When a Coin loses its Human.

Tue, 15 May 2012 01:40:19 GMT

After 38 years of metal detecting, I am still amazed at how coins are lost. What stories they could tell. It seems I could detect anywhere and find a coin old or new.Sometimes I just stand there and wonder what a person was doing in this place. Did he/she fall or did they sit and rest awhile in that spot. Did they put there back pack down not knowing they had a small hole in it where a coin could sneak out. We will never really know, but what we do know is, where people tread, coins will be lost. Still Love this hobby after all these years.

Hi Everyone!

I did a little bit of hunting this afternoon in Rush City. My very first target turned out to be a 1901 Indianhead in very nice condition! This was my first but hopefully not the only Indianhead I'll ever find. I'm thrilled!!

Clad city

Sat, 12 May 2012 19:31:11 GMT

Went for a 3 hour hunt in mankato this morning. Found a hot spot for clad. $17.45 later and a 2009 class ring from Fairbault Mn. The ring doesnt seem to be gold though. There was a name inside the ring and I found the person on Facebook. She can have it back if she responds to my message. Also has a silver chain attached to it. It was either go fishing or metal detecting. I decided on Dirt Fishing. Have a great day everyone.

Small Stillwater park

Sat, 12 May 2012 13:40:51 GMT

Hi Everyone!

I had some errands to run in Stillwater and brought my detector along for company. I drove around and found a small park and came back with 5+ in change, including a 1944 wheat cent, and a really nice silver ring. The ring has an inscription on the inside of the band, so I might just be able to find it's owner. That would be as fun as finding the ring!

That makes $60.00 found in this year alone. I am starting to think there is some rich guy watching my route and strategically placing crisp folded 20's in my path. and yes they have all the US security features so I know they are not fake.
