Man my wish came true, but not this way I was hoping on some LC this yr but this, come on. It all started with a long day with the kids and the wife doing this and that. Well after she left I took the boys down at a area that Ive forgoten was part of the park but is now is a open grass land and some huge trees and Hwy 30 runs through it. Back in the day this area was a rest area, city park, and gatherings. So I fired up the Ace 250 and headed out to the first tree I seen. Well after the 2nd swing got a hit on the screen saying 8+ half/dollar signal. Well after digging to China for it, I found a crushed old oil can so I pull it out and threw it next to the tree. As I did a coin fell out thats when I rechecked the hole and found more and the can a good looking over. Wish I had the can to take a pic with but my oldest boy threw it in the creek well at least I got the coins out. Later all and HH

Zeus, we all say that,but end up flipping out when we dig that worthless can....
 

sweet find, too bad your son threw the can in the creek!
 

If I had coins fall out of every can I've dug, I'd pack up and move.
 

This is what makes MDing fun!
