    ND Token Found In MN:help:

    Went to a city park near where I live yesterday for about 3 hours. This park has been hunted to death (almost). I did squeak out one damaged wheat penny, but could not read the date. Also, found the token pictured here, which I thought was going to be silver. It was deep, 8 inches, and gave...

    Abandoned Farmstead for Two Hours Tuesday Morning

    Got permission to hunt an old abandoned farmstead only about 5 miles from my home. The place still has several deteriorating buildings including the house, a detached garage (in the photo), a granary. There were cows in the yard and they stared at me for a time, and number 77 ( I was warned...

    Barber Found in City Park:detecting:

    Hunted for a bit over an hour before work this morning in a small community park. It is an old park which is not used much anymore except by local high school students who gather there at lunch and after school. I've hunted it before with my Explorer II and also my SE, and usually find a...

    An afternoon hunt:detecting:

    My wife gave me an E-Trac for Christmas. It's been working pretty well for me, and I'm getting more familiar with it. Was on the road today, finished work early, changed my clothes, and found a fairgrounds in this town and did some detecting. Didn't take long to find a 1939 wheatie. Then...

    The Value of a Silver Dime

    The spot price of silver today is running around 16.00 dollars per ounce. If you can't metal detect and find a silver dime, you can buy silver dimes for about $1.18 each. It's interesting to consider; the price of gasoline where I live is about $2.50 per gallon, which is just a bit more than...

    Birthday Dimes

    As you know, I live in Minnesota, but I'm visiting my son in warmer Idaho. Today is my birthday (55) and I was allowed to go metal detecting for 2.5 hours this afternoon. The temperature was 48 degrees at the Latah County Fairgrounds. I found these 5 dimes. My son, Peter, has a photography...

    Finally Found Fall Hunt Time - One Interesting Pendant

    Had some time last Tuesday morning and it was a gorgeous fall day here in Minnesota. I was in a community about 36 miles from home where there is a large public park next to a big lake. This park has been detected to death, so I was pretty surprised and pleased to come across this deep...

    An old wrench - any thoughts on how old?

    I live in the country which was farmland in the past. Today while detecting in the yard and set for all metal, I found the wrench in the photo. Does anybody know the history of wrenches, what era for this one?

    Found this pig on a boulevard across the street from a county fairgrounds site. It gave a signal like a quarter and was about 5 inches deep.

    Found Last Saturday During October Thunderstorm

    :yikes:My first Seated Liberty half was found during a thunderstorm with quite a bit of lightning around. I've heard some say that lightning enhances detecting; maybe it's true.

    First Seated Liberty For Me

    [attachment 66775 earlyaug07076m.JPG] [attachment 66774 earlyaug07074m.JPG] Have been out only a few times this summer and usually only for 2-4 hours at a time. Was metal detecting in England for a week the first part of April, though, which was quite different. Found the 1877 Seated...

    Not everyone can be a James ND!

    Had another outing for about an hour after work today. These are from an old farmstead. I also found a few clad coins and some farm-type things. There is still a lot of ground to cover there. [attachment 38643 farm10.23.0602.jpg] [attachment 38644 farm10.23.0601.jpg]

    After work :detecting: dimes

    Spent an hour after work at the dime store and dug up these two. The Barber was only down 3 inches and gave me a pretty good signal with variable digital readings 00 27; 07 27; 00 26, and the merc was 5 inches deep with quite consistent 03 29 readings. [attachment 38163 dimes10.18.06005.jpg]...

    Found Today in Old Park; 4 hours

    [attachment 36186 ricepark09.25.06002.jpg] I actually forgot to bring home everything; there were also a fuse, an electric outlet cover plate, and a bottle cap still attached to the top of a broken bottle. One of the pennies was found with a nickel and both sounds were heard at times...

    Allen from MI sent me a private message suggesting the whazzit piece from Great Grandpa's place was from an umbrella, and Jerry (JTalley007) also suggested it on the forum. Well, have a look at this site; http://www.rubylane.com/ni/shops/westcoastpickers/iteml/RL0707#pic6 Many thanks to...
