For those of you who didn't read Mastereagles write up on this hunt, here is a link to his:

Carrying on...we did, in fact, travel to our new hunting ground and the sleet started coming down, although lightly. We had gained momentum all day for this hunt and a little sleet wasn't going to stop us.
We arrived and after dressing in our layers and gearing up, we set out hunting. We were in a new part of the yard tonight and it is closer to the main street. We immediately started finding lots of trash. We continued hunting when Mastereagle comes up and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. He holds his hand out and has just found a nice Silver Quarter! In my most serious face, I say, "Where did you get that?" He is immediately defensive and says he just dug it over there. I ignore him and go back to detecting. BoooYahh! Mastereagle 1....Baldingboy 0. (Fourth and Goal)
The sleet picked up shortly after and Mastereagle starts making the first noises about wanting to leave. I pretend I can't hear him with my headphones on and continued detecting in workmanship fashion. Before long, I look up and he is on the front porch of this Huge House and is squawking like a Blue Jay about his ears being cold. Every once in awhile he asks me if I am getting cold. I simply say "no". He is totally unaffected and soon the blubbering disapates and I wonder where he went.
About a half hour later, the sleet is falling like mad and my detecter coil and digger are actually getting slick in my hand and I am wondering what the heck I am doing. Just then, I get a slammin signal at about 6" that I know I have to dig. By this time Mastereagle has once again joined me detecting and now has a big fluffy hat that has quieted his tears.....momentarily at least. Back to digging, I work on this hole for about 5 minutes. The signal is between a bunch of tree roots. Finally I manage to pull up this super cool token that has 25 written on both sides. It may even be an old piece of "play" money as Mastereagle suggested. I think his wife gives him play money to teach him responsibility, so he may be correct.
Even though it was, as Mastereagle said, "miserably cold"..... my buddy and I had a great time as usual. I can guarentee you that two people don't have any more fun than me and Mastereagle when we detect. I give him trouble, but he takes it all in stride. I think he may be hoping he has a place to live when his wife boots him out.
By the way, did you know if you rub two college girls together you can make a fire
Here is the grand total of all my finds:
I thought this might be half of a silver coin for a minute.
The Big Haul:
My Cool Token or Childs Play Money (Side A)
Side B of same coin/token:

I could see it coming so when it happened I was all the way across the lawn. Then they waved at me said goodbye and left in their cars. That is the main reason BB kept hunting in the sleet was so that the sleet would wash the mace out of his clothes and eyes.
