Spent 2 hours Friday evening and about 5 hours today hunting the area I call the Meadows. After jumping around all over the fields trying to find some other hot spots and only coming up with about 5 pennies, some marbles and a piece of play money, I headed back to the hot area where most of the finds had been made. This time I went real slow and let the Explorer do its stuff. And it worked very well. Most of the stuff was right on top or an inch or 2 deep, except for a big silver ID bracelet that was about 6 inches. It was tough to get to because the ground is so hard right now.

3 generations of silver dimes. The Roosie was found last night, the Barber and Merc were found today.

Here's a big, heavy ID bracelet. It's nameless, but it's marked Sterling. Also, a thimble, which appears to be silver, but unmarked.

Another pile of wheaties, 31 in all, and the oldest is a 1910.

Awsome collection of finds!
 

Fantastic hunt! The Meadows sounds like the perfect place to detect.

Congratulations on all the coins and that bracelet!

Now that's what I call a fun hunt. Very nice array of goodies. The Meadows needs to get hammered. Good luck on the future hunts and keep us posted.

Some nice classic early American coins, that's a great days hunt right there.
 

Great! With that kind of variety, you might find many more; I'll be curious to see what else you find.
 

You have yourself a real sweet spot,I would be hitting that site every chance I could.
 

I'll say you had a relly great day detecting.wish i could find me a hot spot like that.good luck.
 

Wow..great job!
 

Fantastic location and finds Bob. I can't believe you are digging in this concrete. I live not far from you and I'm hunting all I can in south Jersey right now. Beaches, lakes, sandy soil and tot lots. I can't wait for some rain so I can hunt close to home again!
 

The ground is so hard here in KY I have not even thought of detecting for the last few weeks. When its like work digging a target its not much fun to me. >:( >:(

Great finds! I especially like the pin- my grandmother had something similar that she called her "intaglio" broach. Yours has some nice ornamentation.
