Home Metal Detecting

My findings on a nearby trail

Hi
I just wanted to share my finds with all of you folks.

Last Sunday I decided to pull out my treasure hunter from the closet and check the trails at a nearby reservoir

This is what I found

Two pennies from 1986D and 2003D, a dime from 1987P, four shells, a flattened penny, a piece of copper and a bunch of cans that I didn't bother to picture

This is where I found the dime

    Hey, nice pictures!

    They would've been good material for our new monthly photo contest, but they're just a little too big. If you resize them down to 800 pixels or less per side in the next couple days, I can add 'em to the poll.

  • stevens creek, i think only goes back to the 1940's. i know of people getting buffalo nickels and silvers from anderson. there is a place near stevens creek that you could try. it was called blackberry farms or something similar. loads of silvers and wheat cents have been dug there.
