Good Start to '08 and a recap of '07

With the warmer weather (40's) kind of sticking around I decided to stop at a park on my way home from work. Good thing I did as I ran across the tot-lot from heaven! I only detected for a little over an hour and pulled $8.76 in clad. I was getting such good silver clad coin signals that I stopped digging the penny signals to save hunt time and maximize clad totals. My highlight (next to the obligatory zipper pull) was a nice 925 silver men's ring! ;D The chip god's were smiling on me today!



My highlights for '07 include 2 merc's, a SLQ, numerous wheats and older Canuck pennies, 1/2 of a large cent, and Indian head cent. As for the bling... I managed 3 goldies... 2 rings and a cross with the chain, 4 silver rings and a silver spoon. One cool button which I have yet to identify. My clad count for the year was $206.64. Even though these finds are paltry compared to most of you, I'm pretty proud of my accomplishments as I switched up in October from my el-cheapo Radio Shack detector to a Minelab X-70. Once I did and started my learning curve, stuff started "popping" out of the ground.



Special thanks to B-doo for allowing me to detect with him. He is truly an inspiration and a very good detectorist. Look forward to the rest of the year

Excellent job on hunting that tot lot, you pulled alot of clad and goodies from there. Sounds like you need to schedule a return trip to that location. Awesome haul for 2007, thanks for sharing. Continued success and HH.
