You guys are so lucky in the UK. Find ancient coins all the time, it seems.

It had warmed up enough here in the past 2 weeks to go out but I couldn't find time. And now there is a dusting of snow on the ground. I am ready for spring to begin.

Those ancient coins, are they silver, pewter..? Got permission from a friend to hunt his backyard. Probably 75 yards deep behind the house, a river on it, and built probably in the 1940's or 50's, so really hoping for some good finds. Going with a friend's son. He's younger and kinda quiet, so he needs some companionship, and it'll be nice to have a partner. (hope he doesn't find all the good stuff!  ) Wish us luck! |

Yesterday's finds: Yard  Junk  Friend's first silver ever, and first coin of the day. I was jealous.  My horde  57d quarter, 43s merc. my first of both!  wheaties, not all identified yet. any suggestions for removing the corrosion without destroying the coin?  All in all, a great day, and beat the rain that's falling for the last 24 and will continue till tomorrow morning. Cheers! |

Man,I'm so envious! Both about the silver and being able to get out. I've got a nasty fever and I have to turn my computer's brightness down.
Nice silvers though!

I soak my wheaties in olive oil for a long time and it seems to work pretty good. Congrats on the silver. I have only found 1 merc, last year.

I figured out that I have my oldest find now! A shotgun shell from 1926-1930! Yes!  Might not be a lot, but still cool. I gotta find the cord that plugs my camera into my computer now..... |

Thanks, everyone. we gotta keep at it guys! perseverence! we have friends! we have family! there's always somewhere to detect, I believe. Here's our second day at friend's house: Property was flooded from heavy rains on east coast; this was AFTER the water receded. There was literally a 2 ft. fish in the water you see on the lawn. It was a carp, and it was huge. They were able to net it in a river net and put it back in the river.      Also, did a tot lot today for about 20 mins; .35 cents found and lots of those wire brackets in the ground. |
