OK lets keep the finds and pictures rolling in for 2013. Thanks for posting some great finds and pics in 2012!

Ended year searching a old farmhouse no longer standing. No coins but found an engine part that looks like it is a 2 port intake cover. Added it to the pile to be scrapped.

Total for the year (since 12/8):
2 quarters
17 dimes
42 pennies (7 cu/35 zn)
Happy new year !!

Got out for about 2.5 hours this AM at a local park:
1 dime
3 pennies (1 cu)

Living in the land of hard water in the winter,now two ft thick,ground as hard as the ice, I have to enjoy the finds of you boys and girls to the south of me.

Congrats on the new machine. I just got an Etrac a few weeks ago. Ive had it out once. I think it will be easier to use than I initially thought. I wish I hadnt waited so long to get a nice Minelab now. I have been out several times this year so far. I will try to post up some pics of my finds soon. If anybody wants to watch some highlights of my detecting hunts here is a link to my Youtube

b man where are u detecting for such great luck, my goal for the short term is my first merc, i try to hunt old parks in my area , any suggestions on hotspots or webpages for research?
in in central pa thanks in advance

frank t,
the area I usually hunt is an old Navy housing complex that was built during WWII. They tore down all of the houses a few years ago and the county took it over. Half of it is now part of a park, the other half is going to be for commercial use but no signs of anything yet and they still cut the grass!

nice b and keep posting the scores

I made it back to my favorite hunting grounds today and it didn't let me down!

I found:
1 quarter
4 dimes
12 pennies
10 wheaties
plus a 1941 Merc dime & 1944 quarter, silvers # 6 & 7 for the year

Snow is melting fast here.
