I went out yesterday for about 5 hours to two different parks here in Berks County. I dug up a total of 71 pennies, and not one was a wheatie or ih, oh well, it was still fun. I also found a Chuck-E-Cheese token, but I gave that to a little girl. Her family was having a picnic and asked me if I wanted something to eat (that was really nice). I told their little girl that since the gave me something, I would give her something. (You should have seen her face, it was like I gave her a gold coin, lol) I also let her keep a few dimes that she helped me dig up at the park. All in all it was a really beautiful day. I will get a new camera soon so I can take pics of these events. I dug up a total of $3.21 in clad. I used a some of that to buy a drink on the way home. I also bought a 38 pack of Duracell AA batteries at Home Depot for less than 12 bucks! I also bought some professional gelled knee pads there too.

You are one Park Slayer.
Way to find them coins!
 
All those pennies will kill the knees! Start saving for replacement surgery.
 
Good haul!

You find cents like those locally. The town park spreads lime or phosphate fertilizer or some other nasty and it eats them up like chocolate chip cookies.
 
Wow, thats a load of clad!! Hey your using a Ace 250? Have you always used this machine and your silver finds came from this machine?

Keep @ it and HH!!

Sounds like a great day to me. Kids are a mixed blessing ::). Entertaining, but they slow you down. Good job in letting her help out. I think that is the admission price to schools and parks.

I could have used some gel pads today as well. Was in a gravel area with tablets at the school next door for 3 hours. Couldn't get away, even with a high disc setting. I had 69 coins, 40 were pennies, and I'm sure there are more pennies back there. Heart breaking part is I found a 1965 and 1966 dime. So close ::).
