Found this just off the old Main Street at my abandoned town site where there was a community from 1800-1940. . I know people find these all the time but I was pretty excited. I see they come in a bold N and shallow N varieties. Can someone chime and tell me which mine is. I looked up pics of...

I dug this pretty little button today. Since learned word BEST on back. I also dug a few other buttons and a 1901 Indian Head...
The 1907 Indian Head Penny, 1917 Wheat Penny and circa 1918 Buckle were found on a Perry County Property that has for the most part given up nothing but trash. The 1942 Silver Nickel and 1950 Wheat Penny were found last night during a practice run at night hunting on the property I just use for...
Yesterday, I looked through my fourth penny box and found my first IH.
I was stoked! I also made a few other interesting finds.
A 1957 Canadian cent in excellent condition and a 1976 capped die error, which I had to look up. It also has a line across the right side of Lincoln's face...any...
Went detecting today in some brown sandy river bottoms. First and only coin find today was this 1863 copper nickel alloy IHP, my first fatty one ever! Found the IHP first then checked again and still signal same area dug some more and got this lovely square nail. Its a good guess that it would...
Wind, cold and a little afternoon sun made this one of my coldest hunts in Baltimore, but I was dressed for the weather and managed to "hang in there". Part way through the day, one of our Club member's, John, came by and we had some time to compare notes on the day and our finds. Spring's...
Local park's field keeps on giving, silver pocket spill and an Indian head.
Only was able to hunt for around a hour before people came to use the fields for soccer practice and I decided to just keep out of the way but I did find some goodies.
This makes my first ever Merc's I found and...
I'm pretty excited about this video. We recently made a trip to my old stomping grounds in Northern PA (Cameron County). There used to be coal mines all over the mountain from back in the late 1800s to 1917. Migrant workers from Poland settled on top of the mountain until it closed. Snoopy and I...
So today I finally joined the seated club!!! I've been on a super lucky streak for the past 3 weeks getting a lc, walker, 3 golds and 27 other silvers. Started out today with 297 silver coins for the year. I've been trying to get a seated coin all year. And today it happened twice!!! We hunted...
Last night I was cleaning up NJLargeCent's and my bounty (mostly junk) from last weekend's hunt. Early in my day, I unearthed 2 Lincoln pennies, and then got a third penny that was twisted and toasted. Oh well, another Lincoln I thought and tossed it in my "keeper" pouch. Last night while...
I am new to metal detecting. I bought a Garret Ace 250 this month and have used it at my father's house in RI. The house dates back to the 1700's and it has a large area of lawn around the house. So far I have found some old nails, old metal piping, shotgun shell, live .22 caliber short and 8...
