Howdy all,
Hope you are all having a great 2009, I know I sure am. I have been hunting every day so far. On the 1st I managed a 1952 D rosie. That was a great first keeper for the new year. Then on the 2nd I hunted with Detectingfreak and got to see him get his first merc. That day I only managed 4 wheats with the oldest being 1927. Still any wheat is a keeper in my book. Then we get to today. I hit the yard across the street from me. I have been systematically removing trash from this yard to try and get the better signals without overloading every 2 feet. It seems to be working although time consuming. First keeper today was the 1944 India 1 pice coin charm. Then I was working a part of the yard that everyone has always parked on. It has eroded a lot over the years and is mostly gravel and dense soil. Thats where I got the 1908s barber dime. Not very deep but packed in the tough soil tightly. Then I got the 1936 canadian cent. So not a bad day at all. Only 3 days into the new year and I have managed keepers all 3 days. Detectingfreak is headin my way in the mornin, so should be another great day. Luck in the hunt.

Nice finds, Juju! I love barber dimes, just love them.

I've only been able to get out a couple times this week, for one hour each time. Found some iron pieces in lots of gushy mud but no silver yet. I'm beginning to think the area where I'm detecting has been "filled" at one point. I'm finding aluminum cans and scraps of aluminum 4-6" deep when I should be finding IHs and barbers. Only one coin has come out so far (that 1917s penny), but I'm not done with it yet. They city will be doing some digging of the area soon to install public bathrooms, and that's when I'll pull out the 10x12 coil.

Keep up the good hunting, bud.

Excellent 09 finds there buddy. I am impressed, wish I had your weather over here in on the other side of the mountain. Temp is 4 degrees F with snow in tomorrow. You need to keep your digital camera on movie mode next time he does his happy dance when he finds another silver coin. Wish I could have seen him dance around, LOL.
Keep on pickin up those great finds and save some for me in the spring.
