    Standing Liberty quarter.

    Haven't been here in a while. Haven't been hunting much because of my bad shoulder. Anyway went out today at a new site and found a Standing Liberty quarter. Was my first signal. 11-47. Knew it was good. It was only 3 inches down. Dug a small plug and there it was. When you see the side of the...

    Basic coin, jewelry model recommendations?

    Hello, My brother and his daughter (14 yrs old) are interested in trying metal detecting. They know I have a detector and have seen my finds. I can't seem to find the time to lend mine out to them. So my brother thinks he would rather just buy a new one. I have a Minelab E-Trac, So I wouldn't...

    New detecting area.

    Hello all, Haven't posted here in a long time. Have almost given up detecting. Meaning, it gets discouraging to detect the same old parks and sites only to find nada. Got a permit to hunt an private area today. Very large area. It was built up in 1929. Will let you know what I find. Dan

    First double silver day.

    First day out hunting this year. Was a nice day here finally. Went to the same school yard I was hitting last year which produced many silver coins. In less than one hour I found 4 wheaties and 2 Roosies. The silver coins are 1948 and 1954. Pic of the silver coins is attached. These are the...

    Gold ring and silver dime.

    Hello, Haven't been here lately or hunting either. This summer was so hot here in the midwest. Now the weather is really nice but the sun sets so early. By the time I get home from work it's almost dark. So tonight I decided to do a little nite hunting. Same equipment as normal just brought a...

    First silver this year.

    Haven't posted here since last year. Nothing to post. I have been reading though. Nice to read about and see all of the goodies you all have been digging up. I don't get out to hunt nearly as much as I used to. Am working again. Got re-hired last Nov. after 2 years of being unemployed. This...

    Got a job = less detecting.

    Hello, I got re-hired last Monday at the factory I quit two years ago. Whew, I thought I would never find a new job. Not bad timing since winter is almost upon us in the midwest. Chicago area. Detecting will be limited to weekends weather permitting. Oh well. I will be making more money working...

    Baseball city......1946 Rosie.

    Hello, Went back to Baseball city this afternoon. A couple of friends of mine and I have been hitting this park almost every day lately. It still produces silver even though it's been hunted to death for a long time. Today one of my friends found a 1918 S Mercury dime there. Very nice coin. I...

    1957 Roosevelt dime.

    Hello, Went back to baseball city today. This is a park that has been hunted to death, but I have found 9 silver coins there since this spring. I keep going back because the E-Trac is great at finding silver. Especially iffy deep silver coins. I don't find alot of silver coins so getting them...

    First Barber dime. 1904.

    Went back to that same old park again today that me and some of my friends hunt. We call it Baseball city, because of all of the little league baseball fields that are near by. Found 2 wheaties (1950, 1932). Another coin that I thought was a wheatie turned out to be an Indian head. It was mostly...

    1951 Roosevelt dime. Pics plus first video.

    Hello, Went out hunting this afternoon for about an hour. Same park where I found the Merc the other day. Only found one coin. 1951 Roosevelt dime. Brought my video camera with me and made my first video. It's my first so it is pretty bad. I don't know why it's so blurry in the beginning. At...

    7 Wheaties, one Indian, and a Merc.

    Hello, Went back to one of the same old parks I usually hunt. Decided to try a different area only because the ground there was not rock hard as the rest of the park. In just a small area there I found seven wheaties, my first Indian head penny, and a 1944d Mercury dime. Weird that I didn't...

    Platinum ring.....

    Hello, I just had to post this. Five of us went out to hunt an old park this afternoon. Three were brothers plus me and another friend. Me, one of the brothers and the other friend had E-Trac's. One of the other brothers had an SE and the last had an old whites......that would be Jimmy. I don't...

    One silver coin every few weeks.

    Hello, I basically only hunt two parks near me. I live in the suburbs and these parks are the oldest ones around that are known to produce silver that I know of. I do hunt other parks, but they only produce clad. Today me and three of my metal detecting friends went to one of the parks. It has...

    Finally got another silver dime.

    Hello, I have read a lot of posts here where people clean up on silver and other nice coins. No such luck for me. Guess I just can't find the right place. Location, location. Where to hunt? I must have dug over a 1,000 plugs since my last silver coin. Am not complaining. Detecting is great. I...

    Gold ring with diamonds. I wish.

    Hello, Went hunting by a school near me today. Found plenty of clad. Clad is ok. It pays for the gas, and a dinner or lunch. Got a nice signal and dug up this ring. I thought it might be real at first, but I doubt it now. I'm not an expert on gold rings. One of these days I'll find the real...

    How can you tell if something is really silver?

    Hello, I found this pendant today and am wondering if it's silver. It came in as 12-44. It came out of the ground just like a silver coin. Just a little dirt on it. There are no silver markings or numbers on it. I don't think it's plated because there are no flaked off areas. How can one tell...

    Digging Tool

    Hello, I bought my e-trac from Kellyco. It came with, what they said, was over $500 in accessories. Most of which were useless. The Pro Leather Waist Treasure Pouch fell apart in about a week. The Razor Edge Gator Digging Tool is equally useless. It bent the first time I tried to pull up a...

    27 clad in one hole.

    Hello, No biggie, but thought I would post it. I thought of a different park by me and decided to hunt it. It was made in 1964 so I thought there might be some silver there. Nice big park with a baseball field. I got there late in the evening and the mosquitoes were unreal. Even with repellent...

    1942 Mercury dime....

    Hello, I have been hunting this one park over and over. Have found several silver coins there, but it has been hunted so much most of the silver has already been found. This park also has a frisbee golf course on it and you can't hunt the fareways because there are always people playing. Some of...
