    HOLD ONTO YOUR SHORTS... YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS ONE! :surprised:

    So my friend calls me to say he went detecting with his 7 year old daughter... and while he's digging up mid-70s clad and rusty nails and junk, his daughter is poking around and finds this 'thing.' She shows it to her dad, saying, "Daddy, what's this?" My friend looks at this 'thing,' not...

    Quickest silver ever... :bouncy:

    Haven't been out much this year - work, and all that... but my detecting buddy called me last night to say that they tore up the sidewalk at an old school we've tried many times, and can I go for a couple hours this morning. :thumbup: Anyway, after grabbing all my gear out of the car, and...

    Question regarding rings/jewelry...

    ... on my last hunt, I "accidentally" dug an 12k gold ring. Sounded like a nickel... looked like a nickel on the Smartscreen... I was expecting a nickel. The question is: how many of you actively hunt/dig specifically looking for rings/jewelry? And if you do, is there a specific strategy you...

    Traffic, dogs (their excrement and owners) and a 1905 S half dollar...

    Must have been 30-40 dogs today at the "new" park (new to me)... tennis balls and toys whizzing by me constantly, followed by every make and model of dog - not to mention their droppings. Only a few clad, some junk, and this beauty: [attachment 153297 halfo.jpg] [attachment 153298 halfr.jpg]...

    Post your BEST FIND OF 2009 here! :thumbup:

    I'll start it off... [attachment 148674 ob.gif] My eyes are getting worse as the years go by, so I couldn't read the date when I found it (as I forgot the magnifying glass I usually take with me). But I did know it was a SLQ with, perhaps, a date. What a wonderful surprise to find it was a '23...

    About 9 hours of hunting a 15' x 15' spot...

    It started out with the SLQ in August: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,1025343 ... and about every weekend since, for about an hour or so each, I've plucked out the following - all about 6 inches (+/-) down: [attachment 141617 the_spot.jpg] 1907 S Barber dime (... was hitting more like...

    Some finds while housesitting...

    ... the house was built in 1952, and there's lots of lawn to detect - - but just not much there. Dug $1.43 in clad... 5 crusty wheats (51, three 55s, and a 56)... oh, and I can't forget the lead fishing weight! :rofl: [attachment 120804 wheats.jpg] and 2 war nickles - both 1943 (one P and...

    POST your BEST FIND of 2008 here!

    I'll get it started with mine... ... a simple silver ring from a 40's era school. [attachment 114026 silver_ring.jpg] Why is it my best of 2008? It was my first full year with the Explorer (SE), my first ring of the year and my first silver of the year, and from a school that I had visited...

    At what depth does your "good tone" become an "iffy tone"?

    Of course, many factors come into play here (local soil variations, nearby trash, etc.) - but generally speaking, all factors being the same, what is your average, maximum depth for a good, solid tone? Also, to narrow this down additionally - I'm referring to relatively small, conductive...

    The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Curve...

    The Good: Found this 1949-D Quarter yesterday at about 6 inches. [attachment 108468 1949-D_obverse.JPG] The Bad: This quarter was found in my own backyard - in a spot that I've swept my coil (SE w/Pro coil) over at LEAST 150-200 times this past year. My worst MD nightmare comes true: I'm...
