Popular Post Rob Posted March 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2019 I recently finished an intense work project that was a year and half long that seriously cut into my detecting time. Now that it's behind me, I'm finding more time to get out and swing. Researched a couple parks from the early 1900's yesterday and headed out this morning to see what I could find. We've had a tremendous amount of rain lately, making for very easy digging. Using a CTX 3030, I detected for about five hours. Almost right out of the gate, I popped a 1906 Barber "S" dime. Then nothing but clad for the next four hours, although it was a lot of clad.....$13.12. Then the last half hour, I dug a 1920 Mercury "S" dime and a 1943 Mercury "S" dime. Got six wheat cents to boot and a few junk trinkets. Happy hunting to all! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Well done Rob. I hope the project ended with less 'management' involved so it lets you get out more often. I guess we'll see with more posts. Mitchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Strick, I've managed some beach hunts as of late, however and surprisingly there hasn't been any significant erosion given all the storm activity. I did manage five old (walking liberty and Barber) coins from a beach last week. See this thread under Metal detecting for Jewelry... Happy Hunting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Rob, Any silver day (especially 3) is a great day at a park. What I enjoy is the odd bits. The small little narrow item looks to be a brooch that has enamel work in it? Would love to see a close up of it and the ear ring is the wire ear ring, if it is sterling. I love odd ornate pieces.

Tell him Dayray ? says hi! He used to detect with a guy named Rob, was why I asked. Nightray is a beast when it comes to detecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
