    Pine Tree Shiiling update

    Hi all, For those of you who remember, I found a Pine Tree Shilling last March. After a long and tedious process, it is about 15 minutes away from being auctioned off LIVE in Long Beach. Internet and mail bids, which ended last night, brought it up to $1800. I'm hoping to get a couple of folks...

    Update on Pine Tree Shilling

    Hi all, Well, I FINALLY have the decision on my Shilling and here it is- the pic can tell the story. Good news or what???? I'm retired until the end of golf season, so this was just great to see that grade. HH all- talk to you in the fall Jeff in Mass

    Found a couple of different keepers

    The rain finally went away late Sunday afternoon, so I snuck out to my local "Seated Park" and hit some of the areas that I've been re-working, with pretty good success. First good signal was about 8" deep and gave that XS silver sound, and since I've been over this park a number of times, I was...

    No Pine Tree Shilling this time, but some nice coins anyway

    Hi All! I guess after finding that Pine Tree, anything else must be considered a little let down, but my last couple of trips out have yielded some real nice coins anyway. Attached are a couple of pics showing the majority of the finds. Not pictured are about 18 wheats, 3 Indians and a '52...

    FIND OF MY LIFETIME!!!!! Are you ready for this??

    Hi All! Obviously, gotta tell the story first- I actually found this Saturday March 15, but have been shaking too much to type! I started working with a new guy at my job two weeks ago. As we got to know each other, I told him about my hobby and asked him where he lived and he told me a pretty...

    Good Day / Bad Day

    Hi All! Weather here in Mass was strange and interesting today - sunny and beautiful one minute, dark and rainy the next, then sunny, cold and windy a few minutes after that. My day of hunting took on the same highs and lows. Managed to sneak out to an old local park between the rain and snow...

    Help ID'ing Buckle

    Hi All, My hunting buddy and I hit an old farm in Rhode Island, with not much success at all. I did manage to squeeze out an 1886 Indian and this buckle. It is about the size of a half dollar. Can anyone provide me any information as to the type, period, etc. of this buckle??? Thanks in...

    3 1/2 of the way to a dime slam!

    Literally! I hit an old park in a town where I used to live and have hunted previously with some success, but have not hunted it with my Explorer. Once the frost melted away this morning, the deep, old silver signals were jumping at me. I started with a 1901 Barber and the dimes continued to...

    Dusted off the XS to start the season- nice mix of finds!

    Hi All, Been a long, hot, dry, busy, etc., etc., summer here in Mass and I haven't even looked at my machine for many months, until the end of this past week. I posted some nice finds I made at the home of a former co-worker of mine last November, and since it was an open invitation, I thought...

    Career Best Day of Mixed Finds

    Hi All! Haven't posted lately as I haven't been out hunting much at all- but it's TH season now and it started with a bang! I got to hunt the house of a friend I used to work with, an old vic dating back to the mid 1800's. Here's my personal best day's totals- 1847 Large Cent 1860, 1862, 1863...

    Help with Token/Coin ID

    Hi everyone! Haven't been able to post lately due to cold weather here in Mass and because I had to have my appendix removed last Monday. Hopefully my health and the weather will cooperate and I'll be back in action in another week or two. I'm wondering if anyone can help me ID this coin or...

    Two "Firsts"

    Hi All, My friend had knee surgery last week and has been cooped up for over a week. Not one to be immobile, he's been itching just to get out of the house. He asked me to take him out MD'ing, just so he could walk a little with me. We went to a gathering area in a small nearby RI town, and...

    Nice Merc & a Large Cent

    Hi All, Found these two on Monday. After the first light cleaning, I thought the large cent was a Liberty Cap type, as I could swear I saw the triangular shaped bonnet at the back of her head. Unfortunately, when I got the dirt off, that bonnet was not there at all, revealing a worn, corroded...

    Happy Day After New Year's Finds

    Happy New Year All!! The small amount of snow we got on New Year's day was just about totally gone on the 2nd, so I ran over to my favorite seated park for a couple of hours, and it delivered again. Hunting in an area that I have hit many times previously, it seemed the combination of...

    HO! HO! HO! "Half" a Christmas Present!

    Forgive the corny title! Hope everyone got what they hoped for this Christmas. The weather's cooperated greatly around here lately, so much so that I was able to hit my favorite park the day after Santa came. Little did I know he was going to come again on Monday. I had hunted for a few hours...

    Key Date Barber Half!!

    Hi all! Went to a park in a nearby city that I've hunted many times before with quite a few decent finds. Just got started and got one of "those" signals that we Minelab users know as being two objects in the same hole, and one sounded pretty darn good! Pinpointed at 6+", so I cut a plug about...
