I just had one of the most fun, pleasant, interesting hunts of my "career". LOL
I went to a local school yard that I KNOW has been hit. So, I just concentrated on digging hits that others would discriminate past. (No, I didn't turn down the blatant "quarter" hits. )
If you notice, there are a lot more nickels than are usually posted. (Hearing nickels means hearing rings too. Along with a TON of can slaw!!! But, that was my intent today.
I hit a wide variety of fields. Open, ballfield, tennis area, tot lot, resodded, old areas with large trees, etc. Wanted to see how they all played out. I didn't grid anything, just let my feet go where the Lord led. (Try it sometime, I've found that to be the best technique. )
Follow along and I'll comment as I go.
First, almost all the finds:
Notice the circled item? Notice how it has this little spot of yellow in the middle? This is because it is blinking! Came from the tot-lot so I figured it's one of those lights from kid's shoes. You would've enjoyed my expression when I dug this up and while I was turning it over in my hand to figure out what it was and it started blinking in my hand!! LOL
This was from the tot-lot too.
I got into this dig pretty intently because it appeared to be a coin that was larger than a quarter and about 7-8 inches deep.
I thought I had finally found another large cent but, no, not this time.
Still don't know what it is, , maybe a pill box? Seems fairly old and was pretty deep.
Did I say that...
I ..... this hobby?
Here are a few closer ups of some things.
Blinky
Just a blob?
Maybe a modern button?
This was one of the more interesting pocket spills I've ever had as all three coins were in the same hole!
I REALLY this hobby!!!
Ok so that was pretty much my day. I had been out for hours and was pretty tired. I made my usual promise to myself. ONE more decent find and I'm outta here.
I got one of those "trash can lid" hits that I spoke of back a while ago. Too tired to do the circling bit, I just decided to pop it out of the ground and move on. I stuck the blade just under and POP! This is what I saw.
Sorry about the bad picture but my hand wouldn't stop shaking. LOL
I checked the hole and surrounding area in case of any missing parts or other drops, then, I turned off my detector and left! LOL
Here's a couple closer views.
I've done some initial testing, approximately 10kt, 16 small stones, 10 grams!
I LOVE this hobby!!
HH!
