Well, my wife and I are getting better at this new hobby of ours so it looks like I'll be in the market for another metal detector soon.
It would appear my Prizm IV has been hijacked.
But there is an upside to all this. That means I'll be able to find an even better one now to buy. I'm gonna get me one that is so far advanced that it digs it's own treasure. 
The park we went today there was quite a bit of trash on the grounds so I took a bag along and picked up garbage as we went. As it turned out it was probably a pretty good thing that we did. As we were getting ready to leave some fellow that worked for the city walked over to our car and was making conversation, I think he was going to tell us they didn't allow metal detecting there I don't know for sure. Then he started talking about the playground and how people leave trash all around. So, I showed him what I had in the bag and he said "God bless you son" He was real happy to see us then as if we were some old friends of his. He said I wish everybody that used the park would pick up trash like that.
Looks like we are welcome there now which worked out very well because we didn't even hunt a tenth of the place.
We covered up our holes to where you couldn't see them either which I believed helped also. We took along small digging tools because I told my wife if they were to see us with a shovel they probably would have run us out first thing. They don't think about you being able to do much digging with little hand tools. Little did they know I had a pretty good little tool that's like a miniature shovel with a small handle like you us in a flower bed in my bag. I had some pretty deep hole in some places to.
Anyway here's what we found this afternoon. 10 pennies, 1 dime, 2 nickels, 1 quarter, one old button, and a piece of jewelry of some sort. I can't tell what it's made out of until I clean it some more. There was not any real old coins. The oldest one we found was a 1968 penny. Oh well at least we are learning and it's fun so what else can you ask for.
