So where are the detector reports??

RE: An awesome quick morning hunt

Nice finds Plumb, I have a mason jar I toss most of my wheats in (if they are collectables they go in 2x2s). The other coins go into 2x2s and into my notebook. I save that to show friends.

Most kids just want to know whats going on. I seldom run into the idiot types but it does happen. Never know when a good deed may come back around. I may go back out tomorrow morning and hit a few playgrounds again. Good luck!

Yes MIdigger, it seems every standing liberty coin I dig is in roughed up condition.

Hit it for a bit this morning, 3q,6d,14p, and some pcs of scrap copper pipe. Good luck if you get out.

Whoah, nice coins 2find4me! Did you dig/detect all those silver dollars? Find a cache? I've never dug a silver coin larger than a quarter. Oldest dug quarter is an 1857 so no complaints, though finding big silver would be really awesome.


So, I went back to my "honeyhole" park again this morning. Got my internet sales packed up early and set out to seek my fortunes in this most promising of spots. Detected for about 1.5 hours after hiking around scouting out likely looking areas. Third time there and have pulled silver all 3 days.

Total finds:

4 zincolns
6 copper memorials
5 wheaties (1941-1956)
1 nickel (1935 buffalo!)
5 clad dimes
1 1936 Mercury dime
1 worn smooth, dateless, sterling silver Queen Victoria Canadian dime (1901 or earlier)
1 brass marijuana hitter pipe []

First nice find was the smooth canadian dime. Took me a while to figure out what it was but after determining the monarch was Victoria and discerning the crown and wreath on the reverse it was clearly Canadian. It has visible coin roll machine damage on the face (I've seen this on end coins in very old rolls) so it must have been used as an American dime for a long time. Nothing special but silver is silver!

Found some wheats, then went to check the exposed dirt around a very big old tree. Swing the coil and get a great signal. Look through the hole in the coil and see the reverse of a mercury dime looking at me, pretty much on the surface! Awesome! [] Grab that sucker up and with the very next swing I get a clear nickel signal. Right on the surface of the ground, less than 3 feet away, is the '35 buffalo! I was in shock for a few moments. Finding goodies like that shouldn't be so easy, lol. []

Right after that I had to leave (silly responsibilities) but I shall be back! []

No way this park has been hit hard at all, I'm very pleased to have a place like this to detect at when the fancy strikes.

Included in the image are the ring and fired .45 from the 2nd hunt.

Good luck and happy hunting! []

Great finds Plumb, that Canadian sure looks "slick". I dug a 1916 that looks mighty similar, barely readable (but silvers always great). Looks like youve a good spot to stay on.

Im heading back to one of the festival areas tomorrow morning where Ive found numerous rings/jewelry and coins. Hope its worth it. Then swapping out and maybe doing some digging and probing the dump for a bit also. Keep up the good work!.
