    What can it mean!!? Was it my fault?

    I hit my park Superbowl Sunday about 1:00. My first find was a NY GIANTS fob/keychain thing! What does this mean? Could I have affected the outcome of the Superbowl1? Was it MY fault? LOL. Also found a few keeper coins - will post after I have a chance to clean them a little. Bruce in Ct

    Took advantage of the warm Jan weather! Stuff is poppin'

    I thought Sunday Jan1, with temps around 50 deg in Ct would be the "last hurrah" for a couple months. Temps were in the 40's again this weekend so I had to make time. Friday I noticed a small section of sidewalk removal. Most of the section had new fill already put in so I put on the 6" DD and...

    First hunt of '12. Also 1 year totals for IH park.

    Weather was beautiful here in Ct on New Year's Day! Sunny and 50ish. Didn't have alot of time so I went to my old standby - "IH Park". I can always count on this spot producing something, so I use it as a "go to" spot. I've picked at it for about a year now and I think there have been only two...

    Gun part from cellar hole site

    Friday 12/23 was warm here in Ct. Mostly overcast and a few very light sprinkles - but in the 50's! HAD to get out!! I hit an old cellar hole spot I had been to a few times before over the past couple years. My takes in the past were: 6 coppers including 3 draped, a three cent silver, about 20...

    A little copper & a little silver (+ military hat device?)

    Did a short hunt at IH park Sunday. This time I tried my exc. 6 in. DD coil for the first time at this location. First target I dug was a small sterling ring at about 3 inches. The site is still giving up IHs and wheats but no silver coins this time. The photo shows a brass or copper "letter"...

    All coppers are beautiful ! Lol

    Last Sunday I hit a wooded area where I found an IH and a couple keys. Wednesday the weather was so great that I had to leave work early and do some swingin' before it got dark (sunny and 60ish here in Ct). I headed for a spot near where I was last Sunday. Very few targets but I did manage to...

    More "stuff" from the woods

    I hit a wooded area Sunday afternoon for the sake of doing SOMEWHERE before dark. Only coins I found were an 1880 IH and 3 wheats from the '40's. Two keys - one is iron. It was squeakin' at me enough for me to get curious. Also found a ball of lead fairly deep. At first I thought it was a large...

    Edward & the Indians, flying eagle, Looney Tunes

    I had a good evening Friday at my IH park with the seated dime and a couple IHs - so you KNOW I had to go back for a while Sunday afternoon. Monday I had no phone or internet at my office (storm Sat) so I finished up some paperwork and headed over to the park again for a couple hours. Sunday I...

    IH park gives up another seated!! STOKED!

    Friday afternoon I found a couple hours to hit IH park. I'm almost finished with the first once-over of the whole park. When I poped this seated dime I couldn't believe the luster that it still had! (photo dosen't do it justice) This hunt results: Seated dime 1868 2 IHs 1876, 1900 4 wheats 1909...

    Squeaked another silver

    I had about an hour Sun so I hit my old standby park. I had the feeling I'd pop a silver this time. 3 wheats: 1912, 1913, 1940 1 merc 1917 1 Italian 5C 1928 porcelain drawer pull came up while I was digging an elusive .22 cal short shell ear ring looks like it might be Victorian and thimble is...

    Heart THUMPER !!

    Took my hunting buddy to a new spot I found last week when I only had time to spot check it and I found quite a few wheats. A short time after we got there he found a Barber dime right under the surface in the grass roots, so we knew the targets weren't all deep. After finding a few wheats I got...

    Meadow hunt Friday night

    I had a couple hours before dark Friday so I hit a meadow I've pounded for the last few years to see if I could stir something up. My hunting buddy and I have really hit this place and pulled out around 35 coppers, a couple 2 centers and a half cent (plus lots of flats and artifacts). I was...

    Large cent and little cents + stuff

    Back to my IH park Sunday night for a couple hrs. There was a patch of groung skimmed down about 3-4 inches where repairs were being done after a large tree had come down during the hurricane a few weeks ago. Not a big area but I managed a LC and a couple IHs. this time: LC 1852 6 IHs: 1882...

    Eagle head found on woods hunt - Opinions needed

    Sunday I got permission to hunt a small section of woods on the corner of two routes. The area is lousy with stone walls. I was surprised that the targets were so few but the area was not badly trashed. No coins at all, but early on I popped out an interesting eagle head. It was about 6 inches...

    Mix o' relics & need opinions on small buckle

    I got out for a couple hours Sun and went back to my IH park. First time in the year I've been hunting this park that I didn't find even one IH! I found 5 deep wheats: 1917, 1918, and 3 from the '20s. Relics included a broken flat button, a small padlock etc. I stopped breathing for a sec when I...

    Spot "screams" 1950's activity

    Friday night I hit the field where I found the 5 musket balls last week. Found one more and a wheat. Sunday I went back to the woods spot I hit a few weeks ago (see my 8/22 post). I had foud a couple Rosies and wheats plus artifacts last time. I think the area might have been used as a Boy Scout...

    Labor Day w/e: Old lead and UGLY silver !

    I got out to an old farm field Friday evening - only had a couple hours so I focused on one section. The mosquitoes were THICK. I applied a good amount of OFF and reapplied a couple times - still got the crap stung out of me! I found five lead ball shot - two dropped and three fired. Two buttons...

    Woods hunt Sunday - not too bad!

    I hit my IH park Friday and did ok - I'll post tomorrow. Sunday I was out cruisin' and checked out some woods. I ran across this chimney and stoneworks. It was near a hiking trail so I figured it had been hit 'bout a million times. Well, I'm here - so check it out. I dropped the coil and in a...
