    Sunken ghost town finds....1880s finds

    Hunted a sunken ghost town today that was submerged in the 1950s or 60s but was founded in the late 1800s. Found two indian head pennies, a son of civil war vets medal, warranted flask and porcelain cherub figure. All items seem to date to the 1880s.

    Thin ornate possibly silver

    This rang up in the nickel range. It is thin and ornate and looks old. Found in 1800s park. Came out of the ground shiny and looks like it could be silver. Was in very wet ground so it is tarnished. It is way too thin to be a spoon handle and the smaller end does not appear to be broken off of...

    New pinpoint technique

    I've added a new (but old) pinpointing technique to my arsenal when hunting with the etrac. I used to run an old Whites machine and this technique comes from the manual for that machine. The technique is to, in normal hunting mode (not pinpoint mode), make an X over the target...by first...

    2nd war nickel of the week

    Well after a personal war nickel drought I found my second-ever war nickel in the same week I found my first-ever. This one also rang up in the standard nickel range...although I have read they sometimes ring up higher than a normal nickel. Both of my war nickels are 1943 Ps...but this one looks...

    Two silvers and a half

    These are my keepers from the past several hunts. I was hunting fairly modern ground so nothing super old...but still some nice finds. The half and war nickel are from a campground and the little silver ring from an elementary school. The war nickel is my first! Been looking for one for a long...

    Sterling ring, Kennedy half and Indian

    Hit a couple of different places yesterday with some good results. The sterling ring and 1981 Kennedy half were consecutive digs which was nice. The Indian was found in a park where they had been doing some excavating and was pretty much on top of the ground. Not sure why the Indian survived in...

    Results from 4 day hunting trip

    I took a 4-day long-distance road trip to New Jersey to hunt outside of my usual hunting grounds. Scored lots of clad and some nice silver coins, jewelry and spoon. Also found a small military button, 10 wheaties and a what appeared to be a very old copper or brass John Adams presidential coin...

    Susan B and USN Ring

    Went to a small 1870s park today and found a Susan B Anthony dollar and a child's USN ring. The ring Id'd as a nickel. Looks like it could have come from a cracker Jacks box or something like that. If you have any ideas let me know.

    1944 Fifty Centavos - USA?

    Ok this one had me scratching my head at the park. A 1944 fifty centavos coin marked United States of America...and Filipinas. As I now know from research the coin was minted when the Philippines was a US territory. It's 75% silver and between the size of a US half dollar and US quarter. It...

    Barber Park gives up another

    The coin gods at Barber Park let another one out into the sunlight. This time a 1902 P dime. My streak at this park continues...all silver finds have been barbers. Also found a crusty buffalo. I haven't been lucky enough to find ground that is kind to copper so unfortunately the Buffalo is a...

    Barber Park Strikes Again

    Went to one of my favorite old parks that has been pounded over the years but still hides some goods. So far I've pulled six silver coins from this park and every one has been a barber...4 dimes a quarter and a half dollar. Yesterday's hunt got me an 1892 dime...first year for barbers and two V...

    Who spends all of their clad?

    I'm curious how many of us spend our clad vs depositing it in the bank or coinstar. After a run in the tumbler I spend my clad...all of it. Even the coins that are crusty with bad or missing edges get spent as long as they are clean, somewhat shinny and recognizable. I found a little over 200...

    Barber trifecta completed

    This summer during a dry spell I went to a pounded park near me to do some basic tot lot hunting and totally by chance scored 2 barber dimes (my first ever barbers) and two buffalo nickles in the same deep hole underneath the tot lot.  Not at all what I set out to find that day but that is the...

    Lead or pewter flower shaped object

    Appears to be made out of lead or pewter. Found about as deep and near indian head penny so I believe it is old. What is it?

    Cool vintage Fisher

    I stumbled across this ad for a vintage fisher detector and just had to provide a link here. It looks super cool and the seller is not asking much. It's on craigslist. Have a look... http://chautauqua.craigslist.org/clt/5810638043.html

    1898 Barber Half Dollar

    Yesterday I found my first half dollar...and it just happened to be a nice 1898 Barber half dollar. I found it at a pounded city park no less. Not sure how this one eluded detectors for so long but I'm sure glad it did. It was between 7 and 9 inches deep. It read between 07-08 fe and 47 co on my...
