Metal Detecting - My freinds finds!

Hi all,
So 2 of my freinds from our Detecting Club went detecting without me to a new location in the Bronx NY.. They did pretty good!
US Coins.. Silver, Buffalo and Wheats -

They love to tease me.. As I tease them as well .. I can't wait to try out the new spot!
Location to be kept a secret as per our Detecting Club rules!

 

Digging up silver in the weekend... That's a cool weekend activity!

 

I've never found anything like that metal detecting.

 

That's a nice haul, congrats to them, great scores.

 

Nice haul your Benedict Arnold buddies raked in. Going swinging without you, tsk tsk tsk.

So which of those detectors is the preferred machine? I'm days away from pulling the trigger on either the Garrett AT Pro or the Minelab Equinox 800. It'll be my first detector.

 

If Meow lived in NY, Meow would beg to be allowed to go. Meow could assist in the digging.

 

Meow if feeling a bit bad about the wire brushed finds...………………...
Its going a little too far...………………….

 

Wow good job guys!

 

I can see where the term came from, but doesn't that get you some funny looks outside the group?

 

How do you guys choose what area everyone gets to search ( I guess divide the land is a better way to say that)?
It does seem more fun to detect with a group than alone. Some people to talk to and share finds with.

 

Any day finding silver is a great one!

Could you please tell your friend to not scrub his coins with a wire brush?

 

I still didn't get my metal detecting permit yet!

 

awesome finds for sure.

 

I started to bring that up. Pretty harsh cleaning.

 

He sent me the picture and I scolded him for the harsh cleaning!

I spoke to him. He's really not a coin collector.. Just a treasure hunter.

 

To be honest, I have done the same thing. I'm even guilty of hooking them up to a small transformer and burning off the junk on the coin. Burned a few up doing this. Once you know it's just silver value, it's a fun coin to play with.

 

Meow is a funny Kitty. He or she seems to love adventure!!

 

Very nice finds great job

 

I know that permissions and permits have been discussed in the past and I seem to remember that you said you needed a permit to metal detect in public parks, is that correct?
I have no such restrictions in the wilds of Montana, at least outside of city limits. LOL
