2 Cent Piece, Indian, Ipod, and other goodies

Jack(IN) · Feb 10, 2009

Finally had a chance to get out, great weather, ground thawed, and an desire to dig. Only had a couple hours and headed to the Park 1/2 mile from me. Got out of the car, walking to the slope where the sledders had been, on the ground were two bills, a $1 and a $10. I thought it was going to be a good day. I took my time slowly swinging the Explorer finding a quarter, a dime, a couple pennies before I hit a deeper signal(deeper than surface clad). I dug my first wheatie(1909), then another 1940. I slowed down and hit a low tone which turned out to be a 1943 War Nickel. I just continued to hunt slow and popped out the 1883 Indian, and the alarm went off as I got my last signal and what a pleasant surprise pulling out the 1868 2 Cent piece. What a way to end the day I was thinking looking along the ground as I walked back to the car. That's where I found the iPod(which works). Shame every day isn't like this!! To be honest, if I hadn't found anything I'd have been happy just to get out and play in the dirt!! The goodies just make it sweeter!!

done dug it all up said:
Nice IPOD! Did it have any good tunes on it?

Not a single song I liked, maybe if I were 18 I might have liked them, but just not into hip-hop!

Looks good Jack! Can't say you don't believe in variety.
I just bought some Ratphones. Nice and comfortable, but won't get to use them much for a while because I'll be voluteering with AARP doing taxes until April, besides working. I also need to get a new battery for the XLT. It gave out after five years and won't hold a charge for three days now even if not used.
Good hunting.

Steve, you might want to talk to Tim, I think he has something like three rechargeable batteries and might part with one cheaper than you might buy one! Hopefully you can get out and do some digging soon!!
