    Looks like no hunting for a while :-(

    I guess Mother Nature decided to get even with me- no hunting or hammocking for a while- maybe a LONG while- since it's supposed to be very cold right into February.. Oh well, HH to those who are still able to- C'mon spring! Jeff

    Not one cent, but.....

    My second Half Cent! Took a ride to Rhode Island yesterday to an old stomping ground and didn't find much. Good signals were few are far between, but I managed to pop this one out- really bad shape. Gave it the peroxide bath and had to use some Deller's Darkner on it just to bring out enough...

    Thank you Mother Nature!

    A little over a week ago, we got a foot of snow then bitter cold for a few days. But Mama Nature apparently decided to give us a break, because after a 45 degree Friday, it was nearly 60 with rain Saturday. Another mid-40 degree day on Sunday and time to take advantage! Took a ride to a...

    Weekend Road Trip

    Amazingly, the weather cooperated enough for me to take another trip to my favorite old "Seated Park", and as it has done SO MANY times in the past, it gave me another seated coin- an 1876 dime, the 30th seated coin (25th dime) that I have been fortunate enough to find at this park. Also scored...

    Last hunt of the year??

    With the weather getting nasty, work schedule getting really busy and the holiday season upon us, who knows if there'll be any other hunts this year- Hope so! Just in case, I took a road trip to my old home town to re-hunt one of my old favorite parks. Had a nice day with 25, 27 & 43-D Mercs, a...

    More recent finds!

    Still re-visiting sites I've already hit, and the finds keep on coming. This past Thursday I found the 1861 Seated Quarter and 1857 Seated Dime (both in rough shape but I'll take them!), and yesterday, on my second hunt ever with my son, I found the 1913 Barber and 1930 Mercury Dimes. My son...

    Almost a Twin Trifecta!!

    Haven't done much detecting lately due to injuries, but finally feeling up to start hunting again full-time. Took a road trip to Newport, RI to re-hunt a couple of parks that I've had great success at in the past, using my XS and stock coil. Now that I have the SE Pro & SEF 10 x 12, my plan is...

    Trip to see Mom... AND Seated Park!

    As Ed in Upstate NY can attest, there is a huge park in the city I used to live in, that I affectionately call Seated Park, as I've now found 30 seated coins there through the years. Fortunately mom still lives there, so naturally I planned to see mom today and somehow my detector made the trip...

    First finds with SE Pro

    Hi All! As a LONG TIME Explorer XS user, I finally took a plunge and added an SE Pro to the arsenal. I've taken it back to a few sites that produced very well with my XS and produced even more when I put the SEF 10 X 12 on it. I immediately noticed the lighter feel compared to the XS with X-1...

    Probe recommendation question....

    Hi all, I am contemplating purchasing an SE Pro to go along with my XS and was wondering if anyone could recommend a solid performing, reliable handheld probe. I have an X1 on my XS, but I've had both elbows operated on fairly recently and am looking to do anything I can to lighten the load so...

    Pics from 11/4 as promised

    I know I promised these yesterday, but I had some camera issues, sorry. Seem to have them resolved, so here are the pics of the hunt I described a few days ago. Over the years I have been to this small park 11 times with my XS and stock coil, finding a large amount of silver, Indians and others...

    Few recent road trips

    Had the week of Hurricane Sandy off as a vacation week, naturally, but I did manage to hunt a little before and after she hit. Made a trip to Plymouth and a couple of trips to my favorite Seated Park, and pictured are the finds. Probably sounding like a broken record by now, and I should...

    More finds from SLQ park

    A couple of weeks ago I posted a nice 1917 SLQ I found at a park that I had previously thought was cleaned out. At Bryce's suggestion, I purchased an SEF 10 x 12 coil and have since basically rehit the entire park (not quite done yet). Including wheats, in 7 trips (1 rain-shortened yesterday) I...

    Rest of finds from 9/20- Indians & Merc & other SLQ's

    Hi all, One of the folks who commented on my SLQ was disappointed I didn't put pics up of the Indians, as he was a big fan of those, so here they are- I apologize but my camera is (like me) old, and I'm not a great photographer. The top 2 are the 1864's (no L's to be seen) and the bottom 2 are...

    First Fall hunt- nice SLQ!

    Haven't been out since May, and was really looking forward to it. Went to a park in Plymouth that I had previously hunted hard and came up with well over 150 keepers in the past. First time there with my new SEF coil, and I cannot believe what I missed. About 10 inches down, I popped out this...

    Previous 2 week's finds

    Finally had some time off over the past couple of weekends, and made a few trips to places I've hunted previously, from a few times to many dozens (like Ed in Upstate NY, I have my own "Seated Park"). The 3 different trips yielded a few keepers, including 3 silver dimes, (of course the Merc's a...

    Amazing weather, amazing key-date SLQ!

    Hi all, I haven't posted much over the past year as I had to have shoulder surgery last spring and it essentially took away my hunting (and golfing) season. I did manage to get out a few times before the calendar changed, and thanks to a location a friend gave me down here in Cape Cod, I...

    Seeking Beach Hunting Advice

    Hi All, I have been a member of this forum for many years, hunting with an XS since '04. I lived in a city in SE Mass, and have found a tremendous amount of coins in old parks with my Explorer. Thing is, I have NEVER hunted a beach and earlier this year, I moved to Cape Cod. I am here seeking...

    Hi All, Haven't had too much time to hunt lately, although I did manage a few recent hunts and popped out a few Mercs and this silver medal. I can't seem to find any info on it- can anyone help me ID it?? Thanks and HH. Jeff in Mass

    Remember March 2008's Pine Tree Shilling? Look what came today...

    Hi all, Those familiar with the forum will probably remember my best ever find last year- just thought I would share the results. Pics tell it all. Jeff in Mass
