    Averaged $2/hr on a Sunday trip

    I was able to hit one park and two schools this weekend with the Ace 250, and I managed to find about $16 total in clad. No silver, no old coins, and no good jewelry. Coin totals included 45 Q, 46 D, 7 N and 17 P. Also found one junker ring and a Canadian penny. The nickel count is high for me...

    A Day Late & a Dollar Short (My Finds From 2021)

    As I mentioned in the title, I know this is a long overdue post of my findings in 2021. Some things had come up, and obviously I kept putting it off... :roll: It was my 5th year in this hobby, and, only getting out 6 times last year I did find the least in quantity of clad, but it was probably...

A curious landowner come right over laughing about Gary Drayton detecting Oak Island (about 35...

    My 2020 MDing Wrap-up (Fourth Year Finds)

    Last year started pretty well for me. In fact, I thought I might even have my best year; then several things came up that unfortunately prevented me from getting out as much as I hoped to, and I ended up having my lowest clad year. :( Still, it is always fun MDing with my brother and sister, and...

    Tracker IV finds

    What are some of the best finds you’ve made with a BH Tracker IV. That’s what I have and all I’ve been digging is clad (only been out twice, but hit part of a 20s house). Just wondering some of the oldest and deepest stuff you’ve found with the Tracker IV. :?:

    My 2019 MDing Wrap-up (Third Year Finds)

    Sorry it has taken so long for me to post this, I have been meaning to get this done for quite some time, but other things that took priority came up. I really enjoyed using my new detector that Silversmith45 gave me in the 2018 Christmas gift exchange, and I even found my first ever silver &...

    ENDED Guess my 2019 Clad - Deadline for Entries is March 31, 2019 @ 11:59 PM CST

    Welcome to my contest! :wave: The objective of this contest is to guess how many coins I find & and how much their face value is for my 2019 MDing season. :mder: If I find silver coins, cents pre 1959, nickels pre 1939, foreign coins, or any other coins not considered clad, they will not be...

    My 2018 MDing Wrap-up (Second Year Finds)

    Looking back at 2018, although once again, I didn't find anything valuable (that I know of :laughing:) I had a wonderful time detecting with my dad, brother, & sister. The suspense of not knowing what the next plug may hold, whether it's clad, an old coin, a relic, or even trash, is such a...

    Post Your 2019 MDing Goals

    My goals are to find 100+ coins, $10+ in clad, 1 silver, & 3 wheaties. :grin: Not very high, but 2017 I found $15.75 and 1 wheatie, 2018 I found $10.40. So it would be nice to find some more wheaties and I'm hoping I find my first silver! :mder: Hopefully, I will do a lot better this year, with...

    The future of US coins?

    I have heard several speculative comments on the future of coinage in the US. Including some of my comments. For instance I have noticed that 5 years ago when going to Quicktrip (a popular chain of high volume gas stations and mini-stores) I could walk the parking lot of say 25 parking spaces...

    Finally got tired of finding clad

    Ok, for the past 2-3 years with my AT Pro I was mainly hunting modern parks all developed in the 1970-1980 here in North Atlanta so no silver at all to be found in these parks. But lots of clad in park, tot-lot, volley ball courts and some soccer fields. Switched to some old home sites, and same...

    My Largest Coin Spill Ever!

    Yesterday, my sister and I went to a totlot for an hour. This park has been producing a lot of clad for us. When we got there, we started detecting in the wood-chips by the playground equipment; I found a quarter and a penny. :detector: After a couple minutes of searching I went over to detect...

    My 2017 MDing Wrap-up (First Year Finds)

    2017 was my first year MDing, and I had so much fun! :D Although I didn’t find anything very valuable (that I know of :laughing:), I found out very quickly that the most valuable part is having fun and enjoying the hunt. I love the thrill of not knowing what’s in the next plug, whether it’s...

    Learning and improving

    Finally got to get out in the yard with an improvement in the weather and do some searching. Up to today the only things I have found with minimal time is pull tabs,nails, cans and misc trash . After the first day I started to improve and found a bullet (modern copper cladded) but an improvement...

    Its my first day out for 2016 (Its finally perfect weather) and i'm happy with my findings for a quick 45 Minute hunt. $1.92 in Clad. Went and swept over some obvious spots at the local tot-lot. (Swings, Slides, and Monkey Bars) :grin: Hoping someone could give me some quick suggestions on...

    random thoughts

    Would it be wrong to drop my salvaged biodegradable faux copper pennies in one of those red kettles? I figured they would blend in nice with the other tons of coins they collect.

    I found 33 dimes and nickels this morning...

    ...and I've been happy all day! A buddy and I were at a new park. I stumbled into an area of thick grass where I recovered 28 clad dimes and 5 nickels at ground level below the grass roots. None were buried, and none were visible; a few took 20-30 seconds to recover the because the grass was...

    Hello everyone! My name is Casey. I just joined this forum a few minutes ago. I have never been metal detecting before but have recently become very interested in it. I've always loved finding things while walking around. My mom calls me the eagle eye because I'm always finding change and stuff...
