Hello fellow treasure hunters. I've been able to get out and enjoy spring lately with a few good keepers. Also was able to score pretty big at the Coinstar too. My detecting spot was a swim beach from the 1920s to the 1940s. Spent 7 hours in 2 days here. Someone has cherry picked the high tones but left a ton of wheats, 1925 Buffalo, a few old nickels and some silvers. Also the usual spoons, keys, knife, lipstick and harmonica reed. I used the 6 inch coil on the nox to get into harder to reach brush and it payed off. Quite a bit of ground yet to cover. Ths spot was undetectable with my Ace 250 due to EMI from radio towers, but the nox had no problem. Had to drop the sensitivity to 18 at the lowest. It clearly was a spot meant to spend an afternoon and have a good time with family and friends. Now it's overgrown and mostly forgotten. You can see the parking lot, the pavilion and the beach in the old arial pic. Pavilion is gone and parking lot is now a dog park.

-The finds. What do you think of my display board? It's a piece of D&D terrain.

- The silvers. The cross pendant came out of the same hole in 3 pieces. I dont believe I broke it. It was at the base of a hill next to the mercury dime and 1914 wheat. Im guessing an eager kid took a spill on the way to the water.

- Coinstar Haul 1950s to 1970s. Mostly forign coins from Europe, Africa and Asia . 2 top center coins have silver content. 1/2 Franc and 25 ore. My best cornstar grab to date. Did someone cash in their grandparents travel change by mistake?

Thanks forlooking. Good luck everyone. Stay safe and happy hunting!

Nice finds! I particularly like the pipe stem and your date-ordered collection of pennies! What year do you think that pipe stem may date to?
Thanks UnderMiner. Had a blast digging those wheats. I had 6 in the first hour of detecting. 9 on that day. As for the pipe stem I'm not sure but I would guess between the 20s and 40s. Could be older could be newer.
A great bunch of finds - the 1932 Token is really cool !
Thanks ETrac. It's for sure one of my better tokens. It's in the token catalog along with 14 others with the same date and design. There are different products they offered. Looks like I need to find the rest now!

Very Nice!!! Great Research!!! Congrats!!!
 

Very Nice!!! Great Research!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks RJ. I've known of this spot for years. Glad to have finally had success there. First time I went there with my Ace 250 I thought I broke the machine because I never experienced EMI before 🤣 We live, learn and grow from experience. Return trips are in the future.
 

Well done getting the silver and coppers.
Looking at what was dug there's older coinage lurking in the area.
The tree line has certainly encroached on what open.
Have you done the trails yet?

Nice haul from the coinstar! Looks like someone had a jar full of coins that was sitting for some time...love the designs on foreign coins...thanks for sharing!
 

You're going to have to get some Scuba gear and do the water, there is probably some gold rings out there waiting to be found.

Cool finds! Congratulations
 

Well done getting the silver and coppers.
Looking at what was dug there's older coinage lurking in the area.
The tree line has certainly encroached on what open.
Have you done the trails yet?
Thanks pepper. I know for sure there is more to be found at this spot. I drew about where I was over those 7 hours. There is a creek that runs through the middle of the site at that tree line. I figured I'd stay away from the paths for now but will definitely get closer to them soon. The circle is where the merc, pendant and 1914 wheat were hiding.

Yeah for sure. Fortunately the river isn't that deep in the summer. No scuba gear required really. I have another swim beach I need to get In the water at also.
