rosie

Last summer I spent a lot of time researching old houses in our area, but unfortunately only made it out to one of them. However, yesterday after church my sister Chelsea and I went to an older area nearby with several old houses, which I had found using Historic Aerials. The first couple we...

Here are all my hunts from November. :D I was really blessed this month with my finds, which included my first ever CRH Mercury dime, 2 different variety Canadian silvers, and even a roll with 3 silver coins! :shock: Total I searched just over 6 boxes of coins; below are my results: Dime Box...

Been a while since I posed an update. Here's the results of October's boxes of dimes. I got my first proof, which is also silver, and a few mercs, old rosies, and 3 almost BU rosies. TQ for looking and good luck.

Here are all my hunts from September. :D I was having really bad success with the N.F. Strings rolls, then, at the beginning of the month, they ordered a box of nickels from Loomis. I did really well and found 2 Buffs in high-grade condition, so I asked them if it would be a problem to start...

Well it's been some time since I posted a CRH update till now. I have gone through quite a few dime boxes and this is my bounty. I was so thrilled to see the worn silver edge of the 1917 merc and old canadian, I am still hoping for a barber soon. I have averaged 2 silver per box, is this...

Here are all my hunts from July. :D I was specifically targeting dimes and unfortunately was onto a major skunk streak (and it didn't help that my order came in a week late once, too). :lol: I was at 6 skunk boxes of dimes in a row (continuing from the end of June) when I found a silver dime in...

Here are all my hunts from May. :D I searched through almost seven boxes of coins last month; below are my results: Penny Box #1: 1940, 1944 x2, 1945, 1947-S, 1950, & 1955-D x2. Penny Box #2: 1936, :clap: 1940, 1944, 1945, 1950-D, 1951-D x2, 1952, & 1956. Penny Box: #3: 1932-D, :clap: 1942...

Here are all my hunts from March. :D It was a great month for me, I looked through nickels, dimes, quarters, & halves. My main credit union doesn't carry halves and charges a fee to order them, so once again I stopped at a secondary bank and asked for their customer wrapped halves. At first, she...

Had to go to the Kroger store to get birthday card and sum Tums. Of course I always check Coinstar. About every other week I find something. Mostly foreign coins and silver dimes or zinc pennies. If it is to be silver, it is always a silver dime. Why? do they weigh less or more than regular...

Went to grocery store for the wife. When I entered the store I headed right to the Coinstar as usual. But abruptly stop since there was a guy and two kids loading in their change. I figured with the two kids, they would check the coin return. Upon checking out, passed real close to it and...

A few weeks back I asked my credit union if they could order halves and they said they'd have to charge a 10 cent fee per roll, and the least they could order was $1,000. Therefore costing a $10 fee! :( So I ordered a box of dimes instead, which they said there wouldn't be a fee on. :D Picked it...

Last weekend I picked up the most coins I've ever got in 1 hunt, 1 box of nickels and 1 box of dimes for $350. Here are my results: Nickels 1943-P :clap: 1943-S :clap: 1945-P :clap: 5-Cent Euro :D Canadian nickel :) Dimes: 1962-D (My first silver dime found CRHing! :woot:) 2 2009-D low...

Got out for a couple hunts this weekend and found a silver coin at each one. I will admit that these were like hunts 9 and 10 for the year, so it's not like I am finding tons of silver but I will certainly take it when I find it. From the postings it looks like folks are generally off to great...

Took my usual lunchtime break at my 'claim' on the old base housing area. Decided to go back and grid one of the earlier sites, and it paid of well. First signal was a wheat at three inches, and I managed a total of 5 in the 45 minutes I had to get geared up, hunt and break back down. As...

So far the old base housing has been kind to me, and it keeps giving! Pulled my fifth silver dime on site yesterday, along with 5 wheats. In the past week I have found nearly 40 wheats, the silvers, my first token, a large penny from Australia and one metal play coin on this site. Can hardly...

We had a Air Force Base here starting in the WW2 days, and it was active until 1971. I recently got permission to hunt the enlisted housing area just off base ... all six square blocks!! The units are now low rent housing ... and about half unoccupied. Everything is still as the Air Force...

I've been diggin almost every week since getting a metal detector as a Fathers Day gift. since then I've found 5 rings a nice old navy pin 25 wheaties 1926 oldest and a while back I found a buffalo nickle so worn can't see the date but at least it's a 38. I have found alot of clad and junk but...

Got out this afternoon for a dig in the nice 81 degree weather. I decided to go back to where I found some large cents and a king George copper and was hoping to score another. I didn't find what I expected to find though. I got a really bouncy signal on the at pro and decided to dig it. Popped...
