    December Digs ....

    Hi Guys, Looks like a Nor' Easter has shut down detecting here in upstart New York for awhile. Hopefully, the snow will melt away soon so we can get in a couple of more detecting days before the end of the year. Here's a pic of some of my finds from the past two digs. It was nice to find a few...

    Digs from another "hunted out" park ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from another locally hammered park. We hit this spot last year and only found a couple of wheaties. I'm not sure where all the targets are coming from but I have no complaints. The ground is quite harsh on copper coins so the Indians and nickels are pretty toasted...

    Digs from the past week

    Hi Guys, I started this season thinking that it was going to be a tough year. All the hot spots seemed to be playing out .... it was getting tough to find more than clad and pull tabs. I'm not sure what changed over the winter but some of the ole honey holes are still showing signs of life...

    Unexpected Silver - Round 3

    Hi Guys, I made another trip to my unexpected silver spot (It's hard to stay away :detecting:). After 45 minutes, all I could find was a wheat penny and was about ready to quit. So I gave up on my normal disciplined grid search pattern and started wandering around aimlessly. I got a really...

    A little more unexpected silver

    Hi Guys, Here's a few more finds from my hunted out spot. I don't know where the silver keeps coming from but I've got no complaints. The wheatie population also seems to be thriving. My only concern is that if I go back a third time, I'll jinks myself by expecting to find even more. Have fun...

    Unexpected silver from a hunted out spot

    Hi Guys, I had a couple of hours in the afternoon to kill so I decided to revisit one of my old honey holes that I had hunted out last year. Perhaps there was a wheat penny or two that I missed. However, my hopes of finding any silver were low. To my surprise, there were coins everywhere .. it...

    More March Digs ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds that I managed to extract from the semi-frozen ground. I scratched the '99 barber dime trying to chop it out of the ice ... good thing it wasn't a key date. The '98 dime and '95 quarter both have an "O" mint mark (no scratches :thumbup:). It's nice to see that the...

    First Digs of the Year ...

    Hi Guys, The ground finally thawed out enough in upstate New York to do some detecting. It looks like the worst of winter is behind us (I hope). Here's a pic of my finds. I usually don't post the clad that I dig but given the long winter, it felt good to dig almost anything, including those...

    December Digs ...

    Hi Guys, Here are a few finds from December's cold weather detecting. I didn't have much hope in getting out this month because of the early snow we had. Fortunately it melted away but it looks like more is on the way. The POD button is from a post office department uniform. The "E" silver pin...

    Digs from the past week ....

    Hi Guys, Here are the digs from last week. Everything is silver except for the one cent coin from Fiji. (Wonder how that found its way to upstate NY?) We were hit with the first winter blast yesterday so the season may be headed for an early end. My goal was to find $20.00 face value in silver...

    Finds from the last digs ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from the last couple of outings. The copper disk in the upper left corner is an advertising medallion from the early 1900's. On one side is a bust of Admiral George Dewey, the other is of "Fred Fearnot" of dime store novel fame. It's not worth much but a cool find...

    Last Weeks Digs ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a pic of the silver that I found during last weeks hunts. Everything came from locations that seemed to dry up so it's been a pleasant surprise to see these areas are still producing. The "Wings" pin is marked Coin Silver. I believe it was made in Mexico and dates back to WW2...

    Another Explorer Gold Ring ....

    Hi Guys, Here's another gold ring that my antiquated Explorer managed to sniff out of an array of pull tabs and foil. This is my 4th one for the year that was found in the dirt. I believe the toy badge dates around the late 50's or early 60's. It's reassuring to find that some of the ole...

    A few recent digs ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from the last couple of hunts. The ring is 10K and sounded like foil before I dug it up. It seems like a lot of gold jewelry hits below a nickel so don't hesitate to dig up some of those low sounding targets. Have fun out there! DD

    They do exist! :surprised:

    Hi Guys, I've heard tales of the mythical Morgan dollar being found around these parts. But not having actually seen one ... I remained a bit skeptical. However after countless hours of scratching in the dirt ... I can attest to the fact that they really do exist. This one was at a solid 12...

    Weird Walker ??

    Hi Guys, I managed to dig up silver half #5 for the year today. However it was a bit unexpected. It was only a few inches deep in soft dirt so it appeared to have been dropped quite recently. It also looked like someone had shined it up a bit. When I first saw it, I though it was fake. I'm...

    ATG Lands More "G" ...

    Hi Guys, Here's a couple of pics from the last swim with my ATG. After 8 hours or so in the water I began to look like a shriveled up prune but it was worth it. 14K White Gold Ring with diamond cluster - 14K bracelet (weight 16 grams) [attachment 274183 09-11-13Finds.jpg] The rest of the...

    A Little More Rescued H2O Gold

    Hi Guys, I decided to revisit one of the local swimming holes and check for any new deposits. This spot gets worked over quite frequently by some of my local competitors so I didn't expect to find much. But the weather has been hot so I had a good excuse to jump in the water and cool of a bit...

    ATG Finds a Little More "G"

    Hi Guys, Here's a few finds from the last swim with my ATG. The yellow and white gold rings are both 10K ... also recovered a roughed up silver ring that's spent too many years at the lake bottom. I thought that the religious pendant was also gold but it ended up being 14K gold filled. As...

    BBQ Spot Gives Its Last :cry:

    Hi Guys, Well ... it looks like my honey hole has really dried up this time. After four hours of detecting, I managed to pull a few targets out of the dirt but they were really hard to come by. I dug up a clad ring that describes how I feel about the place ("Lucky"). However the spot still had...
