I went back to the local lake/park I have been hunting and decided to hunt under a big group of trees because it was raining and my machine isn't waterproof. The trees did a pretty good job of keeping me dry, but boy was this area TRASHY. Bottle cap after bottle cap after pulltab after entire beer can....and mixed in there was a few clad coins. I hit on a huge signal and was about to walk over it thinking It was a beer can again, but I dug it anyway and out popped The Batmobile! I was pretty stoked about that and started swinging the coil and about 2 feet away another massive signal, pure crisp high tone but it was big...I learned my lesson with the batmobile so I dug this one right away, it was in the top of the plug maybe 1/2" or an inch down...I began jumping and acting like a fool because...well look!!!
At first I thought it was big silver, but it is a 1971 D Ike Dollar! The king of all clad!! It must have been a pretty recent drop too because this thing is mighty shiny. I only poured a little water on it to get the dirt off. After my heart rate came back down to normal I moved to where there are a bunch of big rocks that are normally under water and I picked up a ton of copper and zinc pennies and a few dimes and quarters. I found a lot of lead fishing sinkers and even a fly that some poor fisherman lost. ..then out in the middle I get another screaming signal..this time it's small and shallow, and out pops this little toe ring marked .925 on the inside! Another ring and another silver woohoo!!!! Here is all my finds, including the trash, and the ring!
Thanks for looking, and happy hunting!

How did nobody see this thing sitting on the ground? It was only a few feet from a foot path. ..and a coin this big sure would attract my eye! It's another one I can check off of my bucket list though, so that's cool!
