These were Sat and Sun.'s finds at a school, sports field, and park, I wanted to revisit. :dontknow:
Majority of zincs are corroded, junk bracelet is rusty, and my sole wheat is crusty, it might be 1947, can't really read the date. :BangHead:
Twenty of the most trashed zincs were in a coin spill. :icon_scratch:
The item I find most interesting is the melted lump of metal top left, it is not magnet, so probably aluminum and the darker part seems to be a different metal, slightly heavy for aluminum. :icon_scratch:
I now know where "not" to hunt, next time. :tongue3: image.webp
And I got spritzed (light sprinkles) on the whole time. Weird day. Hope you guys did better.

When I read the title of this post I thought maybe you'd met up for a hunt with Tylerbdad, OldDude, and Cjon :laughing7:

Nice finds!
 

Looks like you stayed busy. That's a lot of targets. I still enjoy a good clad day as long as I can score 1 wheat it's not considered a skunk day. Too dry to do permissions in my area, sure wish it sprinkled all day in Ohio. Rain will come, the soil will become damp enough to dig nice plugs on the permissions I have awaiting me.

ROTF, LMAO! Thank you! Not sure they will tho.


Loco D-thanks! I probably would have done a little better if the soil was moist instead if dry here, but there's always next time.
 

Looks like you had quite alot of digging! :thumbsup:

couldn't have meant me, I didn't see the word "awesome" or "great" in the title lol!!

Nice finds MS!!
 

Hello Msbeepbeep,

You did very well with a nice assortment of items, any target that's not trash is a good one.

Regards,

Doc
 

That's the way I feel sometimes MSB-LOL. You are certainly staying in practice for relic season Bud! WTG, Q.
 

ENJ- Depends on how you define "toasted" :laughing7: :tongue3:

Thanks Under miner- I'm practicing my "digger" technics, :laughing7: I need to work a little harder on the "finds" end of it! :BangHead:

Cjon- thanks!... It may be a loooooooong wait! :dontknow: :laughing7:

Thank you Professor! I'm adding to the clad funds and I had a good time. I am somewhat puzzled :icon_scratch: by the melted blob of metal, I just may test it for silver. :laughing7:

Quindy Thank You! I am well aware of what's out there, it just wasn't where I looked this time. The rate at which some zincs are disintegrating is truly unbelievable, and sad. I promised my grandson a musket ball so I'm practicing hard! :icon_thumright:

Casper- Thanks! My doctor says the same thing! :laughing7:The family wasn't all that thrilled when my doctor endorsed my detecting habit. :headbang:
 

The finds may not have put you on "easy street", but I bet you had fun. Go on, tell the truth! :)

Lots o diggin' there!

Good job!

Yes sir, I sure did! I was detecting in a light spritzing rain, trying to save the corroding zincs while there was still time! Now if I tried to explain that to a non-MD'er they would think I had lost it...but I was actually finding it...peace of mind...priceless! Win-Win!

.DAG GONE MISSBEEP DIDNT YOU EVEN STOP TO SLEEP . THATS A LOT OF COINS . ARE YOUR HANDS SORE IF NOTE THEY SHOULD BE. LOOK AT A THE CLAD.
 

That sure is a lot of digging
 

WHADIFIND- the digging is just part of the distraction process on the path to peace. :headbang:

OD- Mother Earth may thank me but the bank...not so much! :laughing7:

Sutphin- the hands can take a beating, but the back orders sit down breaks every now and then. :notworthy:

46Wheat- somebody's got to do it! ....I volunteered! :tongue3:
