Finds and ruminations from a numismatic excavator. The Dirt Is Good To Me. For me, it had been a while since I found my last silver coin. The 1943 War Nickel was laying all naked and pretty at the foot of a very old tree, obviously washed out by the rain. So all my hopes and dreams were dashed against the cruel rocks of chance. Thank you for stopping by.

I remember thinking a little while back that my silver rosie count was down. This one rang up differently enough it made me curious. It goes to show you never really know what you might be passing up! July 4, 2015. First Seated Dime of the year.

Getting dirty on the Emerald Coast. The Minelab E-Trac, my big step up. Soon as I figure out how, I will.

Looking for treasure, finding friends and good times. We had a beautiful sunny day for our December meeting at the Sedgwick County park. Attendance was great and a good time was had by all. One of the very good finds was under a penny signal. We are ruminating on ideas for the next year.

Metal Detecting Finds and Stories. A Couple of Silver Dimes with my Minelab CTX 3030. Over the holidays I got out and did some metal detecting a few times.
