scolded today but worth it
Went past an old pumping station today that was real old brick and said what the heck. 20 minites and I got a real light hit reading dime. the deeper coins are real hard to find and this was no exception. 10 minutes and a large stack of dirt later out pops my silver dime. 1902-S barber is my first one in 5 years. Not in great condition but I am happy. Moved on and got another dime hit at 7 inches and dug for 10 min. again and a city truck pulled in and told me I was tresspassing and told me to fill hole and leave or he would call cops! Dang that other dime is bothering me big time now. So went down to coin roll park and mustered up another $1.56 in clad. To date now stands at $104.51HH~Andy~

lmao
went to newer park today thinking it might be 1 of my last for year and what a treat I received! Got loud 80 reading and thought aluminum can and dug anyway! I have found a couple of rolls in my life but never 2 in 1 hole! Rolls were rotted but coins were there and some looked like new except edges. 2 full rolls of dimes which I had to dig and dig for until all 100 were recovered! I figure they were lost in 96 because all dates were from 67-96 and most were 95! Never think twice about digging as I almost did! Also found 5 newer quarters,1 nickel and 7 pennies before stopping in 2 hours. $11.37 in 2 hours is like minimum wage! hehe! OMG brought my total to $100.01 for year. I cant possibly quit yet, I'm still laughing!

Indianhead park
I love this old park I've tryed a couple times and gave it a name! Found $3.33 today with my 3rd Indian head... an 1889 in good condition! Also found a 1942-S silver nickel and a 1946-S nickel which are rare and 2 wheaties(1942-1945). Two other 50's nickels and alot of 65-70 dimes and quarters. And to add to the fun I found a musket ball and a pounded metal arrowhead! To date coins are at $88.64HH~Andy!

Another 40 degree day with rain all changed by 10 am as southerly wind pushed rain north and brought in 70 degree day, 1st time in 3 and a half weeks. Time to dig and was shocked at 2nd Indian head, again an 1891. this is really weird as I found 2 v-nickels this year(both 1912) now 2 Indian head pennies (both 1891)? I've detected on and off for 32 years and seen alot of strange things, but this takes the cake! Found $2.84 in 2 hours brings my total for year at 85.31 Biggest finds were 2 gold rings(got $246 for them), 5 silver rings,22 silver coins,36 wheat-backs and 2 indian heads of which I kept all for collection! I now need just 3 wheaties to fill my 1930-1958 book! Next year I plan on denting that 1909-1940 book hard as lots of spaces remain!

nickel day!
Was at bank today as it rained and temp. around 40! Said to myself "lets cash in these coins and buy somemore! Good choice, brought home $20 in nickels and was astonished at what I found...
1935, 1935-D, and 1937-D buffalos all in different tubes! And I also found a 1943-S silver nickel and 1939-D and about 20 more from 40's and 50's! I think I found a lucrative way to detect over the winter!HH~Andy~

Gosh, it seems like forever since I've been here, but I'm back! Been working with marriage thing and now that is out of way I hope to detect a few more times before snow! Honeymooned in vegas and now its time to earn some money back! Went out today in 40 degree temps and found 2 silver rings, a timex watch, a christian token and $6.85! Included in my finds were my first Indian head penny(1891), V-nickel(1912)-2nd 1912 this year and 7 wheat backs. My year to date total is now at $82.47! Cashed in my 2 gold rings for $246 but have kept the 20 silver coins and 4 silver rings so I estimate I'v found around 450 bucks this year! Great for a hobby! Still looking for job!
