Howdy Folks!
I wasn't sure I could talk about this hunt, being all bound up with the law as it is, but
since it is on television, I guess I can refer to it without giving up much information.

About a month ago, a man was murdered in cold blood on his way home from the
light rail station. His body was discovered on the lawn of a residential home in a
real nice neighborhood. He was like 22 years of age. The investiation is ongoing.
At our last club meeting, they asked for volunteers to hunt for evidence at the crime
scene. About 8 of us made it out yesterday, and we hunted a really large chunk of
territory for any evidence that might be found. While all the other guys stayed together
to hunt the main suspected route, I went with one deputy by myself to hunt another
location. I dug up everything and when the deputy asked why, I explained that I'd
rather dig up 1,000 pieces of trash than miss the one piece of evidence they might
need. There were areas that had snow cover up to 4 inches deep, hard packed and
iced over. My rock hammer busted through those, but it was tough hunting.
After covering my stretch of territory, I rejoined the other guys who were busily
detecting every front yard on another street where the body was found. I just never
hunted such quiet ground before. Signals were extremely few, some being from
sprinkler heads in the ground. One of the neighbors shuttled in and out of his house
with coffee for the detectorists, and every neighbor was really gracious and helpful.
The deputies bought us lunch and we split up after several hours, and I went on to
hunt some tot lots in the local area. My finds were few but I did manage to get some
goodies. Not on a normal par for one of my hunts, but hey, I was somewhat distracted.
I got a silverish bracelet, a couple of cheapie rings, and a Canadian penny dated 1977.
There was a smattering of kid type jewelry that ain't worth anything.
My take was:
1 Quarter = $0.25
9 Nickels = $0.45
9 Dimes = $0.90
33 Pennies = $0.33
Total = $1.93
Coin Count = 52
Blessings,
