So where are the detector reports??

RE: One more good morning

Thanks, and yeah it is slick as heck! Looked like a little silver mirror when it popped out of the plug. The only item I've dug closely approaching it in terms of wear was a slightly bent ~1920 mercury dime I dug back when I was around 7. Hard to say without digging it out, but I've noticed that AG grade US dimes seem to weigh around 2 grams (so 20% of the weight is worn away) but the merc I got can't weigh much more than 1.75g. Makes me think it was a pocket piece rather than something that was circulated until lost. Really a POS if not for the silver content. []

I guess with Michigan being pretty close to Canada you guys find more Canadian coins up there? Do you know if people spend (or used to spend) the coins as equivalents to their US coinage counterparts? Regardless, nice find on the 1916, they were still Sterling at the time I believe.

Well, best of luck with your hunting tomorrow morning, hope you find some good stuff without getting bothered by those monstrous hornets.

I find a bit of Canadian stuff. Found a pocket spill one time with a $1 coin and some Canadian quarters too. I find mostly Canadian pennies, not a lot, but sometimes. I did get out today but, not a whole lot of finds.

2q,1d,1n,32p (2 of the pennies were 1/2 zincolns--already disentegrating) I think theres a wheat or two, but they are soaking to get the crud off. I did score my requisit pcs of silverplate. 1 fork, and a 1/2 of a spoon. Couple of pcs of scrap metal too. At least the weather was nice this morning.

RE: One more good morning

you guys are raking it in! I finally had a chance to hit the yard the other night... a few screws..some nails, washers, nuts...and a hunk of twisted up chain-link fence tie.... tomorrow i'm going to hopefully get to the park with the small lake.

2find..love those peace dollars. thanks for showing them. those are such awesome looking coins.

been so busy lately. Daughter is doing the punt/pass/kick thing. so she gets to compete against other kids at a small tourney. She does pretty well. One of her soccer coaches said he'd sponsor her. said to just go to the printers and have them make up a uniform or whatever she wants and put it on his tab. she does pretty well for 11. she punts close to 60yds (being a goalie, she kicks a soccer ball end to end almost), kicks from a tee 120ish feet and can only throw 100ft or so. She might have a good chance. She can hella kick, so that'll help compensate for the throwing.

Outside of all the stuff we're getting from my friend's boss, his mother in law was cleaning out her house and found her son's baseball/football/basketball/hockey cards and gave them to us. close to 10k cards. I'm done with the hockey/football/basketball...now to hit up the 8boxes of baseball cards.

So far nothing too valuable. Alot of rookie cards from 80s-90's. Going to put them on checkoutmycards.com methinks. you send them in, set a price and they do the scanning/listing etc...stays on until they sell. costs .20 per card to do it all, but you set prices. set it at .40c, knock off .20 for the fee have .20 per card left. 10k x .20 = enough for me. just let the money acrue in your account until you want to draw it out....need to do more research on it though..

RE: One more good morning

Looks like everyones staying busy. Keep the finds coming!!. Think Ill give it a whirl tomorrow morning before the heat sets in. Almost got enough dimes for another roll of slush fund $$.

Got off to an interesting morning today. Some weiner in a Chevy truck decided he would speed down the newly covered road of crushed concrete. Guess he missed the 35mph signs....crashing into a smaller truck, becoming airborne, flipping and losing the complete rear axle housing and wheels. Interesting to see a truck sitting with no rear wheel assembly. Morons.

RE: One more good morning

Got out for a short bit this morning. Saw a couple other guys detecting, so I worked off the other way. Came away with 4q,7d, and 13p. Couple of aluminum pcs and a chunk of copper. Nice morning and good breeze before the heat comes today.

RE: One more good morning

Did the festival clean up. I cannot believe I found all of this, this morning. 21 quarters, 25 dimes, 2 nickels, and One hundred and twenty pennies!! (168 total coins), 1 sterling ring, 7 tokens, and a sterling heart shaped pendant. My backs killing me. One wheat penny (a 1940-S), and 2 returnable bottles. I believe thats $9.05 for the morning.

Wow nice finds MIdigger, I'm bring the detector to grandma's old house. Last time had bad luck and only got a few wheats and a silver dime. Maybe I'll have better luck this time. Also here are a few picks of some error coins I found. Any info would be appreciated.
