After having a MD for a good number of years and never using it a lot a friend of mine just recently purchased one and I'm actually going some places with mine now. Our first hunt was last Tuesday night (7-18-06). We decided to run to a local lake and try out the "beach/party" area. We knew that this would not be the best place ... but we knew we'd find something and truthfully for our first hunt I don't think either of us really cared what it was 
(We did find a penny that's not in the picture)
We decided that Saturday we would go to a small town about 25 minutes from here where my mom's family lived. I spent a lot of time there as a kid and new most of the area pertty well. My wife also went with us and since she grew up in the town she could show us some more spots. We ended up at an old park were my wife told us there used to be many a birthday party held. We found a total of 99 cents !!
For a very short time we also hunted around the baseball field and concession stand with no luck. By this time it was getting HOT (about 107), late in the day and we still wanted to drive and scope out some more possible sites.
I decide to go this evening (7-24-06) and try my luck at a local picnic/playground here in town and see what happens. Ended up with 21 cents.
The ground is SO hard here right now. Here, like so many other places, has been without rain for such a long time the ground is like rock. My poor little spade just would not cut it. (I guess I'll have to get a small pick axe of some sort) The place I was actually able to dig was about 7-10 feet off a tree that had had a sprinkler left on for a while so the ground was softer. I had a great number of hits so I will go back after some rain.
Picked up a bunch of bottle tops off the top of the ground and decided to call it a night. All in all we've had alot of fun. I betting that my MD stays in the car now all the time. Now it's time for more research, thinking about places to go and buying that small pick axe
