My finds today Kinda getting frustrated

[N9PAR]

I have found allot today but kinda disappointing it's all new stuff.I'm very stubborn so I will not give up.

 

[recondigger]

Keep on plugging away

I am in the same boat. I have found a small sterling ring but still looking for my first silver coin. Keep hunting. How do you like your Fisher?

 

[N9PAR]

It seems to work very well.Plus I like the 5 year warranty.

 

[prolab69]

try just digging the 6 to 8 inch signals, go slow and skip those shallow ones. my fisher takes a slow swing to pick up those deep ones, depending on your area of course" good luck

LOL, I don't mind clad...send yours my way.

Hang in there, not all hunts are productive. Just take it as learning time on your detector. Been at this for over 25 years ill have months of non stop finds than nothing for weeks. Had a pretty decent last weekend, today a old pin and a 1926 wheatie but I just keep tellin myself next week ill make up for it. Try not to get down.

I feel your pain but finding any coin that hasn't seen the light for awhile is all good. I would rather be finding newer coins than nothing at all. It still leaves me lots to goals like, silver coin, wheatie, IH, gold, 1/2 dollar and so on but so far it has only been finding new stuff. I have found my first ring so can move on to the next goal whatever that might be.

Any day that your metal detector finds metal, it's successful lol. The old stuff comes with research, finding the old sites and areas where people frequented. You may still find some clad, but the oldies will be mixed in a little deeper. Keep your chin up, and best of luck to you!

At least you're digging clad. Better finds do come but research is a big key as Ace stated. I was told when I first started by a veteran MDer, "You won't find old coins until you get your coil over old soil." Good advice.

A 1.95 is still better than sitting at home watching TV. At least you getting fresh air and exercise.

One thing that always works 100% of the time and never ever fails.... persistence.
Keep at man the goods will come.
ZDD

 

[MarkDz]

Hey, I've had worse days than that. Better to find clad than can slaw!

 

[Metal Magnet]

your absolute best quality is persistence. but this only gets you so far. you can be as persistent as a honey badger, but you need to research places like crazy. i probably spend 60-70% of my time researching. that makes the time out really rewarding. the fact that you are finding coins shows you know what you are doing with the detector! you've got 2 out of 3. dont give up.

 

[highnam]

It looks like your site has some age...I think that's a model t drain valve and perhaps a piece of a pocket watch.

 

[silversweeper]

um if you think that's a bad day you should see what I've found on my last several hunts........yesterday I hunted all day hoping to find some goodies on two old home sites on family land, both dating to the early 1900's at least and never detected before. I had a good long hike to both to star with and then I came home with one aluminum religious pendant, a couple of small fired round balls, and a few fragments of harmonica reeds. No coins and nothing worth taking pictures of. The hunt before that...on another old home site.....one wheat head penny that someone used for target practic, a play coin, a dime, and some trash. The one before that......couldn't have been much better because I can't even remember finding anything. That's the nature of the hobby. You have to enjoy the hunt. If you make it all about how much you find and how much those finds are worth, you may as well find something else to do for fun because there will be good days and bad days. If you're lucky, every once in a while you will have a great day and/or find a great site that produces goodies for a few different trips. However, even the great sites stop producing after a while. Keep at it, there will be better days (and worse of course). HH and Good luck!

Don't be mad, at least you got some clad!
