Update - New Ace 250 stolen by wife hunting for Jumbo Jacks!

Well we went at it again today.
Started out at an old building not for from the house, and found a neat little coin with "10" on one side and flower kinda pattern on the other. It's smaller than a dime, and made of aluminum. Game coin/token maybe?

Then it was off the big park.

Working the wood mulch around the swings we started finding quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.

The wife was swinging the Ace and I of course was the digging "bit@!".

She hit her third quarter and demanded the keys to my truck stating she had enough for a .99 cent Jumbo Jack at Jack n the Box, and she was hungry.

I managed to convince her to stick it out until she had enough for a drink too, and maybe dig for me for a while.

We cleaned out the big park with enough for two Jumbo Jacks with cheese (extra .25 cents) and small drinks!!!!!!

After the not so healthy lunch, we headed to a smaller park nearer to our house, and proceeded to find another $1.39 in clad, a 9mm shell casing and a .45 semi-wad cutter slug, three fishing weights, and assorted trash.

With the day winding down fast, we take our "loot" and sunburns back to the house to wrap up a great day.

I still have to fix the divots in the yard from yesterday, which I was reminded of several times today!

But my new Garrett 1350 will be shipped Monday!!!!!!!!!!

Game token. I've found a few of those "10" aluminum tokens myself.
Your posts crack me up. ;D You two are a riot.
Congrats on your finds.

I'm 6'1" she's 4'11", if we go to the store people crack up at us!

Even after eighteen years we're always cutting up and making each other laugh!

Man I'm glad I bought "her" that machine?!

;D Ha, ha, ha.
Sounds like me and my wife. I'm two years older than her, but look a lot younger than her.
People mistake her as my mother sometimes. :o
Hopefully she doesn't read this post. I may get spanked by Mama. ;)

Where in NC are you?
We have an old house (80+ years old and NEVER HUNTED) on 7 acres outside Salisbury, maybe we could get together and hunt it some day?

Keep me posted.

great day when you can buy your date dinner with your finds!

Buy hell!
I had to "borrow" the money from her for my lunch. ;)
As she puts it, "it's my detector and all money found with it is mine"!

MDingers would ask - who wears the nail pouch in the family? ;D

You're lucky she took you to get burgers, she could have taken off by herself and had steak. ;D What a lucky man you are. I think it's time for y'all to get another detector.

I've already ordered a Garrett 1350, you ever hunt El Ranch Cima Scout camp near Austin?

Pulpfishin, I am in Burlington NC also. Love old houses. A number of them around here I am eyeing. If we ever get some rain, maybe I can gain permission to hunt some of them.
