Hello everyone! 
I've been lazy posting my finds the past month or so, but I've found some nice silver, but no gold so far this year...
Well, anyway, on Monday my buddy received his brand new Minelab Safari, and of course we had to get out to see what the machine can do. We headed to a large lake beach park a couple miles away. My buddy begun his learning process with the Safari, and I explained to him for a while how to get started with it.
I left the two (my friend and Safari), and walked closer to the beach with my E-Trac. I found out there was a smaller swimming hole behind the bushes that looked like it's not very much in use these days. When I got there, the first signal was a jumpy silver signal, and to my surprise, out popped a silver class ring dated back to 1990!
I also noticed the crazy amount of mosquito's all over the place. ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
I worked the area for a while, and got a reading 12-43 which usually turns out to be a crappy old Finnish 5 penny coin, and skipped it. Then I thought it sounded a little bit different than a 5 penny, so I decided to dig it anyway. I'm glad I dug it, because it was my first foreign pocket spill! I unearthed 5 dimes and one German 50 Pfennig coin in the hole! All of them my firsts! Not valuable coins, but treasure for me!
Like the detecting guru's tell you: Don't rely on the numbers too much, and try to listen more closely instead!
After that we HAD to get away from there, because the damn flying blood suckers tried to suck us dry!
My friend didn't find much, but as soon as he learns the tricks with the Safari, there will be great finds waiting for him for sure!
Only €2.20 ($2.26) this time.
