    Two evening hunts last weekend

    I managed a couple late day hunts at my IH park this weekend - Fri & Sun. Fri I managed a worn Washington and a few IHs and wheats. Sun found a few IHs and wheats. (also a few neat artifacts). Both nights I went over areas I had hit prevously. The Washington was only a few inches down but it was...

    Sunday 7/3 hunt - plus need help w/bullet ID

    Went to my park Sunday and had to try to stay under the trees part of the time to avoid the light rain. I was happy to pop out another seated dime and a few more IHs. I found a bullet that I'm not familiar with. It's got a very sharp nose and it's solid. I took a few shots of it next to a penny...

    Friday hunt made big cents

    Couldn't stay away from my IH park - I had a couple hours before dark Friday. I hit a spot I'd been over before and found four more IHs. Then I went back to the spot where I found the Barber quarter last Sunday to continue where I left off. About 10 feet from where I found the Barber I popped up...

    Last minute silver !

    I went back to my old standby spot (IH park) Sunday for a couple hours. My luck has been good there and the spot is consistent in giving many targets. I've covered about 80% of the park since last September and because of it's size I've been giving it an initial "skim" in most parts (a little...

    Spanish silver - it's worn, but I'll take it !

    I had a chance to get back to my park for awhile Sun pm. I had found a nice dime trifecta there Fri pm and they all came from the same general area. I figured I'd start out where I left off and in about 20 min I got a nice, but weak silver type signal. It was just a few feet from where I found...

    Dime trifecta at IH park - ended with a Merc! PSYCHED !!

    I didn't know how the weather was going to be this weekend so I headed to IH park for a couple hours Fri night. I hit one section and didn't get any interesting signals. I'm only digging deeper signals because otherwise I'd be digging newer stuff all day and the "community" SWAT snipers would...

    IH park again - no community SWAT team but older silver !

    Sun I went back to IH park for the first time since I ran into the "community vigilane lady" last month. No sign of her but a police car cruised through the park while I was there. They kinda just checked me out as they passed and I nodded to them to let them know I was aware of them passing...

    Seated silver ! Also ID needed

    The only time I could get in any swingin' Memorial Day weekend was for a couple hours Friday evening. I decided to revisit a spot my Buddy and I had hit a couple years ago. It is an 18th century house that was being rennovated and I got permission from the new owner at the time. Last week I...

    Ever had Lincoln jump right out at you?

    I hit my back-up park again this week (still lying low on IH park because of the community vigilante lady). I got a funky penny range signal, found the target and when I picked it up I saw Lincoln comming right out of the penny at me! Appears to be some kind of commemerative pin where a bust of...

    Met my first "community do-gooder vigilante"

    I had a couple hours on Friday to do some swingin' so I headed for my favorite "IH" park. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a woman and a man watching me. This is common, mostly curiosity so I didn't think much of it. She then approached me and started complaining about what I was doing. She...

    Double twin silver and the Indians never give up

    Going back to the park I've been hitting is like eating potato chips - I can't stop. I want to go out and try new spots but this park is producing so well that I can't leave it alone. After I've finished a complete once-over I'll try to get out and about. My hunting time is limited so I'm...

    It was a "GOOD" Friday Easter egg hunt

    I had a few hours Friday so I headed for my old standby - IH park. My most interesting find was an 1864 2 center. Interesting thing is that Great Republic and I each found a 2 center on Good Friday and we're both in Ct! The park is still producing a good ratio of IHs and early wheats. My finds...

    Quite an assortment this weekend!

    Hunting time is slim so I got back to my favorite current spot - My IH park. Nine IHs (1883, 1897, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1906, 1908 and two "toasted", dateless ones) Eleven wheats (including five pre-1920). A German 2 phennig - 1912 One Buffalo nickel One well worn Draped LC - I think the date might...

    1st time at IH park this year - never dissapoints!

    Had some time Sunday to get back to my "IH" park. It never fails me - loaded with IHs and early wheats. It also regularly gives up all sorts of unusual surprises. Found 16 more wheats (incl 1911, 1912, 1917, 1918, 1918D, 1919) and 6 IHs (fattie 1859, 1875, 1891, 1898, 1901, 1902). Also found was...

    Second hunt - second token

    I went back to a location I hit last April. An 18th cent. house had been torn down but the surrounding area was fairly overgrown. Last yearI pulled two silver washingtons out of the same hole and I managed to find a beautiful 19th cent two piece hunting button - Had a stag being overtaken by a...

    First time out - spot checked a few locations.

    Sunday was my first official time out (last Sun I poked for about 1/2 hr - few wheats). First hit a field with little results. Second was a patially drained pond. TONS of trash!! My friend found 2 IHs and a 3-ringer bullet - I found clad and a live crawfish ( tossed him into the water -...

    Help...feel faint....need to find....warmer temperatures....

    Enough is enough !!! Big snow is almost all gone here in Ct. Rivers are swollen and much flooding from rains earlier this week. Heavy rain for today into tomorrow. MAYBE I'll find a spot to hit this weekend that's not frozen or under water. Wait...I think I hear Spanish silver calling - or is it...

    1st 2011 hunt - not pretty but I'll take it!

    Temps were pushing 50 in Ct on Sat but I couldn't get out. I did manage an hour or so on Sun before the rain. I went back to my "go to" spot like I did two weeks ago. My 1st find was a 1902 IH. Also found a 1919 wheat and another 1902 IH. Nothing great but I'll take it! Hopefully it's a sign of...

    OK - What is your finds goal for 2011?

    I've got a number of things on my wish list such as an 8 reale, seated half, more colonial silver, morgan dollar. My goal though, is something capped or bust in silver. I had the same goal for 2010 but didn't hit it. I found alot of coppers of different types and a few seated pieces, 3 cent...
