First time out this year

[wwace]

Left home at 6am to go hunt a couple of school playgrounds that are still pea gravel. Temp was 27 when I left home but it warmed up after 9am or so. $2.04 in clad, 2 junk rings, 1 junk bracelet (Robert). I did make a couple of future detectorists though, two girls about ten yrs old "helped" me recover targets for the last hour of the hunt. I am sorta glad that the butterfly ring was junk as my new hunting partner snagged it faster than I could say "ring" They must train girls pretty young now days, at least she was happy and they both went home with pockets full of treasure.

Sunday nut, new pirate & junk loots:

It's funny I have no idea who the girls were but they had a great time. Their grandmother called them on a 2 way radio 2 or 3 times and asked what they were doing but she just laughed when the girls told her. I can only imagine how some people would freak out that their kids are out at the playground with some freak or whatever. The first time the girl said they were hanging out with a "gold panner" lol. The schools here always have kids around and I don't mind as long as I am just digging trash. They were very well mannered whenever I hit a coin they would just put it in my pouch whereas others I've been around would loot every coin for themselves.

Now i know I'm not the only one who gives away the junk jewelry to the kids when i find it!!! usually i give it to the parents so there are no problems. or to the kids if they parents are paying attention!!
