    Couple nice finds yesterday..

    I went to a local school and searched around the sports field yesterday. I ended up with 60 quarters and these two silver rings. I wish i had kept count of how many quarters I have found at this school since I first started detecting there a couple years ago, but would guess around at least 400...

    Iffy target yesterday

    While searching in an area where I found 5 silver dimes in about 20 minutes a few years ago, I got an iffy signal that sounded like something decent from one angle, but very crappy from another angle, I dug where I thought the target was giving the best signal and found this Mercury dime.. I...

    Found one coin and crossed two bucket listers off....

    I searched around an old house site today that I have been to a few times and it has given up to decent finds. While searching near the site, I got a nice smooth 23/24 on my 800. I dug plug and in the loose dirt in the hole, I found the Seated dime, and discovered it is a love token!! I have...

    A little unusual post…

    I thought maybe others would enjoy seeing this. While driving home the other night i caught a glance of something crossing in front of me just before I heard a thump. I went a short distance and turned around to see what it was and found this little screech owl laying on the road apparently...

    yearend totals....

    I counted and rolled my coins from last year today while it was cold and windy out. I was able to get out every day since Christmas day except for one day and finished one last hunt yesterday. In addition to what is shown, I also found a nice gold ring, and several silver rings along with my...

    Cold outing today....

    I decided to brave the cold today as the forecast for tomorrow is even worse.. cold and mixed precipitation.... Mostly been looking for clad the last several months trying to get my last jar full before the year ends and it has been too dry to dig deep. I started out looking for clad today and...

    Todays finds....

    I went to a high school that I had good luck at last year finding a class ring and returning it to the owner. I have done well at this school, but after quite a few trips there in the past, I can tell coins are not accumulating as fast as I had hoped. Still, it was a pretty good day... I found...

    Coinstar finds today....

    It has been a while since I have found much in the Coinstars, but after getting some groceries today, I checked the one on my way out and scored! $374 and a 1953 silver dime, ( center dark coin ). Also.. there were 3 Canadian quarters and a Mexican coin in the mix. With the holidays approaching...

    Recent beach trip finds...

    I just got back from my annual beach detecting trip today and had pretty good luck. Between the high winds and rough surf, some erosion took place the second day I was there and like others, I took advantage of it and was rewarded with the nice gold band. It is 14k and weighs 3.1 grams. Many of...

    Found and returned today....

    I was looking at the lost and found this morning and someone posted about losing a ring while playing softball at a local park last night. I replied asking if anyone had responded yet and the owner said I was the first and only reply so far. I grabbed my things and after getting a haircut and...

    Question about this button I found.

    I was looking at some respones to "relikusmc's" recent post below and was wondering about this button. The responses he got were that if the button has an iron back, It is post Civil War era. I found this one some years ago around an old house site along with quite a few other military buttons...

    River finds today...

    With a drought going on and extremely high temperatures, I have been trying a couple of local rivers. With the exception of finding a large cent near where an old ferry used to be, all other coins are modern clad although I have got some 1965-1967 dates. Today I found a few older non coin items...

    River finds today...

    Between the high temperatures and drought, I picked a good time to try detecting in rivers. This is my forth trip so far and even though it is tiring, at least can keep on detecting and stay cool. There was an old ferry crossing in this section of the river and of course many folks swim, tube...

    River finds from today...

    I tried river detecting today since it is getting hot and supposed to be even hotter by the end of the week. The water is still a little higher than I prefer and still has a good current making for some tiring detecting, but I am happy with my results. It is definitely a different ball game than...

    First water hunt of the year...

    My buddy and I went out to a local swimming lake today and although finds were pretty scarce, we managed to find a few things. Most of the coins shown came from the beach, while the two rings (one of them silver), and the toy car came from the water. Was using the XTerra Pro today, and it seems...

    Any ideas on this piece?

    I found this some years ago while detecting around an old mid 1800's house site. It is bronze and I am now thinking it may be a rein hook or something related to a carriage. It appears to have a flanged piece on it that perhaps slide into something to lock it in place. Thanks in advance for any...

    Great hunt today.....

    It was cloudy and drizzly this morning, but with temperatures up around 90 degrees approaching next week, I wanted to get another full day of detecting in. I decided to try a couple schools that I have been too and done well at this year and was quite surprised at the amount of quarters still...

    Revisit to an old house site today....

    I decided to try a local demolition site that I have not been too since late last Spring due to overgrowth. It was rough detecting in the tall grass, but I used the small coil and actually did much better than I thought I would. If I can get back in there just as they are starting to clear the...

    Need help with headphone repair...

    I have a set of Killer B Ultima's and have noticed the outer sheathing has broken at the strain relief on the headphone cup. I would like to do the repair myself, but do not know how to take them apart to access the inside and wire connections. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank for looking!
