I have been finding it very hard lately to find a place to go metal detecting in the evening that is not to far away from my home.
The parks at this time of year are to full of people what with kids soccer practice etc. going on.
All of this made me try some detecting in a out of the way part of a local park and it paid of handsomely.
Here is what I found at the base of a very large pine tree that the branches went all the way to the ground.
I stuck my detector at arms length under the lowest branches towards the trunk of the tree and stared to get multiple hits that sounded like coins, next I crawled under the branches with my explorer, took the Sunray pinpointer of of it, pinpointed a coin,dug a little and for the next hour until it was to dark to see kept finding multiple coins at 1 to 3 inches just using the sound of the pinpointer through the headphones as it was to hard to utilize the detector crouched down with knees bent for over an hour.
My back hurt for a while afterwards.
My finds
1901 o Barber dime
1944 Mercury dime
1909 Indian head cent
1929 wheat cent
1957 D wheat cent
1996 Jamaican dollar
1971 English 2 penny
1989 English 1 penny
10 quarters
56 dimes
43 nickels
190 1 cent pieces
Total just over $12
