OK, I'm totally hooked! Stayed up waaay too late watching all your vids, but it was worth it. :-)

Question.... Do you carry a small backpack? Would be very handy for water, bug spray, ect.

Can't wait for the next hunt!

[TreasureFiend]

Thanks for watchin, yes I have a backpack most of the time to carry stuff, if I don't bring it along then I just hols everything in my pouch.

Freakin' awesome hunt!!! What a way to come back after a month, eh?  Nice finds. That Standing Liberty Quarter sure is sweet. Excellent silver finds! How'd your buddy do?

[TreasureFiend]

He didn't find anything too old but he is just takin the time to learn his new machine and didn't expect to find anything old anyways. He has an older Fisher that he kills everytime he uses it but he wanted to upgrade.

[BiggerThinking1]

[lookatthewholething]

Old fair grounds, boy scout camps, picnic areas, old train stations, old houses, etc. These guys do research all the time. I know I do. Use Google Earth in your your area, Topographic maps, history books, the library, and above all talk to old guys and gals from your are.

They know where old houses burnt down or where they use to picnic with their parents.Researching will find more places than you can possibly search in your entire life.You can't be lazy if you ever expect to find something cool

That is an awsome SLQ!!! Great job!

I am interrested in finding some silver coins. and was wondering if you have any tips

[infector101]

I would guess that he found a clad nickel with the war nickle and wheatie becuase the wheatie was green. That usually happens in the presence of a nickel.

[Coinguy56]

Very nice Standing LQ!!! I hear most SLQ that are found had rubbed off dates, and you were able to dig one with a readable date!! Excellent find, very nice sharp Mercs as well

Congrats

[Mastera5000]

when u found the wheatie and the war nickel, was that a third coin in the pile?
