Howdy Folks!
Some of the hunting conditions were awful today, which of course, is no
reason not to hunt. I hunted one site and found a nice silver cross. Then
I went on to meet a gemologist who would purchase some gold from me.
Leaving there with a check for $300 bucks, I headed back toward my car
when I was greeted by a squad of holiday carolers. Dressed in period
costume, they regaled me with songs of the season. Seemed a bit early,
considering we ain't had Thanksgiving yet! But they were nice and I snapped
a couple of shots of them while chiding myself for not getting myself back
to the hunt.

Instead of going back to my car, I dropped in at the Whole Foods Market.
My intention was to find a nice sweet and spicy habiniero sauce, but they
didn't have what I was looking for. Still, I managed to spend $25 bucks in
there.

Then of course, since I bought some meats, I had to take them home before
going back on the hunt. When I finally did, I headed toward a local suburb
where I haven't hunted in awhile. Almost immediately, 2nd or 3rd target, I
got a gold earring. It is rather flattened out, but is 10k gold anyhow. Some
distance away, I found a silverish looking ring without a stone in the center.
Evidently it got lost. I also found a knife, which is alarming at an elementary
school tot lot!!!! Then again, so was the bullet I found in the wood chips!

After clearing that site, I hit one last one on my way home. It was dark by
then, so I really didn't spend much time there. Besides, the hunting conditions
at that location were awful. Still, nice and all, I did score another ring stamped
925 on the inside.

Found one coin from Spain, and another that I cannot tell where it is from.

My take today was:
13 Quarters = $3.25
11 Nickels = $0.55
15 Dimes = $1.50
47 Pennies = $0.47
1 Sac Dollar = $1.00
Total = $6.77
Coin Count = 87 coins.

I didn't spend nearly as much time hunting as I wanted but still did okay, I guess.

Thanks for Looking,
Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Way to go
I hit 2 schools today for about 3 hours, within 1 min I hit a quarter clad these are old schools but they had put new sod down in the last few years so nothing I found was old, they other school I hit I made a stream line acrossed the field, didnt do to bad but nothing like you did, I'm going to go back tomorrow and hit the rest of the field, and then to another place to see if I can get some silver, I'm getting closer everyday and I really do love this MXT so far, I'm learning as I go but with some support form u its been helpful thanks again

Howdy Pardner!
Maybe one day I can visit Rock Springs. It ain't that far from Aurora Colorado.
Besides, I have plans to visit some friends in Evanston before much longer.
Bet you find plenty of good stuff in Rock Springs, eh?

Blessings,
