GOT OUT FOR A SHORT HUNT

 I did get out this morning into the woods where I could dig better than being in a park.  Found only clad but at least I got to swing the detector.

I'm Back

 I can't believe I haven't been on for a few years.  Now I'm retired and work part time, I do less detecting than I did while I was working.  I hope to change that and get back to more detecting.   It's been a slow year in 2026, the weather is hot and the ground like concrete.  Only 1 silver so far this year.  Hopefully that changes soon. I'm praying for rain so the ground softens and I don't brake my wrist trying to dig.  Happy hunting to all that are out detecting. 

BEEN A WHILE

 I haven't been posting like I should, now that I'm retired I don't go out as much.  I have found some nice things can't believe this weather - detecting in December.    I'm going to have to do a better job on updating the blog.

GOLD AND SILVER WEEKEND

 

 Saturday my friend and I hit the woods and had a very good day with both of us finding silver and lots of wheat pennies.  The we hit some garage sales.

Sunday I went to a park for a couple of hours and found my first gold in quite a while.  It's a very small 14k ring weighing about 1.86 grams.   I usually don't dig 13 on the equinox because it's mostly pull tabs but I'm glad I dug this.

PAST WEEKEND SILVER

 

 

 A friend and I managed to get out into the woods this past weekend where I found a Roosevelt dime, V and buffalo nickel along with a couple of wheat pennies.  Detecting in the woods now is easy since there is no growth yet from weeds and the bugs are at a minimum.  

 We're going to try it again this coming weekend.

 

TOKEN

 

 

I had a chance to get out this past weekend and hit the woods with a friend.  I did manage to find this token but can't find any history on it.   If any one knows what this is - please let me know.

MAGNET FISHING

 Tomorrow is my last day of work then I'm retired for good.  I bought a magnet fishing kit last year and I plan on using it this spring once the weather breaks.  Looking forward to see what goodies I can find.
