I managed to get over to a school/tot lot about a block from my house today.
the original school was torn down and a new one built 12 years ago so there is alot of trash from demo!!!!

I decided to cover around the trees today an managed to pull 1 1958 wheat, 12 clad pennies 1 clad nickle and this small salmon pendant!! it is so small that it took about five minutes to locate it!!!


After awhile I hit a very strong Reading and thought that I had another pull tab after digging down 5 inches i saw what looked like a rock so i pulled it out, it got tossed aside then i picked up the detector a rescanned to hole !!!!!! Nothing???? I Jumped up and started detecting in the direction i tossed the rock, if found it in the grass about three feet away. IT is screaming in the gold range on my detector I'm Not sure what it is????? Way to big for a tooth filling!!!




Well the Verdict is I have 15.2 grams OF BRASS Still haven't found gold this year Yet!!!!

Re: Spring Is here !!!! This Little sockeye?????? salmon almost got away!!!!!!!!

Now what are the odds of that happening? I mean a guy goes out with his metal detector to do some coin fishing, and ends up digging up a FISH! Man! YOU take it to a whole other level! Cool finds my friend.

~HAPPY FISHING...er.. I mean ~HAPPY HUNTING~
