I got paid a penny an hour for detecting the woods

[Roger Mn.]

I got out to the park woods detecting for 5 hours and this is the only coin found.
1900 Liberty Nickel.

Very nice Nickel. That's the problem with wooded areas. They are hit or miss, and hard to hunt with fallen trees and brush. But if your doing this for an hourly wage, better to stick to the main park, schools and such. But if your doing it for the exercise, fresh air and the fun of it, then a penny an hour is worth it.

I think that means, the finder of the coin will have to give it to the government, and maybe get one penny in return.......
and, of course, free medical.

I detect for the exercise and the fun of finding the old coins. I do detect for modern coins a few times a year and it's not as much fun as finding the old coins. I started detecting years ago and only detected in the parks mowed grass and the finds were slim.
The last two years have been the best for me because the woods haven't be detected much.

I did the taxes and paid the accountant his $80. I smiled and told him that I heard that I could get them done a the Salvation Army for free now that I'm retired. A few day's later I got a check from him for $40. I wouldn't have changed accountants.
