Old Coin Sandwich

I guess this is going to be a two post day. And I guess I have to do a bit of explaining now. The other day, Tuesday night I think, I read a post on a Deus users forum whereas a well respected and...

Too cold for the end of April

I tried to hunt today. I really did. I went out to Riverside park here in Doo-Dah and gave it the old college try. I spent about 30 minutes in the wet, cold, windy park looking for that Seated that I...

Trash talk and a Merc

I went to a small park for lunch to swing the Deus over dirt from 1920. This is another stamp-size park in my beloved city that has been hunted heavily. In fact, while I was hunting, an old timer came...

Lunch Time Rosie

I took my XP Deus metal detector to a park that I have hunted in the past with other detectors with not much luck. The park is over 100 years old but it is small and most of the space is taken up by...

Today for lunch, I returned to the park where yesterday I found a Roosevelt dime. When I got there, I remembered that there was a spot where I found an Indian Head cent almost exactly one year ago. At...

Sweet Coin Spill

Maurice (my XP Deus metal detector) and I have done it again at another old park. I began hunting this park a few days ago because it is an old park, it is a trashy park, and it is a mid-sized park....

Another 1916 Merc

…without a mint mark! Sigh! I took Maurice, my XP Deus metal detector, to a city park that opened in 1925. Other hunters in my group have found silver there but I hadn’t yet. Until today that is. When...

I Was Not Supposed To But I Did

I had written off detecting for the first day of June. I had a big commitment for the first part of the day and a bbq at a friend’s house in the latter part. However, when we arrived at the bbq, I was...

I stopped at a park on my way home from work last night. The spot I selected to hit with my XP Deus metal detector was a spot I hunted often in the past. I’ve pulled many a keeper from here including...

A Buffalo for my troubles

I haven’t found any silver coins in the last week. I have been hunting dirt that is likely to produce a Seated coin but I have not found one yet. I did find this cool Buffalo nickel at Riverside park...
