    One little Two little Three little Indians——-

    Those crusty zincolns look familiar. I wish they would quit making cent coins. I've always wondered why zincolns and IHs ID pretty the same on the explorer, but wheat pennies different. IHs and wheats were supposed to be the exact same composition- .950 copper, .050 tin and zinc. I wonder if...

    1837 Token - Have You Ever Found One Of These ?

    ETO, Just went through my records. I have found at least one hard times token. Like you it sparked my interest and I did some research. Yoeman's Red book has a section on them with many photos; lots of varieties. Chris

    Old explorer still hitting on those old coins

    Ed, Nice hunt I had my old XS out once this spring. Looks like nice weather ahead, time to get out more before the grass starts growing. The XS still my go to, even though I have the CTX and NOX800. Chris

    Argument with GF, how many of you buy coins for your collection, vs all found?

    Hello all, I'm cataloging my 2019 finds. Everything in my collection is dug; a few folders are close to full, but I'm pretty positive I will never find all the dates for any given coin type. How about the rest of you? Am I crazy? (as GF suspects) Do any of you buy coins to co-mingle with...

    One Wheat, One IH, One Barber, One V

    Hello All, Went back to the site where I found two seated coins. No such luck today but a couple of nice condition coins. [attachment 370858 2019_11_24.JPG] Ground was frozen in a few places. Next few days warmer so may be able to detect for awhile. I've never posted a picture of a 1942...

    5" of snow on the ground... Glad I got out yesterday.. Found a roll of pennies..

    Hello All, Yesterday I went to a neighboring town to help with a chili supper. Got there too late and all the set up was done. Earlier this year I had secured permission for a older corner house in the same town. At the time I was hunting an adjoining construction site; too dry and grass too...

    Three silver, two seated day....

    Hello All, Yesterday I did a little driving around, looking for construction sites in neighboring towns. Saw some sidewalk work in a local park, didn't get out of the car to survey the site. Today I went back to check it out. As usual I was too late for the best hunting, sidewalks and...

    Joined the NOX crowd. Not hugely impressed, but did get my first silver dollar with it...

    Hello all, I ordered and received an Equinox 800 and a six inch coil a couple of weeks ago. I've had it out a half dozen times since; mainly at sites I had pounded over the years with my XS with a variety of coils, and to a lesser extent my CTX3030. One of these sites had so many coins it...

    Ground thawed a in places.. Very nice 1867 IH

    Hello All, I was able to poke my screwdriver in the ground after some recent warmer temperatures. Perhaps may have a few more days of 40s here in southern WI. I was hoping to add to silver totals, but only found this IH. [attachment 363475 2018_12_15O.JPG] [attachment 363476 2018_12_15R.JPG]...

    Dime Grand Slam#3

    Hello All, I just took a trip down memory lane by searching through my sixteen years of posts on Findmall. Definitely getting old. I thought this was Grand Slam#2 but I was wrong, did one in 2004 and again in 2008. Then I had to cross reference with my scribbled records to try find out where...

    Walker Half and 1883 Shield Nickel

    Hello All, Found some local road construction, Not easy hunting; I think they used foundry slag under some the sidewalks that were dug up, almost impossible detecting conditions As always, finding a big silver is fun. I think this is only my third or fourth shield nickel. It looks like it...

    10 Silver Sunday Afternoon...

    Hello All, It's been quite some time since I've found this many silver coins in a single outing. [attachment 356189 2018_03_18.JPG] Somewhat unusual: I've never found 8 mercs and only mercs in a day. All the mercs are without mintmarks. Also 17 wheats. Nothing old or rare, but it was...
