Last 4 hunts, a Merc, an old token, and a few other things

[DFX-SE Gregg]

Here are the finds from my last 4 hunts....the pic includes 331 coins, $23.26 in clad, a 45 Merc (found today), a token dated 1959...which is very thin and had to be bent into shape to read... A few strange finds from a tot lot the other day...a 38 and 47 nickel.... a tiny pin (polish), and the clad. The ring pictured with the clad which appears to be gold was a fooler...

Nice finds Greg. You must be approaching 11000 by now. Congrats on the silver and that token is pretty cool.

Nice finds Gregg, thats alot of digging and closing in on $700. After todays 18 coins, including two wheats(17, 18) I'm at 9040 coins and a total of $753.33. I might get to 10,000, but not sure!! Anyways, super totals and nice Merc too!! Silver is always a thrill!!

Thanks Jack you were the first one I thought of when clearing $700.... I only consider those that have actually posted their finds....great work....looks like $800 is there for you....

I just looked at my logs from last year....I from this date to the end of last year hunted 23 more times...fingers crossed...so you can do it...I know you can...I thought about slowing down...but running through so many programs now trying to gain some depth to decide if dfx will be my #1 or #2 detector next year.... If you see Explorer Gregg... or F-75 Gregg...or the one I was thinking about dfx explorer Gregg you know what happened!

After all that digging, it's nice to be rewarded with a Merc on occasion!

If I can get a couple more 200+ coin days with decent quarter counts I'll get $800. I'll be swinging all winter, rain or sleet!! When the snow hits the ground I head to the woods and I may only find ten coins a week, those ten coins are usually all keepers!! I'm just not smart enough to stay in the warmth!! Hopefully you'll choose the detector that will suit your needs, and only you know that. BUT, DFX, Explorer, or F-75, I don't think you'll go wrong. One thing is research those Parks near you to see where the older activity was a few hundred years ago...when you find silver, start gridding and dig everything deep, see what comes out of the ground. I know, I know, you know that already, but since you changed your detecting a little, more silver should be popping up!!

Thanks for the first time in a while..my fingers are even sore...

Nice merc! Mercs always put a smile on my face. The litte crest with the eagle reminds me of the armband the Croation police used when I was in Bosnia in the early 90's. The Serbian police.......They wore purple tiger stripe camo and tride to blow us up. MDing is a much safer past time . P.S., you should have a good start on a different detector with 700 in clad.

You are right...deciding to dig less pennies has helped me increase my dollar amount....guess the 100 coin days will probably be cut more than in half next year...and coin count will be alot lower...but I want that silver count up....

Thanks...the little crest was 3.5 inches down...always enjoy finding stuff like that....seems now when I post 3 days of hunting instead of one...I have a few interesting things to show...

Since I took the photo with all my finds when I hit my goal...which included my dog tags up to then...I have found two more with info on them....I am going to take a pic of all my dog tags together from this year... I think the last two I found are very current...was just talking to my daughter about calling them when i am off on Wednesday... My days off rotate through the week each week... so I usually hunt after work in mornings...then rest on my days off...will be a good time to call... When I was hitting my 10,000th coin...the signal I dug right before it was a dog tag...

You are impressive, Gregg! Your new style is working well. Good luck on purchasing that F-75.

Thanks less coins...but more quarters...only one 100 coin day this month and I have been out 8 times...but the dollar amount per hunt is much improved....

Still trying to decide on another detector....only really have 2 in mind...explorer and F-75...but will kept the dfx....someone has to clean up all that clad!

Congrats on that merc Gregg!

Nice accumulation of finds.....you've got to be a tired MD'er after the summer you've had. BTW - That 'token' is actually play money.

Nice finds Gregg, I wanted to tell you I found a dog tag at a house one block north of the address on the tag..I took a chance and the owner who lived there said her ex husband brought home a big Chow once and it ran away about 10 years ago. She called her daughter and she said she just cried..I wish I could have found the whole dog for her, who knows what happened to it.
