nice finds tft..that's a pretty nice haul, even w/o silver. bunch of clad and some cars...

Rich, If I put together all of the posts of stuff you've found and posted it on the MD forums, they'd go nuts...
You find crazy amounts of goodness..


.i've been out a few times in the backyard. Mostly clearing out trash. So much iron close to the surface. Nothing but iffy junk signals even at 1bar of sensitivity...
going to the RR this coming weekend. Hitting where the "nefarious" hobo gang camp was at between where the normal hobo town was and the dump...right along the RR tracks...
daughter and wife are going away for three days for soccer tourney, son and I are staying home with the dogs. Going to be exploring time. close to 2miles of track and grass/dirt on the sides. Neighbor said that there was tons of bottles and misc stuff there back when he was a kid...

Going to flea market, then detecting and digging. I guess I am lucky to find such an amount of stuff. Hope everyone has a good weekend and gets some finds. I kind of like this 60-70 degree day stuff.
Iron we may be up your way the first of July (3-8) or so. Going to do a UP trip and wander around. Will let you know as we get closer to the 3rd. If you may be around would like to swing by and say hello. Will surely have the detector too.

Got some detecting in, managed 14.26 in change, 1 sterling ring (small), a crushed copper bracelet, and one 1951 roosevelt dime, and 2 brass tokens. For some reason I found a good amount of quarters at the soccer fields. Also found a few brass fittings from something (put them in with the scrap).

Hey all, hope you are getting some finds. I found some clad (few bucks) 1 copper ring, and 1 sterling ring. No coins to mention. Ran into another detectorist, he had found 2.30 in change and one 1950 silver quarter.
Hoping to clean up this weekend. Good luck.

Went for a quick swing at a heavily hunted park and decided to hit some difficult and steep terrain. Figured if it was hard for me, then the more geriatric detectorists probably avoided the areas. Found a 1916, '24, '37, and '42 wheats and about 60 cents in copper cents and clad. And a naughty "Heads I win / Tails you lose" token, my third methinks. Only found 2 or 3 wheats total at the park before, so though I got no silver it is nice to know there is still old stuff to be had there if one is willing to walk sideways on very steep hills. HH all.

Tft-- that shell case looks like an old 30-40 Krag, neck looks longer than a 30-30 or 32 win. Plumb sounds like you got a few decent things too. Glad you guys are plugging away. Was up in the thumb area yesterday and only came away with 3.63 in clad change. Nothing else but 1 bottle tab, and a jeans button. Hope to do some beach area this coming weekend. Good luck all!.

Ok 1 silver 1964 dime...and about $7.50 in clad, 3 pop tabs, 4 brass grill fittings (scrap), 2 fishing lures, 2 keys, Rummage sales--scrap metals (faucets, pipes), some army BDUs, old wrenches, and some glass ware. Best find--new in the package ATC engine compression tester for 25 cents.....that went into the tool chest.
All the detecting finds were from a stroll through the thumb, took 46 to 25 then north, stated in Pt Austin and detected beaches, school grounds etc. Took 25 through south and had a nice weekend.
To top it off, finished with a 93 on the history final and final grade of 3.5 also liking the new Chevy malibu I picked up a bit ago. Brand new and gets great mileage.
Good luck fellow detectors!.
