merc

Hey all, been out of the hobby for a bit. Went out with a new Equinox 900 and scored a merc and '38 wheat in a pounded sports field. Forgot how fun this hobby is. Heading back to the field with the 15"coil tomorrow. Good luck all!

Howdy all, I went out yesterday for about two hours and here's what I found. I was at the site I posted about a few days ago with the early-mid 1800s, 1930s, and 1950s houses all three pretty much on top of each other. My first hunt yielded an indian, two mercs, an 1835 lc, and some other...

Today was a great day! Here’s a little back story- I started metal detecting in November and I’ve been absolutely hooked. I’ve detected every single day since. This is going to be my life long passion/ hobby. I’ve found hundreds of coins in my short time digging- But they all have been mostly...

I went to an old park late this afternoon to try my luck. This park had been hit pretty good over the years but I wanted to get away from the trashy city curb strips. I haven't had this Explorer II very long so I'm still in the learning process. I hunted about 90 minutes with no luck then got a...

Went out with my good friend Hi Ho Silver for a half day. We found some really nice coins and relics. Second barber half in one week! Also, an error mercury dime, a semi-key wheat, a burnt seated, and an eagle button. GI

I have been getting barely anything from halves boxes since the beginning of the year (one or two here and there) so I decided to just go on an all out dime hunt yesterday. I stopped at five different banks and picked up a total of six dime boxes. I also picked up a box of nickels for fun. (I...

Always Practice Safe Detecting, You Never Know What You'll Find Went out today with my buddies, Hi-Ho-Silver and the Tone Ranger. We had a great time despite the near 100 degree weather. Found several good coins throughout the day. The dig included several interesting stories. A previous...

If you said Mercury you are right! Lame I know but isn't that what you are supposed to say something really corny with good finds? Anyway, I went back to the back that I scored the v nick collection just to see if I could sneak some dimes/quarters in. Quarters produced nothing at all. Dimes...

Hooray for spring! I recently took some time during a rainy spell to do some more research before the sunny weather returned, and managed to locate the site of an old picnic grove heavily used from the 1880s onward. Without giving away too much, let me say that not much about it has changed...

I was finally able to get out today for some tecting! The weather kept threatening to dump on me at any moment but it stayed dry. I was born on a Friday the 13th, so it has always been my lucky day and today was no exception.
