DID SOME DETECTING

  I have been out the last couple of weekends, but nothing really to write home about.  I did manage a war nickel and wheat penny on Sunday along with lots of clad.  We had a lot of rain the past few days and the ground is a little better for digging.  Hopefully the up coming weekend will provide some nice finds.

HAD SOME LUCK

 I managed to get out with a friend today and we both had some luck.  My friend found a mercury dime, Indian head penny and some wheats.   I found a silver war nickel, some wheat pennies as well along with clad. We really need some rain as the ground is very hard to dig into.

MY NEW T-SHIRT

 

I had this T-shirt made as I plan to get more into detecting and have my own name. 

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.
