Finds Today---some coins and a new detecting friend

[Dimeman]

One of the newer T-Net members, who had emailed me and asked for detecting help, wanted to go detecting, since we live in the same city. Met up with Missy, and we got to where I suggested to meet at the park, but since the city is still working on re-newing it, we decided to try another close park, than to dodge the city workers.

I hadn't seen the park for about 6 years...they had re-newed it also. Took out lots of old trees and removed alot of the 2-3 foot high rolling natural landscape, and flattened it.... and put in new smaller trees.( Ruined a good park... ) But they did have a good sized totlot playground area.
Since the woodchips are a great place for a new detectorist to learn, we hunted there.

I had 2 firsts today, one was detecting with a lady fellow detectorist, the second was finding a silver quarter in the woodchips. Most coins lost in the woodchips are clad. A child must have raided their parents coin jar and lost this one. I just happened to find it....(sorry Missy....I really wish you could have found it....)

Missy found some dimes and pennies..she is still learning her M6, and hasn't quite perfected digging in the grass areas yet. All it takes, is time and practice.

Spent an hour and a half detecting and gave up because of the dang heat/humidity. Went to take a break at a fast food place ( nice and cool inside there)and talked about detecting for awhile.

Here is what I found today.

Its great meeting new friends in this hobby. I am glad you had a good time and I promise Missy your finds will increase each time you hunt.

It was great to see that you got out with another member. I have an M6 and it is was slow at first for me as well. I did the tot lots, some fields, and beaches. All of a sudden I started to get the hang of the machine and just let it do what it is supposed to do. Currently in about a month and a half I have found roughly $50.00 in clad, a couple of rings(not real), a mens 14k necklace and other small things. Stick with it and the more you get out Missy the better. I can tell you if it says .25 it is 99.9% of the time a quarter.

Dimeman, that's what this hobby is all about, helping when we can and doing good deeds. And on top of that we get to reap the rewards! Glad you and Missy were able to hook up and hunt togeather, its always safer with two or three hunting togeather anyway.
HH and keep it swinging!

Way to go you two! The heat and humidity is killer here too. Way to go Dimeman on finding such a great partner! Missy, if you ever get to Austin, look me up and we'll do some hunting around here...... I guess that goes for you too Dimeman. You just don't look as good.
