I was hunting in a tot lot last night and had an awesome time. I have had my detector for about 3 or 4 months and have found 30 dollars in clad. I go out about twice a week for a few hours. Until last night, I had only located the run of the mill modern clad, one 1898 Indian, and two or three foreign coins. Not too bad, but always wanted to find a half or silver dollar.

Well, last night while in this target rich environment, I pulled out a 1971 Kennedy half at 6 inches in the wood chips. The thing that helped me last night was that the wood chips were sitting on top of a weed barrier. Basically remove the chips and you see this barrier plastic. Easy digging. I only spent 45 minutes and breezed over the lot. I came home with about five dollars including the half dollar. Guess where I am going tomorrow morning?

I have included some pics of last nights finds as well as the foreign coins and IH penny I found. Hope you enjoy them.

OK...I guess the first step in is to admit that I have a problem. I have even been detecting behind my wife's back. Please don't tell her. What happens on the forum stays on the forum. LOL
