Hey guys! Today was a great day with JuJu! I finally got done with most of my hw for this week, so I could go metal detecting! :) This put a big smile on my face since I havn't been in over 2 weeks. The first week I came down with a cold and the second week, I had so much homework, it was comming out of my ears!!! :o

I got to JuJu's house at 8:00am and we decided to hit a park, which we've had lots of success with! Fast forward an hour or so later. I got a signal that rang up like a big fat quarter and out popped an Airforce military challenge coin!!!! :) I was so happy! At the time I did not know what I had until JuJu told me that they only give them out to people in the military! :thumbsup:

I am definatly going to put the Airforce Military challenge coin in its own special coin case! :) After that Park, we headed into town to go to a local shop where JuJu said they had some Coca Cola Bottles for sale. I bought two of them that were both from Washington State. Once we were done with that we headed to the next field! :) This one did not produce much, but in the beginning of the hunt I got a pocket spill which included a 1974 half dollar, a quarter, and a regular penny! :) JuJu ended up with nothing good from that field.

We then hit two more fields and had no luck at either of them. The next field we hit was amazing! I got a 1947 wheatie from the field that looked like it had been through a fire! JuJu's find was really amazing! ;D I will let him tell his story of his find, so I don't spoil it for you guys! :)

Well, I had a great day with JuJu and I hope everyone got out to hunt on this beautifull saturday! :)

Here are the pictures! :)

Great finds bud!!! I have a few Challenge Coins from the bases that I was stationed at and a few from the companies that I was in. Too bad some Airman lost his, now he is gonna have to buy drinks if anybody challenges him... ;D
 

Great coin!
I didn't know any thing about a "Challenge Coins" till just now.
Last year I found something like it that may be just that, a challenge Coin.
Cool find and thanks for the post now I know what I have too.

That's awesome i wouldn't mind finding something Air Force, I just signed with the Air Force and i leave for Boot Camp April 28th
 

Love the challenge coin. The plane is a C17. The AF wings logo is the new style logo only used in the last decade or so. Nice find!
 

Very Nice DF! Ya'll must have good weather out there huh? Good to hear because it will be coming this way in a day or so. Lots of snow here reminds me of Michigan..... :'( Stick with that last field eh?
 

Congrats on the coin. Whoever lost it is going to owe alot of cool ones when he is challenged by friends. If a friend whips a coin out, and he can't show his, he has to buy. Anyway, have a great time in the AF. I was in 11 yrs active, now am a civilian fireman at Seymour Johnson AFB. Good luck and enjoy!
