple of decent hunts

    Got out a couple of times this week. On Wednesday I hit a couple of local houses. The first one was a bust so I decided to knock on the house next door. It was a tiny yard but right in the middle of it I got a sweet, silvery signal that bounced between 46 and 48. It was more robust than a...

    First hunt of the year yields a big ol' barber

    Went down to a local hunted out park for a quick hunt this afternoon. It was a balmy 35 degrees with a stout breeze blowing. At least the sun was out. The snow has melted just enough so there's about a 20' strip around the edge of the park where grass is showing. Of all the parks I've hunted...

    My silver totals for 2012

    I didn't get out near as much this year as I would have liked to. School occupied most of my time. However, for the time that I was able to dedicate to hunting, I don't think I did too bad. [attachment 253751 DSC02405-1.jpg] 1 War nickel 8 Roosies 18 Mercs 2 Barbers 6 Washingtons 1 Franklin...

    Ben, George, and an injun took their dogs for a ride through a recently harvested wheat field in a Chrysler

    I found a good pile of loot today. We got out of school early again so I went hunting. I went back to Mark's place he let me go again. I picked right up where I left off on the last hunt there. I started finding wheats right off and worked my way across the yard. I finished one half of the...

    My best two hunts of the year - Big Silver!

    I have not been out nearly as much this year as I would like to. School has been keeping me quite busy so I haven't found much. The last two hunts I've had have been pretty good though. A couple of weeks ago, I had a free Saturday so I went for a drive to see if I could find a good house to...

    Tokens

    Howdy guys. One of my goals for this year is to find more trade tokens. I've found a few, but would like to find more. For you guys that have dug several, what numbers do they read? I know they can be all over the place due to the wide variety of sizes, shapes, and compositions, but any help...

    Vacant Lot Hunting

    The other day I was detecting a yard and the owner told me that there used to be an old house in the vacant lot across the street. I think it would be a great place to hunt. I always get permission when I'm not hunting parks but what about vacant lots? Do I need permission to hunt them or...

    Two hunts: Four silver day and a seven token day

    I finally found my camera so I could post these. I just moved to Utah so I can go to dental school this fall. School doesn't start for three more weeks so I have lots of time for detecting. Last week I got out several times and have gone house hunting more since I haven't had much success at...

    My best day so far: 7 Silvers including a Walker!

    My uncle stopped in to where I work the other day and I showed him my etrac. He was interested in how it works, especially how deep I've been finding coins. He detected a lot in the 80s and 90s and we planned a hunt for last Wednesday. Our goal for the day was to hit an old campground that I...

    First SLQ! First Walker! First Barber Quarter! I've had a good week

    Last week I hunted an area at a park that used to be a rodeo arena. It's now a softball field. There were three huge sets of bleachers surrounding the arena. I've heard stories from people that found pockets full of coins after every rodeo. I put on my 8x6 SEF coil and went to work, hoping...

    I got a BIG haircut today!

    This morning was really nice so I decided to go out for a hunt. They were forecasting a big storm to come through but I figured I could get a couple of hours in before it got here. I tried a new park but it was a bust. I think someone brought in a bunch of fill dirt because there were very...

    Coins I found at my job this summer

    Since there's too much snow to go detecting, I thought I'd post the better coins and bills that I pulled from the wild this summer. My family runs an outdoor produce stand each summer. We grow most of the vegetables that we sell and then buy fruit from Boise and Utah to sell (our climate is...

    Anyone live in/around Tucson, AZ?

    This weekend my wife and I are headed to Tucson to visit family for the week of Thanksgiving. I'd like to do some detecting while I'm down there and thought it would be fun to meet up with someone and hunt. I'm available Mon-Wed next week any time. Send me a PM if you'd like to go. Jason

    Wahoo! I found THE BIG ONE!

    Howdy all. My name is Jason and I'm fairly new to this forum. I started detecting two years ago and I bought my e-trac back in May. I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. This is my first post because other than a few dimes and some wheats, I haven't found much worth posting. That is...
