    2 silvers last 3 hunts

    Last Saturday was a beautiful day weatherwise, mid '60's, sunshine. Great day to be out dirtfishing. First stop was an elementary school, with a large grassy play area. I was using low disc, going low and slow, but was only finding clad and trash. I decided to go to a high school football...

    eyeball find turns out to be vintage 18K

    Last Saturday afternoon I put the 5" coil on the F70 and went back to the park that I call "bottlecap park." My previous trip to this park a week ago, I had found a merc dime while using the 11" coil. So I was hoping that by using the smaller coil, I could another silver or two between the...

    a few goodies from recent hunts

    The snow is still in the mountains but has melted here in the valleys, allowing me to get out for some land hunts. I got the no date buffalo at an older elementary school. It gave me a foil signal on the F70. The '43 mercury dime I found at an old park (1931). I am thinking of naming...

    Saturday Schoolyard Silver

    Got out Saturday for an afternoon hunt. Temps are chilly (highs in the low 30's), but no snow on the ground right now. So I am taking advantage of it and trying to squeeze in a few more dirt hunts before the snow starts coming. Hunted two school sports fields, very large grassy areas. First...

    the AT Pro's turn to shine

    Over the week of Thanksgiving, I went on several hunts and was lucky to find gold and silver. That was with the F70. Last Saturday was the AT Pro's turn to shine. It was raining as I left the house and was supposed to rain intermittenly throughout the day. That was OK as I had the AT Pro...

    Gold, silver, & clad over Thanksgiving Holdiay

    I took the whole week off from work for Thanksgiving holiday. Got out for six hunts and found $41.19 in clad. Also found a '64 GW quarter, a 925 chain, a small 925 ring and a white gold 14K ARTCARVED ring ! The 14K ring was found at a high school football field along the sidelines. It gave...

    compadre finds teenie target, then big

    Took a short break from work and drove the short distance to the lakefront. Started hunting the grassy areas where the young adults like to lay their blankets while they work on their tans. This area gets hunted pretty hard during the swim season as you can imagine. I like to go through it...

    went to the barber, then I found a barber

    After getting a haircut, I headed to a park in a small town about a half hour away. I had searched this park two times before, but knew that I had not covered it thoroughly. Clad was all I had found the two previous times and it was a decent amount, five or six bucks each time. So I was...

    cladfest plus big silver

    Got out Sunday afternoon to a high school sports field for about 3 1/4 hours. There seemed to be a lot of clad coins in the area I was concentrating on, the area behind one of the goal posts. Was digging a lot of quarters, ran into several coin spills. I dug a lot of mid tones too ( not all...

    AT Pro sniffs out a few silver over Easter weekend

    Got out for about 4 hours on Saturday afternoon. First stop was a sports field next to an elementary school. Girls were having a softball game on the diamond, so I started searching the soccer field. I was finding some clad along with the usual trash when I got a 93 signal on the Pro. Up...

    having fun with the compadre

    It has been interesting to see the comments regarding the Mojave. I imagine a lot of people are eager to add one to their detector collection if they haven't done so already. It sure is tempting. I hadn't used my Compadre for awhile. But I got it out today for a hunt at a basketball court...

    first silver coin of 2017 is a nice surprise

    I went Saturday to search a sports field at a high school. The same school where I found the silver washer ? This time I was searching the football field and adjacent areas. I had searched some of this area last fall, but wanted to revisit it and search a few smaller areas that I hadn't...

    1st silver for 2017 is a wash...er ?

    Some bare patches of ground are starting to show up with the warmer temps and melting snow. I got out to a high school and searched where I could. Was finding some clad and junk and decided to search the areas of the soccer field that weren't snow covered. I was searching near a bench where...

    last day rosie, wrap up 2016

    Snow is deep and plentiful here in N. Idaho. So for the last day of 2016, I waded in the lake looking for treasures. There was not much to be found but I did manage another silver coin to end the year on a good note ( '59 rosie). For 2016, I was hoping to meet or exceed my clad total for...

    wee bit o' silver with the clad

    Got out Saturday to a sports field to do some searching. It was time to give the CZ7a Pro some exercise. Found some clad, a 1934 Canadian penny, and the small silver ring. The 7a Pro did good on the nickels, it always does. Got almost as many nickels as dimes. It was raining the entire...

    nice fall day for a two school hunt

    Saturday was very rainy and chilly, no detecting that day. Sunday was just about perfect weather for getting out and doing some searching. I wore shorts and a T-shirt and was comfortable all afternoon. First stop was an elementary school with a very large sports field behind it. Dug some...

    therapeutic hunt yields small silver ring and a little "Luck"

    I was needing a little stress relief before starting my workweek. So I left for work a little early and drove to a park. I pulled into the parking lot and saw that the parks department was mowing the lawn. Almost turned around and left, but decided to stay and hunt. The park is big enough...

    curbstrip gives up 925 shiney

    Last Saturday, I made plans to go do some curbstripping and the backup plan was to search a park if the curbstripping didn't pan out. Found a few curbstrips that looked like they could be good and got to hunting with the F70, 11" coil. Got on to some clad, mostly pennies, ended up with 3...

    secured permission yields silver, wheats

    I have been keeping my eye on a residential lot that is being prepped for a new house. The old garage and house have been torn down, leaving just a couple of large trees and some dead, dried up grass. Yesterday I saw a man and a woman in the lot doing some measuring. So I stopped and talked...

    why I did 2 hunts on a workday

    Short answer is--to take advantage of an opportunity. I left for work early so I could do a hunt at a middle school where I have been finding a decent amount of clad and a little bit of bling. Hunting for about an hour yielded $2.42 in clad. The coins here get discolored, kind of a rust like...
