    A few firsts, 2013 off to a good start

    The bust half dime I found a few months ago at a CW site, it was my first 1800's silver. I've been hunting a new lot the past couple weeks, first time there scored my first SLQ! 1924d semi-key with awesome details, unfortunately it's a little crusty like the dimes I found there and cleaned...

    Last couple hunts, silver'd on both

    First hunt in a local park I was exploring some lower tones to try to pick up some relics and see how they sound. I think I have a pretty good feel for small lead and brass now. They come in as a real light "bump" of a low tone. The lantern piece has a patent date of 1863, could be CW...

    Barber dime...first half cent.

    Got up early this morning and hit up a park that I don't hunt very often. I decided that I wasn't going to leave until I scored silver. Four hours and six and a half wheaties later I scored my first Explorer Barber. Thought I had scored my first 1800's silver until I gave it a little rinse...

    First Explorer silver

    Went on a little roadtrip with a hunting buddy today. First park we hit, I nailed my first Explorer silver, just barely, a '64 rosie. Not a whole lot doing there, not even a wheatie, so we moved on to another town that had a really old park with CW history. Not much doing there either, but we...

    Quick Relic Hunt

    Scored my first Explorer 3-ringers today. They are always fun to find. Also pulled a couple buttons that I would have sworn were going to have eagles on them, but no dice. Only my second ever thimble, would love to score a silver one some day. Took a week off from work, going to go on a...

    Third hunt with Explorer II, found a 1922....

    Had the day off, so I took my boy to the park. Brought the explorer just in case he would piddle around with me for a few minutes. We tooled around a bit, he had fun using the pinpointer to "help". He mostly picked up bugs and worms, and returned them to their "homes" on the trees. He...

    New to the explorer family

    I had been wanting to get an explorer II for a while now, finally nutted up and bought one. So far I have been out for a couple short hunts, and I'm loving it. Found a couple wheaties, but no silver yet. I do have a couple questions, what settings should start out with? I already have a...

    1914 D Wheat!!!!!!!!!!!!:super:

    Haven't been doing much hunting this year, only gotten out a handful of times. The two injuns and merc came from the same property that I've hit a couple times this year. Got out yesterday with my buddy and he takes me to a school that we haven't hit before. It was a park before it was a...

    Finally found Mr. Rosie hiding in a wheat field :wiggle:

    Finally!!!!!!! Took me almost two years to find my first Rosie, a '59 D, nice to have that monkey off my back. Only thing left to knock off the list for the year is an 1800's silver, and an SLQ, but I don't have my hopes up for the SLQ. Six wheaties, one a '20, I think my first of that year...

    Posting Pictures

    I know some people have trouble posting pictures because of the resizing. The method that I use is really simple. When I upload a picture on my computer and click on it, it shows up in "windows picture and fax viewer". From here, on the bottom right hand corner there is a little picture...

    New detector "discovers" BIG SILVER!!!:yo:

    Had on my wishlist for the year to find any half dollar. A few weeks ago, I found my first, a '71 clad Kennedy half. I just wasn't satisfied with it, didn't really feel like I knocked one off the list cause it wasn't silver. That all changed today...hit up a new group of city owned...

    Picked up a discovery 2000

    Anyone know if this is a good machine? Picked it up off of Craigslist locally for $35, looks like it's brand new :smile: I figured it was so cheap that I'd give it a whirl, seems to go a hair deeper than my Challenger on air tests, and it's nice to have a pushbutton switch over to all metal...

    First "O" mintmark!!! :jump:

    Hit up an old property yesterday, original house was built in the 1870's, current property in the early teens. Very first signal that I dug, my first New Orleans mintmark Barber dime, 1903!! I only saw the reverse at first, saw the "O" and thought that I had scored my first 1800's silver, no...

    First CW Coat Button :biggrin:

    Went to a local park today that has been hit pretty hard but had a lot of civil war action. I have only pulled out one CW bullet at this park, most of the goodies that are left are 10 to 12 inches deep. Somehow, I managed to score my first coat button at about 4 inches deep. I can't believe...

    Silver Showers :biggrin:

    Checked the radar when I woke up this morning, had about 40 minutes til a big thunderstorm hit, so I rushed off to some city owned properties for a quick hunt. The rain started after about 30 minutes....thought "what the heck...the Challenger needs a good cleaning anyway," so I kept on hunting...

    :wiggle: $.35 in Silver!!

    Went back to a group of city owned properties where I found the V-nickel and pulled a couple silvers! First silver quarter of the year, only my second ever. Then I found what I thought was my first silver rosie, but after cleaning the dirt off, I could tell it was a merc, can't say I'm...

    First V-Nick n OK token

    Finds from my last couple hunts, hitting up some city owned properties. The V-nickel is my first, a 1908, pretty crusty, but I'll take it, came from a sidewalk tearout. Also picked up my first OK tax token, they come out of the ground looking a little better than the MO zinc ones. Getting...

    Gorgeous Silver!! :crazy:

    Back to the new site today for an hour, dug a fired civil war bullet, looks to be a .44 colt army revolver round, haven't even really looked at it or cleaned it yet, too excited bout my next find. Dug my second 1918 d Mercury dime for the year, the other was in really nice shape, but this new...

    Barber!!!! :super:

    Went back to the city owned property, and on my very first signal, scored a sweet 1916s Barber dime, full liberty, best condition Barber I've found. It was right next to a plug I cut a couple days ago. Put me back on track for my one silver a month goal. Went to the bank today, and scored a...

    New Oldest Coin

    Has been very hot and very dry here lately, but we've finally gotten a couple inches of rain over the past few days, and the temps are in the 80's. I hit up the old honey hole a couple times over the last month, could only stand 1 hour hunts, but I pulled a few goodies out, three .54 round...
