    Big City gives up a couple......

    Went into the big city yesterday for my last cancer checkup and all went well.....DONE with all that crap! Weather was great and I got in 4 hrs of hunting and turned up these. The wheats were 1912, '23, '26, '44. Couldn't find a place to park by one of the curb strips I wanted to re-hunt so...

    silvers & wheats

    Been raining like crazy around here lately but I had a little window today so I raced down to a little park I've been working in the next town. I went there to see if I could scare up some more nickels but upon my arrival I see TONS of kids all over the 1 acre park so I'm cussin big time! I go...

    couple buffies & some sterling

    FPD's post inspired me to go out today so I went down the road to the Podunk town where the little 1 acre park has given me a couple keepers in the past. Got in 4 hrs today and scrounged up the ring and the rest. I do have to go into the Big City for (hopefully) my LAST (?) cancer checkup and...

    Pretty slim around here and these are from 2 hunts at 2 different parks 35mi down the road. First hunt, 1 wheat, 1 merc...second hunt 1 V , 1 wheat. The one little park is about 3/4 maybe 1 acre and so far it's given up 10 silver dimes, 2 buffies, 1 V, 2 silver jewelry. Just about the time I...

    got a couple today......

    Last night I hit the courthouse for 1.5 hrs. and found the Rosie. Today I hit the little Burg down the road and a little park I hunt off and on and found the Merc's. Heart skipped a beat when I seen the '16 merc had a mint mark. Got it home where I could read the mint mark and as usual, an s...

    Public grind........

    Just grinding it out in the usual public spots for a crumb here or there lately. These are from 4 hunts and I haven't been door knocking (or I should say...haven't had any success door knocking lately, rejections) or any trips to the big city. I have 1 permission I've been after for 2 yrs now...

    got started....then rained out

    Been out a couple times re-hunting public ground here in Podunk that I've re-re-hunted over and over, etc. etc. No luck in Podunk so on Sunday the sun came out (briefly) and I headed an hour and a half down the road to a small town to check out the school there (1920's-30's ?). Started with...

    something kinda neat happened today......

    The other day I was driving thru Podunk and noticed the old gas station right downtown had been torn down and no frost in the fresh dirt. So I called up the owner and get the go ahead. Weather warmed up to 39 degrees and off I go to hit the tear out. Hunted about 3 hrs today which was nice...

    2015 coins breakdown.......

    Another season in the books! I had 3 goals I'd set and managed to reach 2 of them. First goal was to quit digging as many new clad/zinc coins as last year. Last year dug $253 worth and my guesstimate for this last year should be about $150 worth so I nailed that goal and will continue to work...

    probably my end of the season.........(?)

    most likely the last stuff this season? Found the Rosie a few days ago here in Podunk on some public ground, the ground was starting to freeze up then. Is this bell thingy my first "crotal bell", I see you guys back east dig in the fields? It has a nice ring sound to it and the cats luv it...

    the ugliest, crusty, thinest Barber you'll ever see....

    Merc is pretty ruff also....but that's Podunk for ya. Finally stumble onto a decent coin and it's toasted...lol These are from several hunts around Podunk last week. Did 5 privates recently and no silver but tons of wheats. Interesting story behind the crusted Barber (189?) which just...

    tokens & tags......

    Pouring down rain here for the last few days (we REALLY need it) so I've been sidelined. Decided to clean out my over flowing treasure chest of some of the crap. I've always pretty much been a coin shooter but lately I've taken an interest in the tokens, tags, etc. so I set these aside for some...

    another tuff week......

    Six days worth of hunting here in Podunk. 3 privates yielded all the wheats except 3 and not even a rosie. The merc, cool cactus, 3 wheats came from the little park I've been working last Fri. Think I've about got it to the best of my abilities as it took 4 hrs to scare up 4 coins. Called on...

    another BIG one......!!

    Got ya to look didn't I...????? Nope, not another Morgan unfortunately but I thought it was kinda neat and I've also never dug an Ike before. It's been a real slow grind for me lately and my last 3 privates have only yielded me 1 rosie, 3 wheats, and the Ike. The china coin, the other 3...

    last weeks trash & treasure

    got the merc, ring, and war nickel out of the little park I've been hitting lately. Found the two tokens on 2 individual privates. Yesterday I was out-of-town in a little burg up north visiting friends and hit 3 privates doorknocking, first two doorknocks were "no" and 3rd one a yes...

    still on the grind......

    found the merc and the neat silver pendant with some kind of neat black/silver stone or ball (?) yesterday in that little park I've been working last few days. The wheats, tax tokes and rosies came off a mid-40's private I finished up today.......... Gonna buy a chain for the pendant and give...

    weekend stuff........

    That little park gave up another 4 silvers Sat. & Sun. on top of the merc and buffie last week. The few targets I'm digging have all been in the 7-9" range, including the Rosies!!! The locals have done a good job of cleaning off the top crap under 6" so about the only targets left are the...

    buffies & mercs..........

    Been on the "grind" in the public areas and got a buffie and a merc in Idaho last Thurs. and the same today (Sun.) over here in Podunk also on the public ground. Today for sheets & giggles I slapped on the Ultimate and hit a park down the road that I've never done any good at before but never...

    water hunt ?????'s

    I'll be going out of state for a couple days chasing an old resort and a couple other sites that have to be accessed by boat. If I have time I'll try and take advantage of the low water levels on some beaches. It's been a LONG time since I've dug any "under water" type coins and if I remember...
