] Well been going to old parks and trying to slow down this weekend. Found a Military Challenge coin for Aerospace Ground Equipment technician. It's one of the first ones for AGE and is from the Viet Nam era. Now the kicker is I retired from the Air Force after 20 years in AGE. Next is a...

Went out to some extremely hunted out parks this week end and scored some decent finds by tweaking the filters on the V3i and going slower more methodically with both detectors. Go 2 IHP's, 2 Barber dimes, 3 Mercury dimes, a Buf and V nickels, 1953 Silver Washington and7 wheats from between...

So the last couple of days I've been going to some extremely hunted parks, mainly because my favorite parks are loaded with homeless and drugged out people sleeping everywhere. I've been trying to change my settings to improve my finds but keep going back to what I started with. Some people ask...

Found this in the oldest park in town, would like to know it's age and any other history if possible. Haven't found any like this with the extra feathers on the back of the head. Any help is greatly appreciate. Thank you in advance P.S. back is shot and missing but it looks thicker than most...

As usual in summer spend a lot of time camping and not much detecting. Started back this week. Found a nice 1911 S Barber dime with the AT pro at 9 inches. Now the V3i scored a lot more. Found a 1961 Rosie in a new park, found a 1936 S walker half in the woods, and today she found a 1902 O...

Went to my favorite park today for 1 hour with the Whites V3i . Got a solid signal tone 75-85 on the VDI showed green freq and 9" on the pinpoint. Dug down 10" nothing but did get a hit on the pinpointer in the center of the hole. Dug down about 3" and out pops this. At first I thought it was a...

well finally found a new park with potential. Only my second ever dated Standing Liberty quarter (8") a 1918 D (7") and 1916 S (6") Mercs. Thats the good news now I can't hunt for 2 to 4 months after being injured at work. Oh well will have to enjoy all of you guy's finds for a while. So...

went out a couple of times this weekend. We hit a new (to us) park and I got the 1926 D mere from around 7" and next day went to old reliable and got the 1911 S barber from 7" but it was in the roots and god scratched a little. Been messing with running it at RX Gain of 8 because the grounds...

Was working one of our older parks where I've found a lot of older coins, after 2 1/2 hours of no deep signals, just clad and no nickels. I decided to open up the nickel range a little better. Was detecting next to a big old oak tree when I got a solid 18-19 nickel signal at 5 1/2", which means...

Took the V3i out for a couple of hours to a turn of the century race track thats's now a park. first signal was a 78-81 VDI showing 7", but was using the U13 again so knew it was probably deeper. Dug down 8" and it was still in the hole, dug another 1 1/2' a saw this silver standing on edge in...

I haven't posted for a while due to the winter and I got a new detector, Whites V3i. Finally getting the hang of all the settings, almost wrapped it around a tree but now it's working awesome. Actually it probably worked awesome all the time but operator error. I was able to get my first...

Went back to the abandoned house again today but it was much colder. Found a group of clad but not as much as yesterday. found a 1917 S wheat in the same drive way I found the 1917 D yesterday. Also got a really worn 1926 S Merc that was 2" underneath a 1962 penny in the same hole. Found...

Had a good weekend considering the ground was froze solid last week end. Found a totally worn Standing Liberty Quarter, 1902 Indian, .925 Silver necklace charm, and a huge decorative button. Also cashed in clad and savings and bought a Whites V3i can't wait. Thanks for looking and many...

Had a pretty good weekend, Scored a beautiful 1907 IHP, two 1926 D and S Merc's and a 1906 D Barber and 1907 S Barber. Thanks for looking. All coins were saved with a At Pro in a well hunted park.

Just hunting today for a while. Scored a 1904 IHP, a junior LSS pin from the 30-40's (was given out to Boy Scouts that passed the Life Saving Service class), found a football charm to kids rings and a train rivet from overhauls. Thanks for looking and happy hunting to all

well went to my favorite park thats been totally hunted out supposedly. Found 8 pennies a dime and a nickel in 4 hours. The good news was the nickel is a 1900 V and one of the pennies is a 1902 Indian Head penny. Both were dug between 7 and 10 inches. Yesterday hit the same park got 4...

Does any one run the At Pro with the Big Nel coils 17"? Is it good for detecting deep coins especially dimes? I run the Storm and love it. Been finding dimes now down to 10". Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Went to an old park I thought I cleaned out. That was when I thought 6-8 inch coins were ask I could get. Slowed down completely and try to make every questionable signal in to a good one before I move on. Every one of these coins were found at 8 to 10 inches and to make sure the signal had...

Went to what I refer to as Merc park for 2 hours today and found a 1944 D Merc and a ring. The ring feels heavier than silver and rang up in the 70's on the At Pro. Here's the marking inside can anyone help me on what it is? Thanks for any help. You guys are usually awesome.

Not much today but I got an oldie, she's kinda ugly and worn and not that rare Well since Da Bears Stink I've been going detecting in some of my well hunted parks on Sundays and for the second straight Sunday I scored a Barber (1900 S). Got it with the At Pro and Nel Storm she was down just...

Stayed local and hit my new hot spot park. I got 2 Mercs 1939 D, 1941 S, 1 Rosie 1948 D, 1 War Nickel 1945 S, A Utah sales tax token and a 1914 D Barber Dime (dug at 9 inches). The only bad thing is most of the coins were in a hard gravel and dirt mix. My hunting partner also got his second...

Went to a couple of parks yesterday and today, scored a 1946 and 1949 S Rosies, a sterling cross, a cheap M (for MAckDog) ring, a victorian pin and 14 inch herring bone plated necklace. I found most of these with my At Pro, but did find my first 7 inch deep penny with the DFX a 1917 S in good...

It's been awhile but found a couple of interesting pieces Been out a coup[le of times while off work this week. I love the Shoe metal with the good luck symbols on the reverse. I've synth in Western and Eastern Treasure magazine. The swaztica used to be a good luck symbol before the Nazi's...

Took my newly repaired At Pro out for a water test. Well she ran awesome and no leaks. Caught 3 while ring fishing. One Silver one coper and one steel. The steel one is perhaps a Jewish ceremonial or wedding band. It is engraved both inside and out. If anyone can I identify what language...

So been running both the At Pr0o and the DFX against each other. Yesterday the Pro won with 2 Mercs. Today I used the Pro first again and got a handle full of clad. Then I went with the DFX and ran it at 15khz to work on nickels and jewelry. Got 9 nickels all clad and then I got another...

At Pro is back from shop and she's whining really good At Pro is back from the Doctors and she's trying to make up for lost time. Took her out to 3 parks and she scored 1917 S Merc, 1942 S Merc, 1919 Wheat and 1942 Wheat. All were found down around the 7" range, and were all schwa high...

Still waiting for the AT Pro to get back from the shop. Took the DFX out for walk in the park. Hit mostly clad but did score this 1902 V Nickel, I know it's tasted but it hit solidly at 7". So I'm getting to learn the DFX now. Thanks for looking

Well the At Pro came back yesterday and is no longer sick it's officially DEAD and going back in. So no water hunting, just using the DFX in a very hunted out highly trashy campground park. Found my 3rd silver there today. Set the DFX up to cherry pick pennies and above, and almost everything...

Since the At Pro is down been using my DFX with a sniper 4 x 6. It's been nailing coins in a very high trashy park at my campp ground. Today got a good signal and trashy sign; about 2 " apart. Couldn't pinpoint the good signal because the trash was so much stronger. After I du a pull tab...

I've been wondering if the MXT has the same depth as the DFX? Has anyone used them both? If so what are your thoughts on it? Thanks

Found this pin at a park that was started in 1904. It was down between 7 & 8" I think it could be from WW1 or WW2 but don't know. I would appreciate any help with history, age or ID. Used the nickel just so you can get an approximate size. Thank you as always for any help. MackDog

Went to a park today and found a few keepers. The Army pin was down 8 inches (any help with time frame or ID is greatly appreciated). The 1944 D war nickel was down around 6". The gold locked was found under an asphalt walk way from the 1920's. I got a good signal right on the edge and...

Went to 2 different new parks to try them out. Yesterday found the 1935 Merc down 7" today different park found the 1943 S Merc at 4". I was really surprised to see the silver edge when I dug the hole. It was right next to the kids play area a high hit area for parks. Thanks for looking

Went to the old reliable park and scored a 1909 S (No VDB) wheat (second one on two years) and a 1918 Merc. Thanks for looking

Found this don't know what it is Ok found this, my guess sometime of military award or medal. Found in a park that dates to 1902 Thanks for looking and would appreciate any info or leads from the experts here

went to different parks to day and scored a loyt of 60's clad. Gave up and spent the last hour at one of my old hunted out parks. Got a signal that was repeatable but really faint. Decide dot dig got down to 8" till I got a reading with the pinpointer. The Merc (1942 D) was on it's side but...

Finally after 2 and 1/2 weeks of no silver I got one. # wheat, 1910, 1921 S and 1936 D. Found a 1945 S Merc. Thanks for looking

DFX earned it's Jump wings and the AT Pro nailed a Barber and took home the ring Still trying to get the hang of the DFX so I split time with the At Pro. The DFX hit a nice set of jump wings at 4" and a few more coins. The At Pro hit the Barber (1906 S) at 8" and the silver ring (325) at 5"...

Yesterday went to a club hunt at a Boy Scout camp. found a a couple of wheats with the At Pro and a silver 1945 S war nickel with the DFX. Today went to a local park and found 50 plus clads with the DFX and a 1928 S Merc and a wheat with the At Pro. Starting to get used to the DFX and it is a...
