    first seated, and possibly most expensive coin

    it’s been quite some time since i’ve swung the old at pro. our town did a small sidewalk tear out and had to hit it asap before anyone else got there. being a old part of town, i figured for some goodies. total of silver was 4 dimes. first was a merc, second was a 1902 s mint barber, then got my...

    second gold ring ever.

    finally got a hankering to get out and dig. been almost a year hiatus, which is forever in my eyes. I'm no fan of the heat and up in Washington I'm considered a puss cause it doesn't get all that hot. so I took the summer off and will enjoy the fall and winter since we have mild ones around...

    My AT PRO struck gold!

    I knew this day would come but I was hoping for sooner than later! Well I'll settle for later if this is what I getta dig up! 18k gold antique ring with a big beautiful opal in the center. Rang up as a 52 solid and was about 2.5 to 3 inches deep. I'm guessing it was dropped with it the last yr...

    Silver with first 5x8 outing!

    Pics are bad but coins are alittle worse for wear. Decided to make first hunt with new coil at old park in town that's been around since 1900 easily. Heavily wooded with lots of narrow trails and serious old growth in back of park. 5 months ago or so I hit it pretty good with the big coil and...

So the question is, are there any tricks or differences to watch out for with this smaller coil? Mostly dirt fishing but curious if vdi numbers are different at all...

    At pro issues.

    Here's the skinny folks, went last weekend to hunt a swimming area. Before I went out I went through the at pro and made sure seals and cable connections were tight and clean. This is my 4th time water hunting and the machine hasn't acted up before. After the hunt I got home I dried off and put...

    Had to go one more time!

    Well not having any idea of where to hunt but having a itch to dig I decided to see how the street tear up downtown was going. Last time I was there, they were about to wrap it up. I figured I had pounded the area pretty good and in the back of my mind I knew there were more targets to be had...

    The last hunt

    I sat around all weekend doing jack squat! Sunday rolls around and inspiration doesn't strike me til 5pm. I just have to give the street improvement spot one more final swing. By Monday they will be doing final grading and then all will be lost forever. Kinda glad I went out, we had pretty bad...

    3 day hunt in my town

    I just spent the last 20 min typing this up and somehow deleted the whole this uuuugh. So here it goes again. A contractor is upgrading a very old part of town. New sewer, water, roads, and most important sidewalks!!! They did unfortunately remove a lot of dirt when doing the walks so the...

    Another almost hundred year old pin!

    Ok this is weird! Revier posted his find of a health pin he found and I remember looking at it and thinking how cool it would be to actually find one like that! I even opened the link he had added to his post and checked out all the other years and designs of pins made. AND I remember vividly...

    Short hunt semi key date

    Decided yesterday that i would wake early, which I did, and hit the sleepy little town of sumner. It's the next town over and dates back to the 1860s roughly. In the center of town is a old large park with lots of really really old trees. One of my goals has been to pull at least a wheat back...

    Nice silver in tot lot

    Woke up somewhat early this morning and on way to get my redbulls and little woman's mocha, had a thought. It's early enough to get home, grab the at pro, and hit the local tot lots. Been a few months since I've hit them so why not. Figured if I could get there before the rush of little curtain...

    Can't believe I'm saying this but... BIG SILVER!

    Let me start out by saying this item wasn't even on my bucket list. Haha never thought I'd find one. Sure maybe someday a silver half if I'm lucky but not a fricken Morgan! Let me rewind a bit , met my hunting bud and best friend of over 35 yrs. at a local park. He wasn't hitting much and...

    Interesting find

    Hit a local area couple days ago and mostly clad. Did manage this spoon, which had me so excited when I saw it at first glance. #1 on bucket list, I figured was getting a big line through it. Well it's plated and I've dug a few that were wiped clean of it's plating. It was quite deep and the lip...

    2 yrs of pocket watches

    Should be out digging today, it's gorgeous out. But no here I sit In my garage, reliving old hunts. Thought I'd post some finds from last year, when I didn't know how to add pics! Most are just shells of there former glory. The only one I really thought was a unique find is the guy without the...

    Recon with results.

    Haven't found much worth writing about, actually haven't gotten out much this year to find anything worth a dang. Yesterday decided to drive up to Seattle and venture out of my comfort zone. No place in perticular, figured I'd try a new town and mix it up a bit. Hit a small pa rk by alki beach...
