Metal Detecting
It's been a while since I posted last. Anyway, I've hunted a few times since then, but there wasn't anything good enough to post. So, I went back to the park where I'm digging every signal. In that area (still can't get past the first pass) I found a couple coins, then this guy rides up on a bike and says to look in this area that is ignored by other detectorists. I headed towards that area. There was a guy there, so I didn't want to disturb him, but on the way back from there, I got a really high signal. I thought it was a pipe because there was some material that was solid and almost didn't dig it. I'm glad I did. This disc flipped out, and I saw that it was a dollar coin (2009-P). I was like, "YES!" to my grandma (she takes me). It was a great day, in the end.

Thanks! It was on a little hill, someone must've dropped it while they were walking up. No problem for the post, happy to show you.
 

Great job on that coin! Keep on hunting; I bet there are more around there.

I haven't found one yet...

Thanks! It's ok that you haven't found one...I still need silver.
 

Nice job on the coin recovery!
 

Don't let the "there wasn't anything good enough to post." stop you from posting. I sure don't! :)

Oh and about the pics turning upside down? That has to do with the position the camera is in when
you take the pic AND when it converts a large pic to a smaller one. If the camera isn't in the correct
position through both actions, it will flip. Just FYI. ;)

Good hunt!
 

Congratulations on your first Dollar Coin.
When you get your first "Silver Dollar" coin, you're going to fall over. I know that I will if I ever find one. lol
