    A little of everything, including a Seated!

    Took a trip to a town about 50 miles from the Cape, to a park I've hunted a couple of times before. Had some decent luck there previously, including a nice seated dime. As soon as I got started, on the hill near the monument pictured, I began noticing a lot of filled plugs, and they were fairly...

    3 Better date finds in one hunt!

    [color=#000066]Ventured off the island today to an old town near Plymouth, to a place that I have hunted previously- looks like the front yards of several people's homes, but it's actually a public green. In the past, I've found a couple of Seated quarters and several other oldies there, so I...

    Not one but TWO 5-coin spills!

    Unfortunately only one was old! Took a trip to hit one of my favorite old parks, and re-worked an area where I've had previous success. First good signal was what sounded like a quarter, not deep. In the hole were 2 quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel. Not long after, I got a signal that was...

    What a difference some rain makes!!

    We finally got some much-needed steady rain here in Mass, so I took advantage of that, a rare day off during the week and a break in the rain to take a road trip to an old park I had hit previously in RI. It seemed like the wet ground brought the coins to life! Started off with a war nickel and...

    Nice old Large Cent!

    Since I moved down to Cape Cod, and NOT being a beach hunter, I have found it nearly impossible to find any decent, non-permission-required places to hunt. My better half showed me this small park in the next town over, and it's probably about 150 or so years old. I've been to it twice and have...

    Gold ring!

    Took a trip to an old favorite site, a large old park near a beach that I have hunted dozens of times. This place has yielded hundreds of old coins including an 1836 Capped Dime and several large cents, but NEVER did I find gold there.....until today! Finds were few, so I was digging essentially...

    Early season finds- Toasted LC & Silver

    Rough winter for me and most of us here in Mass- first all the snow and then elbow surgery (non-swinging arm). Both are done and I'm finally healthy enough to swing the machine and be able to dig- been out 3 times, hitting some old favorite places. Found a nice old toasted 1800 Draped Bust LC...

    Spanish Silver!!

    Taking advantage of this incredible weather here in Mass, my hunting partner Mike and I took a trip to Rhode Island to hunt a ball field in the middle of an old area of town. On the way there, Mike was telling me that he had yet to find a silver quarter or half with his new Minelab, and was...

    Trip to Seated Park equals Silver x 3!

    Had today off, weather was still nice enough, ground's not frozen yet, and Seated Park was calling my name. Hit a section with lots of hills at the bottom part of the park, just listening for those good hits I may have missed before- the ones with nails or other junk in there with the coins...

    Weekend hunts- silver & a key date Indian

    Took a trip to my old hometown yesterday and hunted 3 different parks, including Seated Park, for virtually the entire day. Was lucky enough to find keepers at each park. Park #1 yielded a badly stained 1877 Seated dime. The second park produced a pair of silver dimes (45 Merc and 52 Rosie) and...

    Hunt with Ed from Upstate NY

    First off, thanks Ed for making the loooong trek down here to Mass! Ed and I hadn't hunted together for years, so it was very cool to spend the day out there. We hit a couple of parks in Pawtucket/Providence RI- sadly the finds didn't meet our hopes. At the first site, I got what sounded like...

    Best Indian from weekend hunts

    Cleaned up the Indians from this past weekend's hunts- most came out lousy except for this one- 1874, Full Liberty- really nice. HH All! -- Jeff --

    Weekend Hunts, including a trip to Seated Park...

    Can only mean one thing- MORE SEATEDS! Friday I took a trip to Newton to a park near my cousin's home- found the 1868 Seated dime (only 464,000 minted), 1895, 1899 & 1902 Indians and several early (none with mm) wheats. Sunday I went to my old hometown to my all-time favorite site, which I...

    Hunting team adds new member!!

    On September 21, my youngest son Ryan and his better half Shauna welcomed their son, and my grandson Haydn into the world. All the family is doing fine. Team Massoud has now grown to 4 as I have my oldest grandson Jason using my old Fisher and joining Ryan and me. As soon as Haydn can swing a...

    Some recent silver finds..

    I had the "need" to take a couple of trips to my old home town, visiting my favorite "Seated" park once and another old favorite park the other time. Found all of these coins in areas I'd gone over previously, usually with a rusty nail or something similiar in the hole. The 1911-D Barber...

    Favorite park delivers again!

    Took a trip yesterday to my favorite "Seated" park in my old home town. Hunted the area pictured- a spot that I, and others, have hit too many times to count. Worked slow and dug all the iffy signals. Time after time I'd find an Indian right next to a piece of junk. One signal that hopped all...

    Couple of Mercs

    Took a ride to Rhode Island to re-hunt a couple of parks where I've had very good success in the past. Finds were not nearly as abundant as in previous trips but did find 2 Mercs, a real nice 1923 and a 1930-S that I nicked on the rim (I HATE that- good thing it wasn't a 16-D!). Also found a...

    Large cent and a few other pennies

    Took a ride to the location in Rhode Island where I found the Half Cent a couple of months ago, hoping for some old silver. Not to be! Finds, even good signals, tend to be few at this location, but they're usually old, so it's worth the torture on the old arms. Probably got a half-dozen decent...

    Another Barber Quarter!

    Took a trip to Fall River to hook up with my regular hunting partner and we hit a park that we've hunted many times before. Things started slowly with just a couple of wheats, then I got a very weird hit, which turned out to be a 1916 wheat, stuck to a 1946 Nickel in the same hole with a 1945-P...

    After 2 LONG months in hibernation...

    I was FINALLY able to wake up my SE Pro and go do some hunting. Hit a couple of old standby parks over the weekend, and found a 1909 Barber quarter- many scratches on the obverse, not put there by me!, a 1936 Merc which is not pictured due to amount of rust stained on both sides which I am...
