I got up at 630am on Sunday...

There are 2 new restaurants being built on the main street in town. They tore up the pavement and started building this place. I got up at 630 on Sunday (wanted to avoid a lot of onlookers as myself, my husband and my younger brother are out detecting this area)

We searched for about 45 minutes and only found a nail! that's it! It was only like 35 degrees out, all that for a nail. I'm thinking I was too late. My idea was good, but that restaurant has been being built since January... maybe another detectorist had the same idea as me and went out on one of our warm spells because I thought for sure I'd get something other than a nail. At least a penny!

Oh well, maybe next time. It was the first time Iwas able to get my detectors out this year! Changed out the batteries and Now I'm good to go for a spring & summer full of hunting. .... This is going to be the year I find silver, I know it! (Well, hopefully)

My younger brother (age 7) enjoyed it but was about half asleep when I took him home that evening.... I told him he could take a nap but when it was a choice between take a nap or go disc golfing - he chose to play with the frisbees! Oh well Bet he went to bed early yesterday.

Good Idea but I bet someone else beat you to it....as soon as they start digging...you need to get there....and early on Sundays is a great time to check places out downtown.....Good luck on the next one!

You gave it a good shot, but I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities, HH Art...

Thanks for your comments. I hope there will be another opportunity to get out along this road this summer.
Currently I'm using an Ace 300 but I want to get the Ace 250 as well, so maybe with a new detector I'll have more luck this summer too!

Well look at the good side, no one will step on that nail or get a flat from it...
