    Hello everyone, I recently went to Vermont, and went detecting, coin roll hunting and garage saling. I found my first ever half dollar, a 1944 Walking Liberty, and in the same hole was a 1947 Rosie. Found some great stuff at the bank as well. Thanks for looking!
  4. Small Coinstar find! [SILVER!]

    This actually happened yesterday, but I just got around to getting on my computer today. So I went into my local grocery store to pick up a couple of things. On my way out, I pondered if I should deviate from my path to the exit to check the Coinstar machine. I had a strange feeling that...
  5. Cool and slightly creepy - compartment ring with snakes on top

    Ok, been lurking for a while but never posted any finds until now. Always thought this was pretty neat, but with no markings or anything, it's hard to say what it was meant for, although I can guess. It's heavy like silver, and you can see from the bottom where it was attached to the main ring...

  11. Thinking about some sites near home.

    I moved to Pennsylvania about 8 years ago and just got back into detecting. I was going looking through some of the history here and found there use to be a 19th century prison in what is now a park as well as a bunch of old 1920's resorts on the top of one of the mountains. Who would I have to...
  12. Need Help To Identify Todays Find

    Need Help To Identify Today's Find I found this today detecting out on a claim. Made the Gold Bug scream. It's a beast of a rock, 5.5oz. When I scratch the black surface off it appears silver. It is not magnetic. Is it silver? Palladium or Platinum would be much nicer :headbang:

  16. A Big One Off The List and Iron Galore... Just your average day.

    Well May did not have the silver numbers I wanted, but I got a big first for me. I always like to have a particular goal in the back of my mind when detecting. There’s the “daily goal” and the “next on my list” goal. I have to say that most of the places we hunt, either have bad EMI, bad iron...
  17. What if...?

    I have always wondered about this question: What would you do if there were no half dollars to search? (no box orders, very low mintages, only pre 1964 would have been silver) Taking in account that I'm in Canada and here no bank would order any halves at all. They have really low mintages and...
