    Lawn mower dinged/cut coins

    For those of us that have been hunting for even a short period of time, it's not uncommon to recover lawn mower clipped, dinged and cut coins. I've recovered many over the years. Several of which, have been silver. In fact, my first Morgan dollar find had tangled with a lawn mower, but...

    Got somewhat hassled this morning.

    As is my practice on Sunday mornings after spouse and self go to early Church and make a donut stop after, I go to one of three old city schools for a couple hours of detecting. With city schools starting tomorrow I had already decided if several cars were around the school I selected I would...

    Hot! Hot! Hot!

    Forums have all been pretty quiet of late. Hot temps keeping many from getting out or forcing us to shorter hunts I guess. What about you water hunters? I'm still getting out most days starting out early mornings, but hunts are shorter. By mid morning our temps here are 90 or so. Nothing...

    One piece at a time.

    My Nox and I have been playing on a golf course that is closed for renovation. 3rd one in the area in the last 4 years. Anyway, a week or so ago I recovered a quarter size half moon disc which looked to be silver. No markings, but it id'ed 31-32 on the Nox and at home it tested silver. Two days...

    Golf courses

    I've debated about making this post as I no longer do pictures and posts of my finds outings, but I've decided to as it may trigger a few of you into checking on possible city golf course hunting opportunities in your various locals. Some golf courses can be pretty special hunting opportunities...

    All that glitters is not gold...or silver.

    Well, hundred dollar bills don't glitter, but they non the less look pretty darn good just laying there on a curb strip or street. I started this hobby in 1972, 50 years ago, and have found a goodly number of paper money over the years, but never a $100.00 bill. Have found all the...

    Rain

    A banner find for me this morning was waking up to a light, but steady drizzle. Checked my rain gauge, 1.35". Airport shows 1.48". We had gotten dry as a bone and most detecting places had literally dried up. The last measurable rain we've had was back in early June. Typically we average 4-5" of...

    What are the odd's?

    I'm going to post this here on the Today's Find's Forum as I've already referenced the spot and some hunting results in Ronstrar's post "Green Grass" in this same forum. The spot continues to yield each of us a silver coin or more almost daily. WE have some bad weather coming, but more...

    The Simplex went to Minnesota!

    I don't post much about my finds anymore and don't do the camera thing anymore, either. Did, though, want to pass along that the Simplex + performed very nicely for me while my wife and I spent 10 days just recently up at a resort in northern Mn. A spot that we have been going to for 25...

    Simplex +

    Been learning two new detectors this summer, the Simplex being one of them. While I don't have a ton of hours on it since taking delivery of it late in May, enough, though, to know I enjoy using it and its performance far exceeds its price point. It ranks up there with the big boys for depth and...

    Couple outings out with new Simplex

    Been out the last two mornings with the Simplex for a total of 9 hours of hunting time. Save for one good hit, everything else good was cents and clad, along with 2 wheat cents. Oldest of these was 1936. First off, this site is a blanket of trash and has seen activity since the Union occupied...

    Equinox manual

    Finally broke down and decided to give the Nox a try, the 600 model, and was wondering about what type of manual comes with it, easy to understand, or not? Forgot to pose this question with the dealer and also kind of wanted some of you guys thoughts on Andy Sabisch's Equinox book, so decided...

    Had to find out what all the noise was about.

    Simplex noise, that is. My wife asked me after I got home from detecting today what I wanted for my birthday, which is next week. I kind of jokingly said, "two new detectors." She promptly replied, " the two detectors you have that you mentioned you were thinking about selling, use those two...

    Nothing special coin spill

    Probably wouldn't have taken a picture even if I still carried a camera, but in thinking about it, don't recall throughout my decades of hunting of ever hitting a coin spill quite this large. All newer coinage, save for 1 1958 wheat among the spoils. It all came from an area less then a foot in...

    First Texas shout out.

    Had an Omega 8000 that the pin point membrane went out on some months back and finally decided to send it back for a repair. Knew it was out of warranty, it was made the end of 2014 and I purchased it the early part of 2015. Felix, non the less, told me once they had inspected it that they would...

    What are the chances?

    I seldom post about my finds any more and no longer carry a camera and my phone is still the antique flip top style, but ever so often I kind of wish I could. Yesterday I was hunting on a very old park that has trash in it going back to Civil war time. I was carefully hunting along a tree line...

    IowaRelic and the Omega 8500

    I am one that has an Omega 8500. In fact, I am on my 2nd one. Acquired my 1st shortly after the model came out. Loved, and still do, the Omega 8000, so seemed like a natural progression to get a 8500. Traded the first one after about 3 months. Just couldn't get used to the clipped sounding...

    Just for kicks

    Since I retired a number of years ago my practice has been to hunt early mornings, with a hunting buddy usually, for 3-4 hours. And, I have stayed the course, mainly hunting for old coins and with pleasure, take any gold or silver jewelry that might come along. Like for many many years hunters...

    Omega 8000 finds a 4.7 gram zinc cent

    Took the Omega back to the festival spot this afternoon and decided to remove some of the zinc cent (77) readings. Dimes and quarters have pretty much dried up on the spot. After popping 8 or 9 zinc cents and a couple of dimes, got another 77 reading about a inch deep and popped up a small gold...

    Omega 8000

    Haven't been seeing much on the Omega 8000, or the 8500, for that matter, of late and I hadn't been swinging one of mine for a while, either. So, dusted off the 8000, put a fresh 9 v battery in and headed out for some coin shooting. I live in a community that has banned "digging on city...
