    A great friend and a great find

    Saturday afternoon found me in a wooded area here in Eastern Pennsylvania with a very special friend. He shared a spot with me that produced quite a few old coins. The 1909 O Barber dime was the first silver to pop up followed by the Seated Quarter and then the 1899 dime. The token is a good...

    Hot Summer Silver

    With temperatures near 90 metal detecting probably wasn't on the the list of things to do today for most but I love the summer months and hunt when others stay inside. I went to an old ball field and spent a few hours there. Running the Andy S pattern and sens @ manual 27 did a nice job with...

    Back to the old grove

    Hi All, I was able to get back to a wooded area I had hunted last year and saw an opportunity to scan a section that had been mashed down by all the recent heavy snow. It was a beautiful day today with temps close to 70. My totals for the day were the 2 Barbers, 3/4 of an Indian with no date...

    Back to the Old Trolley Stop

    Went back to the area where I was last week in hopes of finding a few more goodies that may have been overlooked. The whole time I was there I didn't see anyone !! Guess they're all at the shore !! My tactic today was to go very slow, listen carefully to the threshold and adjust my patterns...

    The Old Trolley Stop

    Drove the 20+ miles to get to the Soccer Field from Monday's hunt only to find about a hundred kids using the field so I had to go to Plan B. There is a an old trolley stop that I've hunted in the past with my Explorer II that was my backup but I didn't get there until after lunch. The last...

    Soccer Field Silver

    A tip from a friend of mine found me standing on an old soccer field this morning. As soon as I fired up the E-Trac and noise cancelled I put the coil on the ground and got a 12-45 signal at 5 inches !! My first find today was the 44 Merc. Gotta love that! Most of the coins dug today were in...

    Short hunt today

    Hi everyone!! I started out this morning thinking that it was going to be a normal detecting day but a family obligation cut my time down to a few hours. An hour into the hunt the E-Trac sounded off with a 12-45 signal at 5 inches and out popped the Merc. The 1900 V nickel was a nice find but...

    Second visit to a new site

    The anticipation was high all week thinking about a return trip to a new site that I hunted briefly last Saturday. It gets you through a tough week. Something to look forward to!! The first thing that hit me when I arrived was the dramatic change from a week ago. The woods literally...

    Hard work, Old silver

    I broke today's hunt into 2 parts. The morning was spent at a new area and after an hour or so of digging junk I wandered into a spot with just older coins. The 2 Mercs were found right away and then old nickels and Indians started to surface. Hopefully, a return visit next week will turn up...

    Spent the day with a bunch of Indians

    Hi everyone! Last Saturday I had a run on Buffalo nickels and today it was Indians. Most were in the 12-33 to 12-38 range and the deepest one was around 9 inches. The Canadian dime in the photo has no date. I discovered that the date range on this coin is 1858-1901. The Canadian cent was...

    Saturday, Silver, New Friend

    To me, Saturday is the best day of the week. I spend a large portion of it detecting and getting away from all the concerns of life. It's a reset button or just a way to decompress. I was only able to hunt a few hours last week so I'm going to combine today's totals with last week. I was...

    Sunshine, Blue Skies and Silver

    Hi everyone! The day was perfect for detecting so I went back to the area where I found the Half Reale 2 weeks ago and just enjoyed the beautiful day. Spent the entire time hunting in TTF. Some of the targets were very deep and I tried switching the Recovery Fast and Recovery Deep on and off...

    Only found 1 new coin today

    How many of you see the first coin found in a hunt as an indication of where the day is heading? I always hope for a wheaty or an Indian as a first coin. Today, my first coin was a Lincoln Memorial and (to me) that wasn't a good sign. I was in a wooded area that was heavily used over a long...

    Back in the Groove

    The last few weekends here in Pa. have been snowy and cold. We had a break today with temps in the 40's and no snow on the ground. I went back to the wooded area where I found the Barber quarter 3 weeks ago and started with the Andy S pattern and TTF. The first signal was a 12-20 @ 4 inches that...

    Saturday in the Park

    Hi all !! Today in eastern Pa. the weather was sunny and the temps were near 50 degrees. I decided to put the 8 inch DD coil from my Explorer II on the E-Trac and hunt a wooded area very thick with stickers and briar. I was running the Andy S program with the detector set for Multi-tone...

    Shhhh-It's a secret

    I know I'm preaching to the choir, but hunting with an E-Trac in two tone ferrous is like have a secret weapon. I went to a wooded area that's been absolutely pounded and hunted it for a few hours in TTF. Everyone has all but given up on this area but take a look at the picture! Please don't...

    Silver Trifecta

    Happy New Year to all! I spent this beautiful sunny day here in eastern Pennsylvania hunting an old Picnic Grove. The recent snow was all but gone and the ground was just right for easy digging. I found the 1911 Barber dime and the 1951 Roosevelt in the first 45 minutes of the hunt. This...
