I wish everyday was like today! I dug out 7 silver coins out of a San Francisco park! I only dug 2 wheaties today! Hunting partner ray managed two wheaties, a religious medal, and a few other keepers. Temperature in S.F. was a comfortable 56 degrees today! It was sweat shirt weather! Who said the parks are all hunted out!?

cool pics..what is the brass thing?

It's some kind of piece to a lawn sprinkler system. It has a hinged brass door that covered the systems controls. It's the second one I've found in this park.

I've been using the same machine (CZ6) for about 18 years. I bought 2 more as back ups when my old faithful unit finally breaks down. Analog versus digital? Old analog just runs more stable, I believe....

It's a part of an old grass sprinkler system. Probably left behind when the newer plastic sprinkler heads and pvc pipe was installed probably 20 years or more ago..
