Just wanted to say hello to everybody and give you a quick backstory.
Years and years ago I became interested in metal detecting. Armed with a cheap detector, my first day hunting I found a 1945 rosie at the elementary I attended as a kid. Well, after that I seemed to find nothing but pull tabs and bits of foil so I lost interest. (Although I did help my friend's Mom recover a gold ring she lost in her yard that was laying on top of the grass).
So flash forward to earlier this year when a buddy hooked me up with a AT Pro and mentored me on how to use it. (Thank you Diggin-N-Dumps!). I'm still a noob a few months along but really enjoying the hobby and getting better at it each time out. It's very addictive.
I was with Diggin-N-Dumps when he found this by the way. Made for a great day.

Since May I have dug approx $84 in clad. Included in that lot is a Sacagawea coin, three president dollar coins and the rest in quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies etc. No silver since that initial dime years ago but have popped out about a dozen wheats.
Some interesting odds and ends that I have found:
"Vote for Milton Oakman for Sheriff" token. Google fu pulled up a 1911 date on it.
Ohio Marching Band pin:
Misc loot including a Deutsche Mark coin: (Not included is a ring that my wife wears now. Cheap jewelry but she liked it and it fit perfect).
And of course, the clad pile:
Thanks for looking and hope to get better at the hobby and find more historic places to hunt.
