    It was a short hunt, 90 degrees today. $2.83 post β€˜65 Clad 1 1951 Wheat. 1 Copper too corroded to identify.
  2. Gas money

    Made a quick stop by HEB for a few groceries, got my first luck of 2022. 20.91 in total Hoped for silver to be in the mix but there was none :/ Even though I've asked this question in the past I still don't get how CS users miss the tray :icon_scratch: Happy hunting everyone :occasion14:
  3. OLD TOKEN with a MOVIE STAR on it!

    I was at the railway tracks with my new bounty hunter land ranger pro and searched where I found a 1930-40 baby carriage wheel at the tracks. I got a quarter signal. I pulled out this flat circle that I thought was trash in till I took a closer look. I saw faint words on it so I kept it and...
  4. Really Neat OLD COIN With a HOLE in it!

    What do you think about this dime? It's weird... it's so shiny like tin foil it almost doesn't seem like it could be silver. That's why it's not clear... too much glare. Also why does it have a hole in it?! Right by the hole it looks like the shiny stuff is chipped... could it be siliver plated...
  5. Shiny 1937 penny!!!

    Hi, do you think I could sell this coin? It still has quite a bit of nice shine to it. What price should I ask? Should I sell on ebay or kijiji? Please answer if you know anything about this coin or if you have a suggestion. Thanks! Have a great day! :)
  6. VA beach finds from this week

    This week's haul included a junk ring, tons of clad, a 2017 charm, and a WW2 bullet jacket (and scrap metal). I didn't have the best of luck but I had a great time. Maybe next time, right?
  7. Surpassed $10 in Clad and Added to the Bullet Pile!

    Hey everyone, It has been a while since I have been on the site and posted my finds (partially due to the winter weather :)) so bare with me if I am a bit rusty at my thread post. My Father and I went out yesterday (2/20) to 2 different sites to hunt. First we went to this low-key city park...
  8. Massive coin spill for me at least !

    Well you know what they say about detecting and timing being important with the zinc cents in circulation you need to get them off the ground before they rot. I had a tip there there was some little league baseball tournaments about to occur so I found out from them when they expected them to be...
  9. Little lost "Teddy" saved & some clad plus weird chain.

    Heres todays totals: Not sure how the little chain was worn it read 08 on conductive ETrac. Any ideas ? Ring read out like a copper cent. Rings inner marking: Hope you enjoyed visiting , better hunts to ya !!
  10. A little variety today make the hunt okay !

    Had some variety today a little fiery "Bling!" and then a weird pen (maybe it used to light up) Todays nickel count was good at twelve. And a quarter sandwich was a fine way to end the days hunt too ! :occasion14: Last but not least todays trash dug :
  11. The pyramid of detecting staples.

    The detecting pyramid of staples is comprised of Quarters, Dimes, and Nickels. With Cents no longer comprising or yielding any major impact in the takes quotas at this site. Also as you can see the majority of finds are not fresh drops either, pointing towards the decline of the change economics...
  12. GP 925 and some bling makes the outing fun !

    Found three rings today one looks to be decent the other two are kids rings. Photos of the GP 925 ring. The rest of todays finds minus the mystery item. Todays mystery item, seems to be a rattle or percussion noise maker. The copper is very brittle. Hope you all are getting some hunt...
  13. Learning my AT Pro - Check out My Finds (First Gold!!!)

    I've been enjoying the MD hobby now for about 2 months and the more I get out there, the more comfortable I get with the AT Pro. I'm finally at a point where I can hear a signal and pretty accurately guesstimate what it's going to be when I pop it out of the dirt. This is how it's been going...
  14. 2nd Time Out - Beach Hunt - Clad, 2 Bullet Casings, Junk and WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

    Took my AT Pro to the beach for the 2nd time ever. Found some crusty clad, a house key, 2 bullet casings, foil and pull tabs aaannnd I have no idea what this big thing is. Weighed about 100 Lbs. Completely rusted. Any ideas?
  15. a few relics make the hunt better !

    Had a very strong signal and got the clock movement housing and next to it was a car ignition switch cylinder also, go figure ! The round brass item looks like it could have had several uses. Started the hunt late today because of the heat and humidity so my hunt was even shorter than usual...
  16. Cleaning clad coins- the easy way

  17. Old style phone charm !!

    You know what they say theres always one item of interest, found it with my pro-pointer while digging for another signal =D It reads 15 on conductive on my machine thats just a bit above regular nickels.Got really good nickel count today also ! Hope you enjoyed the post ! Happy Hunting to you...
  18. Big Ice Day or "2 big 2 b Tru !"

    The weather was perfect for hunting today and the ground moisture was about perfect a rare combination ! Had a very enjoyable hunt with good nickel count 18 and more quarters than usual 11. On heading out I did get a huge CZ ring and when first light hit that stone it was a bit of a heart...
  19. Ready, Aim, Fire ! ! Silver Military Medal

    Todays trash: The WWII US Army rifle proficiency badge, was my good find of today. Think this is a first silver military medal finding for me! Quite a thrill it was and unexpected in the ground. Got a 1946 silver dime also so it was a double good silver day ! Total finds for the day ...
  20. Clad and a kids ring, good nickel count.

    At least todays hunt yielded one ring, that read out at 19 low pull-tab range. Got good nickel count. At least there was a nice breeze outside today so hunting was more fun ! Todays Trash : Todays Goodies : Thanks for checking out todays finds ! Have a great hunt !
  21. Fly away butterfly !! Good effort today =)

    I knew today would not be as good as yesterday but I sure gave it the "Old School" try !! Todays trash digs: Todays goodies: While todays Nickel count was higher than yesterday the dime count was down and quarter count was even. Ring count was zero sadly but I did get a large Butter-fly...
  22. Step right up for the THREE RING CIRCUS ! ! !

    Here is all the trash that was found today in the process of retrieving the three rings ! Todays the day of the "Three Ring Circus !" Here are the three dirty rings for today ! Rings 1 and 2 cleaned: Ring 1 is the biggest silver ring that I have ever found! It is very heavy (no...
  23. 3 hour hunt yields another first for me !!

    Got out in the no shade lot for about three hours today, ended up with my first Pendant Watch, it is surprising how the first just keep on rolling in sometimes! Here is todays trash shot : Total goodies shot: Pendant Watch closeup, it has abalone like background on the dial, couldn't get it...
  24. Found the lost "Stang" !

    After three hunts in this heat, have decided that having to pace ones self so that the sweat doesn't take over the face seriously cuts down on finds! Also need to invest in bigger towels to wipe my face and glasses with, not sure there is a big enough towel to keep up with all my sweat lol ! The...
  25. Last couple hunts at the big cement pond and a great button.

    The highlight of the first hunt was the wheat penny and the crushed aluminum kids ring. Straightened that out, too bad its a no fit me ring lol ! Second hunt the best item was a 1925 Buffalo Nick ! Sure was hard to get it out of the ground, must have spent over 5 minutes extracting it...
  26. Dejavu its a "On-Top of the ground Coin-Spill" / "Penny Tri-fecta" !!!

    Dejavu its a "On-Top of the ground Coin-Spill" / "Penny Tri-fecta" !!! In some of my latest reply post I had mentioned that you never know what will turn up next!! Dejavu time its that day! I was detecting around the front of a building around some divider post with welded pipe rails. Detector...
  27. 925 Stars "O" n some change !

    After yesterdays rain , it was time to break the no detecting drought! Got some clad and then got a pegged signal on the conductivity scale that was pretty loud in the headsets! It turned out to be a 925 Ring ! The hunt got interrupted by more rain, still rain is good! I will hunt more tomorrow...
  28. "Dynamic Duo" Nanannna what a ring!?!

    About ten steps from where I parked the transport I noted some interesting Nickel like signal and dug, after prying with the screwdriver a bit a yellow metaled ring popped out of the soil in situ. Bagged it up and kept going, thinking plated ring probably. Next near Nickel Signal was a Pull-Tab...
  29. BackYard Finds - Jun 24th, 25th, 26th

    Nothing too spectacular. Don't have any advanced machinery yet but funny that the spots I detected last year in the same areas didnt show a signal as when I would get down close to the lawn and just wand it. Almost done with the whole backyard and side lawn. Interested to see what the front part...

  31. Back to the Fishin spot! Part 2

    Went back to the fishing spot today to see what else would turn up. It was a threatening to storm and as soon as I stepped out of the truck rain drops began falling for a bit. Jumped back into the truck and after a while the rain subsided. Got back to the hunt then and began finding some zinc...
  32. Nothing much, but one amazing stroke of luck!

    Sunday's finds (sorry, just getting around to posting now) in the image below. About $1.07 in clad, a jackknife, some Hot Wheels and other junk, but...... managed to find the missing companion to the earring found last weekend while hunting with JohnT! - El Bandito

  37. New Years Day Hunt

    New Year's Day Hunt Got out for a few hours locally today. I just chose to hit a ball field to dig a bit. It paid off in clad. I don't think anyone had hit it before so I just swept it pulling out the strongest signals. It felt like I vacuuming up the quarters for a while. Definately worth...
  38. New to the Hobby

    I just got my new Fisher F2 and I am loving it. I have already found about 50 cents in clad and a hotwheels car. Not valuable but fun to dig. I have been detecting around an old baseball field and also a picnic area at my church. Any suggestions on where to dig? :dontknow:I want silver!
  39. Lead from elsewhere and clad

    The lead came from an exercise yard. The formed piece that had been cut out was found first, then I got the monster piece, about as big as any I've found yet. Got a few quarters there but got into lots of big trash so then moved to the gyms yard. Which is about a half block over. Found some...
