    A ring and large cent

    There is a place near me that I have had my eye on for several years ..It is beside a stream waterfall. Way way back before roads, the waterways were the roads and these falls were always a portage. One side of the stream is fairly flat ,,,,maybe a good place to camp? Last year new owners...

    Anything better than a 12x10 UPDATE

    As I mentioned in my previous post my 12x10 coil suddenly went sour. I was actually on the edge of warranty but Kellyco came through in flying colors. Once I was able to speak with the correct rep. and explain my problem they took care of it. He told me as soon as they had a tracking number...

    Joined the sef club

    After waiting and watching (this forum) I finally made the jump to a 10by12 sef ..Arrived today noon and on the v by 12:30. Air test and it will hold rx at 15 but with the boost it overloads. It can hold with rx at 12. Does this sound like it is a good coil? I took it to an iron infested...

    From A Maine river

    This is a combined post from two Mainers because one of us has dial up and can't post I guess. Today I took Indiankirk to my new, old pier system. Kirk recovered a 1890 dime in the first ten minutes followed by a 1964 quarter then a fantastic (for Maine tidal ground)1828 large cent. Finally he...

    From the mighty Penobscot

    Hi all this is my first post in the Today finds section. The v3i and I have been collecting dust due to some severe back issues and then surgery.

    COUPLE CENTS

    You know Larry and Rob the ones when you have high numbers but not high in the green. Indiankirk and I went back to this new area and found two very old roadways next to a overgrown field. Signals are few and far between but no pulltabs or bottlecaps so one digs everything. I found the George...

    Itty bitty seated

    Today I got a chance to explore some new territory. I was scouting for mushrooms and of coarse detecting. I was going to walk to the river about 1 mile and hope to find perhaps an old swimming area. The river didn't look good for swimming but there were definitely trails or paths there. I...

    The flipper an idea

    Here is an idea I had for summer grass and weeds. I posted this before but in my attempt at a little humor it appeared as if I might be selling something..These flippers are everywhere I see one at the dump yesterday and almost rescued it. The idea was well received at mdm a local site and...

    My first three center

    The Indian and I got out for probably our last hunt at an old fairground for this year. We have been real fortunate with the finds . Lots of wheat's Indians and large cents( four I think) and old silver. Today I found my first three cent piece. It had a vid in the low thirty's so I was real...
