    A First for Me...

    Howdy Still Looking 52-- Thanks. Yes, the pre-1900 coins have been few and far between for me lately. And it DID make my day! It's great to present one of our finds to the wife. I'm sure that she proudly wears that 1914 Barber Dime necklace. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    A First for Me...

    Howdy Still Looking 52-- Howdy Ronstar-- Thanks. Nice score on the turquoise ring and the repair. Hunting vacant lots or abandoned homes in the old part of town is the recipe for finding older coins and neat relics. At least that is my experience. I hope you find some old silver - or gold...

    A First for Me...

    Thanks Jim tn. Agreed. I remember a similar site - across the street from a church - that was a last resort to hunt. It just didn't look good at all. It turned out to be one of the best lots that I ever hunted. Between Kenneth and I we dug over 60 silver coins. I dug 37 plus several Buffalo...

    A First for Me...

    Howdy-- My buddy Kenneth and I were about to call it a day after a relatively unproductive hunt - a few clad coins and some small pieces of scrap copper and brass to go in the recycle bin. While heading to my house for Kenneth to drop me off, Kenneth spotted what appeared to be a gravel parking...

    1907 Barber and Brooch/pin

    Very nice finds Ace 350! You are lucky to have silver come out of the ground so nice. In my part of Texas, silver invariably comes out very stained, tarnished and or corroded. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Cal_Cobra MEETS AN INDIAN PRINCESS ON THE SPANISH TRAIL

    Howdy Cal_Cobra-- Your tenacity paid off - BIG TIME! Congratulations! You just proved that a site is never completely hunted out. That Type 2 $1 gold is a real dandy. Type 2's, for those that don't know, were only minted from 1854-1856 and your 1856-S is a rare date and in nice AU condition...

    Howdy Sataro-- I love that tag. I'd rather dig something like that than a Walking Liberty Half, and I love digging Walking Liberty's ! Excelent research on that tag too. I enjoyed reading it. Best of luck and... Happy Hunting! Blind Squirrel

    Good, bad and ugly

    Howdy laplander-- Congratulations on your FIRST Civil War era Eagle Button! If there is a backmark and you provide it, I can give you an approximate date of production? Also, good going on the Shield nickel. In 35 years of detecting, I've only dug 2 of them and neither has a legible date. Best...

    A couple of old large cents 1796 -1798?

    Howdy Mkus-- Congratulations on those 2 excellent Large Cent finds. They look like a 1798 Draped Bust and a 1795 Liberty Cap. On your 1795 Liberty Cap , check the edge - there are 3 different varieties : Plain edge (the most common), Lettered edge and the Reeded Edge (extremely rare). Best of...

    Last Hunt - Silver etc.

    Howdy-- I haven't been able to get out and indulge my passion, detecting, due to weather and commitments. But, alas, I was able to rearrange my schedule and get out and swing my V3i! It's often challenging to find a site to hunt living in a small town that I have hunted for the last 35 years...

    Silver & Gold -14K...

    Howdy-- We have had triple digit heat here in west Texas for several days which makes detecting a real challenge. Well, it was going to get down to a high of 99 degrees so off we went. I found a recent house tare-down in a potentially productive neighborhood and that was our destination...

    Houston Fat Stock Show...

    Howdy-- My friend Kenneth and I were driving around town in search of a site that might be productive. Sometimes we spend the better part of an hour in the quest for a suitable lot to hunt. Kenneth was seriously injured in 1956 in an oil field accident and because of spinal damage and hip and...

    Case Watch Fob Info?

    Howdy-- A good friend of mine, Doc, dug this fob a while back and him knowing of my appreciation of watch fobs, gave this to me! I know that there are some very knowledgeable people that visit this forum so I was hoping that someone could tell me approximately how old this fob is? The maker is...
