Daughter and I working on a tip. Sledding hill used from the late 70's to late 90's. Became private property and is no longer used. Wasn't expecting any silver, but figured there would be clad for the easy pickings, and good practice for my daughter who got her ACE 350 for B-day. Still cant understand how or why there is so much clad even for an obviously virgin area, hard to believe, but we were literally stepping on clad. Very little trash. Some surface finds and popped 75% of it out with screw drivers. Had to keep reminding the little one this was not a typical day. Lol. It was a blast of a time. We worked it for 7 hours on Sat and another 5 hours today with more to find. We were exhausted! I even went back for an hour today on way into work and pulled a gold 10k ring and .925 charm with diamonds I believe. Will test tomorrow when I get home. Here is the haul.

Sat-Sun clad count.

79 pennies.

11 nickels.

52 dimes.

27 quarters.

Daughters first ring. Toe ring .925



Today.

9 quarters

1 dime

2 pennies

10k gold ring

.925 charm with unknown stones

Solid copper Letter P with lightning bolt. Have no idea what it is.



Can't wait to go back.

Congrats to both of you on you your fun time. That is A LOT of goodies. I have two boys, so I totally know what the best part was!!! Awesome job!
 

Thanks. Clarissa watched me all winter doing research and got hooked on YouTube vids. She can name youtubers by name and loves nuggetnoggin. Lol. I prefer older sites and relics. But she caught the bug after I "planted" coins in the yard. Gets upset when she finds out I go out without her. Lol. This is usually when she is at school and I have to remind her it wouldn't go over well if missed school to go detecting.
 

Wow! Thats a lot of digging! Glad you had a chance to build some awesome memories with your daughter!
 

Awesome area find! Love finding virgin places like that!
HH!
