The past 3 Fridays I hve been going out to Chicago to hunt with some of my Indiana hunting buddies, they always find lots of great old coins so have been on a crash course trying to make the leap from woods hunting (where I dig every coin and high tone) to super trashy park hunting. I have to say its a lot harder than I thought it would be but Im a quick learner. In the parks you may get 4 signals in a 12 inch by 12 inch square, the trick is to go at a snails pace so you don't miss anything deep. These are my finds, I also found $1.90 in clad. Watch the video to see the rest of the finds. :thumbsup:

Nice job! :icon_thumright: Looks like it was 6 hours well spent. Anytime old coins are found it's a great hunt, especially with a little silver as well. Great bunch of coins found by all.

Thanks for watching, yea that half cent was registering all over the place and I could only pinpoint in 1 direction, I'm glad I dug the plug. So that's my very 1st modern-ish half cent... Heck, thats my 1st half cent period... :tongue3:

Treasurefiend,
I always enjoy your videos! I have started videoing some of my hunts, but usually don't do as well as you so they wouldn't be all that interesting to watch. Maybe one of these days! lol

Que the banjo music!

Put them up, im sure they will be GREAT!!! For every video I put up I have several hunts that I never find anything good. I wish all of my hunts were like in my videos, like today I was out for 3 hours and only got 1 stinkin memorial..... :laughing9:
