    Merc & Wheat spill.

    Out today for about 3 hours. Got a 1917 Merc and a readable 1919 wheat a foot away. Another wheat in the hole with the 19 was too toasted to read. GL & HH! Ed

    Woods, Spoon & Silver

    Went out yesterday in the snow covered woods to a site I've only been to once before and just did a specific area. Came upon a plated spoon by an old and very large dead tree as well as a good deal of foil bits and pieces. About 15 feet away was rewarded with a 1942 Merc, my fist silver of the...

    #46 & 47 FTY 42 Washington AND ........

    a 1916 REAL CLEAN Barber dime! And the dime I thought was a penny, but had tone and only max a 7-27 VID, was 9+ inches down and surprised the hell out of me. I scraped around the bottom of the plug after removing another at least 2" and I saw the bluish silver hint of a dime. At that point I...

    #45 FTY! Snuck by with a 64 Rosie!

    Looking for signs of life out in the woods again and awaiting the dreaded, yet sometimes glorious pull tab detection! Because when you run into a pile of pull tabs and beer bottle caps in a pretty small and remote area of the woods, ya just never know what your going to find. As it went the...

    3 Silver day!

    I've gotten a number of silvers from this park and have covered all but the real trashy and high iron areas, just usually passing through them on my way to elsewhere. Today I decided that I have to take on the beast and FOCUS, if I had any chance of finding anything among the null and...

    #41 FTY & Back to the Mercuries!

    Hi fellas! I know this is just a regular old Merc compared to some of the WOW finds you guys post, but it's silver. I've been erroneously posting in the Explorer forum and apologize. This was with the Minelab Explorer SE Pro I bought used from a fella in Chicago. 11" Pro coil, gain 10, sense...

    #40 FTY! Chasing Washington!

    One of those signals you can either take or leave. Great tone, little bit of 27,28, 29 VID, and sometimes 6-31. Can barely pinpoint it with the SE Pro. Hot on the settings as well. 26 Sense, 10 Gain, 16 IM. 11" Pro Coil. Danced around it for a good 4 or 5 minutes before I had to make the call...

    #39 FTY - SAME PARK! SAME AREA!

    Well as the old saying goes, no park is ever hunted out. I know that for a fact now! Again HOT settings, low and slow. 20 minutes in I get a real good tone and VID that reads 5-29, 00-28 and no other #'s no matter how much I danced. Dug a pretty deep plug, about 6", and right at the bottom of...

    # 38 FTY and a nice vintage gold filled earring!

    Out after work today in some very iron and trash infected area, at a park I've been through a gazillion times. But about every third time I go there with the correct mindset, I pick up another silver. Low and slow and hot as hell on the SE Pro, 11" coil. I worked for the earring. Couldn't get a...

    #37 FTY! Old Spot But 1st Time for Silver!

    I've been to this park a dozen times in the past long ago and kinda gave up on it because it's so trashy and full of iron mineral that it's a nightmare to detect. But I got off of work early and had some time to kill and the weather was beautiful. Now I can't say that I've ever found silver in...

    #36 FTY in Park Grass & a Beautiful Day!

    Haven't been on here for a while but thought I'd try it out again. I'm not having any problems with my SE Pro except for the fact that I completely destroyed my last one after three years of use. I bought another good used one from a fella in Chicago and it's working well. I found this Rosie...

    1 hour 15 minutes in the woods

    Did laundry, went to my grandsons 3 year birthday party, then moved a refrigerator for my other son, then went detecting. Was in the woods 45 minutes from 5 pm and ran into these. At first I thought it may be a can top as I had dug several of them already in the immediate area. Was a 28, 29 & 30...

    Silver #36 & 37, A deuce in the hole!!

    Winding up the weekend I decided to stop by an old park pretty late and take my trail ideas a wandering there. I wasted half an hour staying close to the picnic area digging some clad and then decided to go off the beaten path. After about 20 minutes of searching I hit another clad quarter and...

    Silvers #30, 31 & 32!!!!!

    Well I know these aren't oldies but they're silver so here goes. Spent the late afternoon tromping around the woods looking for old trails near an abandoned sports field. Upon one of the suspected trails I found a boatload of old buried beer cans. Now I know from vast experience that after a few...

    New Handle, Same Old Pirate

    Fellas. For the sake of brevity on my part for posting I will no longer be known as Old Pirate and have changed my handle to one I use everywhere and is on my cards I hand out to permissions and people interested in the hobby. So no more Old Pirate for me!! Thanks for all your understanding in...
