Hey guys! I broke my clad record this morning for the 3 hour hunt! I first checked out a baseball field at Mercer Island and it kept up giving quarters and dimes! I was getting all the good signals. Got some pennies too! 
My clad total was $2.43. Now I thought after hunting for 2 hours then I would try my grandma's back yard that was close to the baseball field in Mercer Island. Mercer Island is a very old place from the fifties so I knew my grandma would have one good coin in her backyard. Man I was right! As soon as I got back there I got a signal that seemed 2 inches to 3 inches down and out pops a 1958 wheat cent! I could actually read the date! It was the best wheat cent that I had gotten so far!! For the rest of the hour I found nothing but trash.
We have all seen pictures of clad and wheat pennies. Thought I would share my story with all of you! 
Hope you all got out and metal detected this morning on this lovely sunny day! Even though it turned foggy by the afternoon.
