    First hunt 2016...

    Weather was scheduled to be great so I had it all planned out for this morning. All went as scheduled except I forgot my money/wallet. I remembered tucking a 20 into a book in my field box about ten years ago and hoped I hadn't already spent it. It was still there, which saved the day, at...

    Thanksgiving

    What unusual things happened to you over the holiday? For me it was unusually warm weather and a trip home. I threw my 2500 in the car before I left, just in case, later realizing I forgot my Propointer. Neither of my nieces have been interested detecting for 5 or 6 years so imagine my...

    Warm November Day

    Not too much to say about today's hunt. It was fun? Yes. It was fun! The gun barrel is a really nicely constructed toy. It was a nicely constructed toy. It was buried about 10 inches down and imaging on the 2500 had it as size C. I was hoping it was a spill of old silver coins. A...

    Fun in the snow!

    Yes, you read that right. There was snow in the Catskills this afternoon. Light snow. I had a lot to say about today, but I'm going to be brief. I'll try, anyway. I made one big triangular shaped trek through the park. About an hour in I saw a guy in a Jeep looking at me through...

    First 90% silver coin in awhile for me.

    I guess the title says it all. At a school that was built in 1963 which just makes it into silver territory. About halfway through my day I got the Merc and boy was I surprised. And pretty happy too! It was right at home plate at a rusty old backstop. Had a great hunt last weekend that I...

    The best laid plans.

    I decided to hit a few places where I've found some older coins. Not a lot of clad at any of them, really. The theme to my return to treasure hunting seems to be that I can't remember when I should be hitting various sites. That continued but it was a bit of a lemonade from lemons thing. I...

    AYSO Soccer and Something Else

    Today is the day. Today was the day. Up early and home early with a small pile of loot, but more about that later. I arrived at site one as the sun was rising and there were a whole bunch of people already there. I quickly determined they were laying out a new soccer field and that it was...

    Todays Lesson.

    I am so close to a big goal I can taste it! I decided to add a few coins to the pile today to reduce it to an easy one day hunt which will happen tomorrow. God willing. I drove to a park that is close but which has never really treated me kindly. Lot of steps between digs and the soil is...

    Saturday Story

    Woke up and the first thing I thought was, no way! No hunt today. So... [attachment 318545 082915-1.JPG] [attachment 318546 082915-2.JPG] And nothing out of the ordinary happened. Pity... Chris When did they put the old lady from The Waltons on a coin?

    Hypocritical Oaf

    Are you tired of my stories yet? OK then. Story 1. I got booted from the second site I went to. I will try to be succinct. I had the permission from a town official to treasure hunt in a park but the guy who gave it to me was fired awhile ago. So when I was asked today if I had...

    A hunt, and a story....

    I went out today to see how quickly I could dig 100 coins. I picked out a park that used to be good for clad and jewelry and began. I was immediately confronted by two young boys who wanted to try. I explained my goal to them and they seemed very interested in participating. One got the...

    Quick hunt for silver.

    I went to a place I have hammered for silver over the years with a 12 inch coil on my GTI 2500. I went wanting a silver coin in a bad way. There are purists who say a coin must be at least 50% silver to be called a silver coin. I don't subscribe to that interpretation so my 35% silver war...

    Off and On like Grilled Scallops

    Off and on. Hot and cold. This is the third weekend in a row that I went three days in a row. Saturday. Lots of coins including a Sac. Small sterling ring. Junk ring. Dolphin chain (junk). Panda fob (junk). Here's a photo: [attachment 318276 082215-1.JPG] Sunday. Today. Lots of...

    Hey Gang!!!!!!!!!

    For no reason that I can figure out, I put my detectors away one day and just quit treasure hunting. In 2013 I went out around 25 times, and last year I only went twice. If anybody remembers, there was a time when I was obsessive about treasure hunting. A few weeks ago I felt motivated to try...

    Nothing too special.

    Last weekend. Nothing but clad. [attachment 243637 090212-1.JPG] Yesterday. A little better. Cool cross. 1903 V Nickel. Nothing too great except a nice afternoon. [attachment 243638 090912-1.JPG] [attachment 243640 090912-2.JPG] The story from yesterday is this. I needed to charge...

    Did our old friend go out two days in a row? Did he find silver again? Did he find gold? Is he back to detect and post full time? (Answers within.)

    Yes. No. Yes. Probably not. I did go out again today for two more hours. I was shocked to get another 10K ring. And very happy to find gold on back to back hunts! It has been a long time. It might look like plate in the photo because of that black gunk. It had a sizer on it and some of...

    The year without silver......The year without gold.....

    Hey Gang Did you read that title? Sometimes you just get lucky. First dig of the day, dime: [attachment 241516 081812-2.JPG] Nearly the last dig of the day, 10K: [attachment 241523 081812-3.JPG] The rest: [attachment 241515 081812-1.JPG] Finally got some rain and the temps were low...

    NBC (Nothing but clad)

    On vacation for a while. Been terribly hot, far too hot to detect. Cooler today so I figured what the heck. My silver coin/ring drought is still in effect. It's been awhile. Last dig was the coin from Costa Rica and was as good a reason to stop as any, I suppose. 119 coins which is the...

    Back to normal today.

    Well two hunts in one week is sort of a record for me lately. I figure I need 30 similar hunts to hit 50K coins lifetime, which I kind of wanted to do in 2011. I started using Garretts in 2007. That would have made it 5 years to 50K which had a nice ring to it. I actually started in June...

    Find of the year and it's only my 6th hunt!!!!!!

    OK. Not detecting much. Said that before. Not visiting here too often. Been there. I really fancied a treasure hunt today and planned a long one. It started out bad when I left the lunch I had packed on the roof of my car and somewhere between home and the gas station it fell off. I...
