Nice silvers, but that home-made shovel is most impressive. Nice work and a great idea, I oughta make me one too.

Thanks!

It took me about an hour from start to finish, but I have access to a lot of resources where I work, so that's definitely an advantage

Well done. Like the music. Still looking for that first silver. Nearly 500 Clad found and nothing yet.

Ouch, that's a whole lot of clad to not find any silver. Ever knock on doors? That's really your absolute best bet. If I knock on 4-5 doors in an old neighborhood and don't have at least 1 silver, I'm honestly pretty surprised. Parks are great for clad, but there's an awful lot of competition from other detectorists where were detecting before I was born.
