First hunt of the year

[thadious]

I did my first hunt of the year on Jan 5 2011 at Cottonwood Park Chula Vista Ca. I found 1 dime and 1 penny at the tot lot. They have rubbrized padding at the swings so that cuts down finds there. I also found 7 penny's 3 dimes and 6 qtrs hunting near the benches. Only 3 pull tabs. I was using the ace 250 in Jewelry mode but kept finding small buttons and tiny pieces of foil. I switched too coins but got lazy after about a half hour and switched too my custom mode which notches out everything below dime level. Weather was great and it was good to be out. Hope you guys find tons of gold and jewelry this year. HH ted
