    Why do I find so many spoons in plowed fields

    on old farms. Can't count how many I found in plowed fields. Yesterday and today I found 4 more. Spoons belong in the kitchen, how do they get lost hundreds of feet from the house. Did the old time farmers eat their squirrel stew and plow at the same time. Any farmers here have an answer.

    A first for me

    Was in the woods in NJ 3 hours today. First coin was a 1853 Half Dime, my first half dime, couldn't believe it, kept looking at it saying "I found a half dime, my first half dime". Then found two IH pennies and a British Cartwheel. The cartwheel is huge, much bigger than a large penny. In the...

    Was hunting a sidewalk strip today. Got a high tone

    coin signal. First the gold elephant earing came out, I thought the high tone couldn't be from the earing. I dug a little more and out came a copper memorial. Thought I was gonna dig a dime, I try not to dig pennies, but this was my lucky penny for sure. A little later I thought I had a dime or...

    A first for me.

    Finally found my first seated quarter today, in a corn field only 5" deep. The CoinStrike meter numbers were 30 - 32 and I was thinking these numbers are perfect for a quarter, this has to be silver quarter. It's well worn but thats OK with me. Also in the pic is a King George penny (no date...

    Gonna wear an extra belt for my tools

    Hard to see but I'm wearing two belts. The extra belt doesn't hold my jeans up, just goes around my waist with all my tools attached to it. Why didn't I think of this before. Bought the thick solid leather belt yesterday (Target $19.99). Attached to it are two home made pouches, digger, probe...

    Add some olive oil to your daily diet if your finger tips crack

    during the winter months. My finger tips cracked every winter all my life, very painful. Hand lotions never helped but adding 2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil to my daily diet did. Worked for me, no problem for the past 2 winters. Got that tip from a food website.

    Rev. War relic?

    Found this US thing in a corn field in NJ. Made of pewter I think. Didn't find the other half. Rev. war troops were in this general area. Any one have a clue what it was? Also an indian head and wheatie penny.

    EMI - Can it help us get more depth?

    It seems that way in my cellar when air testing. EMI is always present in my cellar and it produces mostly mid tones in the 3 detectors I tested. In Disc mode when the coil is passing over a deep dime some sweeps (maybe 40%) will produce an extra loud beep, some sweeps may give a higher tone...

    Is the CoinStrike a deep machine

    Do you use the C$ often? In your opinion is it a deep machine. Does anybody have the ID Edge and the C$ and are they equal in depth in the field.

    OK...Am I being stupid???

    Chopper, I started out in the early 70's with the same model HeathKit you had. I think I paid $69 for the kit. Got good depth for coins but dug a ton of chewing gum foil wrappers. Had 11 more detectors since but at my age now I'll stay with my current detector till the end.

    23 large cents, colonial cents this year impossible?

    My reply to "Some Finds" post was deleted, maybe the moderator couldn't believe it, but its true all 23 were found this year in NJ within 15 miles of my house. They're bigger than a quarter, are easy to detect, and give a high tone like a quarter, a signal anyone would dig. My best day this year...

    My first three center

    One three center was found in a small wooded area along with a seated dime, Standing Lib. quarter, sheild nickle, 14 IH pennies. The other three center was found in a farm corn field along with several 1700's King George pennies here in NJ. Strange, no indian heads, Barbers, Mercs were found in...

    My first three center

    Goldbill, I found a 1873 counterfit seated dime this summer in a woods. 95% of the silver plating was pealed off the front side and 75% was pealed off the back side when I found it. The base metal is almost a black color and the coin is a lot thinner than a real seated dime, not magnetic. Had a...

    Almost lost my shovel in the woods

    Walked more than 300 feet before I noticed it wasn't hanging on my belt and nearly panicked. Backtracked the best I could and when I was within 10 feet of it I saw it in the weeds at the edge of the woods. The entire shovel was brown, made it hard to see. Today I painted the handle black and...

    Nice find in the woods

    Wasn't having any luck in the woods so I wandered into the field but the weeds were too high to search. Was just getting back into the woods and got a nice high tone with ID # 38, thought it was gonna be a half dollar. Didn't find the chain but finding this awesome medal made my day. The medal...

    Cellar hole finds

    Went to a cellar hole in the woods about 3 miles from my house. This place was searched by others thru the years but no place is ever searched out. Found the 1787 New Jersey copper, the date is still readable with a magnifying glass. Then 30 feet away the dime and 4 wheaties were together, a...

    C$ frequency info

    I just talked to Dan at Fisher Labs and asked what is the frequency of the CoinStrike. He checked the schematic and called me back. He said the schematic shows single frequency 30 - 31 khz and the frequency is not proprietary info any more. I don't know, I always thought the frequency was around...

    What is this old coin token

    Found today near edge of a corn field. Very badly pitted copper token with eagle/arrows on one side, wreath on other side. Can't see date. Inside the wreath is letters but can't read them. Same size as a quarter. Does anyone have a clue what it might be. Jabbo, New Jersey.
