Today's Finds - 05/16/06

I went out with Lee today and we hunted an old house that was dated 1875. It was a nice old brick home on a corner lot in a small town. I ended up with 10 wheats on the day, the oldest being 1920. I also got a nice green 1907 Indian Head Penny and 3 silver coins. A 1946 Roosevelt, and 42 & 45 Mercurys. I also got a 1910 Boy Scout Good Luck Token for Excelsior Shoes or however you spell it. This is the 2nd one that I have found, the other had a different reverse. I also got a Delco Rem badge/pin and a snoopy ring. I also got an old button. I can't make out the design, but Lee guessed early 1800s based upon the back of it.

The 1943S Silver War Nickel is from a $100 box of nickels I got at the bank after detecting.

Well here are some pictures:

Congrats on your finds. You seem to live in a parallel universe filled with wonderful old coins. Where do you find these places? Other people get old coins, but not as steady and bountiful as you. Whats the secret? Captain Kidd

It's a combination of things... Some is just blind luck, a lot is that I finally feel confident with my detector... it feels like I have become one with it.... It also doesn't hurt to be able to sweet talk a lady into getting permission at some of these places for you If you get a lady on your side you can take over the world

Thanks bud! It was a pain to learn it and I dug lots of trash at first.... but lately I have been able to predict what is going to come out of a hole based on the sound and the depth meter.

I finally broke the 1000 coin barrier today as well, finishing the day with 1011 coins for the year. I'm sure it could be a few thousand more, but I try to avoid digging any clad.

sweet, sweet, as always,,, but the other day i was park hunting got maybe 5 bucks,, the deepest coin was 1980s at 6 in ,, but a merc was at 2,, same soil conditions,, 30 feet apart,, thats what i like most about this hobby,, most times it makes no sense where you find stuff..

Re: Today's Finds - 05/16/06

Sounds like some real nice finds. Pictures are not showing up. ??

You sweet talk the ladies, huh? What do you do if a guy answers the door?

I have been getting bolder in asking permission. I'm very quiet so it's not easy but as they say the only sure no is not asking.

Re: Today's Finds - 05/16/06

Super finds and your posts are always accurate and inspiring.

You have two great things going: You're ambitious enough to go out and look for places to hunt and you're not afraid to confront people for permission.

Lacking in these two areas is probably what hinders most THers today.

Excellent work!

You DA man, Bsco! You have really mastered that "brain" machine! I have really become one with my machine as well. I know exactly how an IH sounds in a junky park. I have found 24 of those this year. HH!
