Hey folks,

I haven’t been getting out as much as I did in the old days but I’m still trying to pound the ground a few days a month.

I’ve been keeping busy with work and home renovations. I hope you’ve all been doing well! I hope to get in the groove on here again. I know I’ve been missing a lot of your great finds,

Here are the finds from my last few outings.


6/27

I got out to some permissions with my brother and a buddy (socially distanced). I didn’t get nearly as many old coins as I hoped but I still got a few keepers to make the outing worth it!

My favorite find of that outing is the holed CCC Cascarets token. Of course there is nothing wrong with a 925 ring either.


7/16

I got out a couple days ago and had more success than I could’ve hoped for. At a 1920s site I found a first-year, 1892 Barber Dime (as well as some wheats). It was hot and wearing a mask while detecting isn’t ideal but that’s a sign of the times I suppose!

7/18 (Today)

A friend and I met and tried to find remnants from an old Chinese community on a beach. That didn’t exactly pan out but it was still a fun day filled with some notable finds.

The top finds were the dateless Barber Dime, a 1944 Merc, am 1897 V Nickel, a small buckle and 11 wheats.

Not a bad way to spend a day. Thanks for looking everyone, I really appreciate it.

Take care and I’ll catch you all soon!

Nice finds! Given your location, I would've expected an "S" mintmark on that dime- would've been worth some $- regardless, Congrats!

Still Alive and Well, every now and then it's kind of hard to tell, but I'm still alive and well! (Great song by Johnny Winter). Great finds, I hope your luck continues!

Hey, I’ll meet you at CHOP.

Nice fids dude, thanks for posting.

Are you heading near the city to do your hunt, or have you found hunting grounds near your new neck of the woods?
