New Year, Best Metal Detecting Finds

Published by Tommy J. on 02/12/18

I started detecting over 35 years ago with a White’s Coin master. I detected a few years off & on but eventually quit due to time restraints from my job. Fast forward to 2015 & I am retired with more time. My wife bought me a White’s MXT All Pro for my Christmas present and I’ve been at it for nearly 3 years. This January has to be the BEST month of incredible finds I’ve ever had! First silver dollar, first half dollars & about 40 silver coins from one location. The site that I have hunted for 10 days or so, weather permitting, is about 2 miles from my house, an area where a riding arena built back in fifties once stood. Through February 2nd, I have found 1- 1885 Morgan dollar, 2- walking liberty half dollars, 1- 1876 seated liberty dime, 10- mercury dimes, 23- Roosevelt dimes, 1- buffalo nickel, 5- Jefferson silver nickels, and probably 50+ wheat pennies. I do the majority of my detecting within 5 miles of home, usually from January till July or so, when it usually gets too hot & dry to detect. I usually detect 2 to 3 hours a day, mostly in the afternoons or as much as my wife will let me! Currently using Whites MXT All Pro with a SEF 6x8 coil and a Whites pinpointer. Love to hunt around old houses or home places. I look forward to finding civil war relics in the near future as well as other best metal detecting finds. Pictures are of total finds in January minus the pennies, today’s finds, and 1 of walking liberty half dollars found today also. Thank you Kellyco for detector and accessories!
