    Found some more goodies...

    I usually only hit the forum in the mornings, unfortunately it has been down for me for about a week. That is also the week that I have had the new LW ML 11" coil! I must say it will be my main coil from now on. I have been using the Sun Ray Stealth X-8 (8") because of the weight and it is a...

    One keeper with die cracks...

    I managed to pull this nice IH out of a hard hit park. Once cleaned up I noticed a couple odd things about the coin. It has die cracks between almost all of the letters on the obverse only one small one on the back. Then I noticed what appears to be an old scratch under the ear - but not on the...

    My Grand Slam Miss from last weekend...

    I asked a landowner if he would mind me detecting the curb strip in front of his house. He said no problem and that on the corner there had been a house at one time and I could look there too. Cool! It was nice to dig up a lot of targets again. The last four houses I hunted were picked nearly...

    Shaved a Barber...

    Wouldn't you know the only old coin I found yesterday and I managed to knick it pretty bad - an O-mint no less. Dangit! Sometimes you just can't be careful enough. Still better than being skunked. HH - BF

    Large Cent!

    I love finding large cents. This coin was the first target I dug at an old farm residence. Thought I was in for a more, but ended up with only a Merc. and three wheats plus clad. I will try this spot again with a larger coil (I was using the SR Stealth 8"). The LC was only down about five...

    Found some goodies...

    I finally got out again for a 2-1/2 hour hunt. I hit a private residence. The owner was very nice When I showed him the finds, he said he didn't want any of it. I only covered 3/4 of the front yard before I ran out of time. Here are the goodies. I also dug nine wheat backs, a silver/"pearl" kids...

    Third time's the charm...

    Third hunt in the stuffy town's park and we got the boot. I knew they were picky about letting people detect this park, but my new hunting buddy said he had been detecting there with no problems. Yesterday the police officer said the city manager drove by, saw us, and called the cops... The...

    Exp. SE For Sale or Trade for F75

    Hello, I have a 1 year old Explorer SE in great shape. It is "like new" except for some usual small scratches from use and there is a small ding in the screen, see pic. This unit went back to ML last winter. ML installed all new cards in the control box and replaced the slimline coil. So the...

    Sunday Hunt...

    I have been detecting with a new guy, Lonnie. He has been detecting for about four months. I kicked his ... last weekend with eight IH to his none. We took a lot of time where I would find a nice sounding deep signal, mark the spot and let Lonnie check it out. He is not using a ML. He was using...

    After work hunt...

    I got permission to hunt a small farm house yard. Found the IH on the first pass - thought I would clean up. The super worn V-nickel came from about an inch down. The IH was probably three inches. Too bad I nicked the rim, it is a good date. Also dug some clad and two wheats. Not too bad for a...

    Surprise find cleans up...

    When I found the silver dollar I also kept a few what's its. This one was an 1/8" thick chunk of crud. Nice surprise to see the horse on there. I was thinking cuff link at first, but the attachment is off center. Plus would a cuff link have a patent? I cannot make out the patent numbers sad to...

    Park finds rival Jimmy C's IHs...

    Went to do road construction and ended up at a local park. Here is my take of goodies. Note the 1875 is not in too bad of condition. Had fun digging the deeper signals (clad all over the place). That is a .925 silver ear ring and a pin of some kind. I also got three wheat backs and a handfull of...

    Road Construction Finds!

    Hit some construction in the middle of town. Ended up with four crusted Indian heads and two silver coins. This is only my second silver dollar in nine years of detecting!! I was hunting about 15 feet from the edge of where the old sidewalk was (sort of in the street area). I came to a huge mud...

    Florida Find...

    I had to go to FL for two weeks to drive my mom back home. I sure did not miss the Michigan weather. I detected a town beach while down there. Had plenty of competition though, two guys in the water, me and another guy on the sand at dawn. I probably covered my parking fees with clad and I found...

    Nice Barber Dime...

    Me and a new detecting buddy hit a woods that use to be a fair grounds and horse racing track. We had to hunt the front area since there was 3-6 inches of snow still left on most of the site. This place has been pounded so I was surprised when the broken but somewhat good signal turned out to be...

    Found a couple keepers Sunday...

    Saturday it was mild around 55 deg. Sunday morning it was 22 deg. with what seemed like fifty mph winds. I had to get out and do some detecting, so I hit a farm field. No coins surfaced but I did find two nice CW buttons and a bell. I cannot quite make out the back mark on the coat button, shows...

    How does the SE really stack up against the II?

    I have been using the SE for a year now. I have done pretty good with it. One of the main reasons that I bought the new machine is because of it's advertised "handles iron better". To me it seems that just the opposite is true. Shortly after learning the SE I noticed that, unlike the XS and the...
