- Metal Detecting
Ok, this is gonna be a long one. So, at Christmas 2015, I got my first metal detector, the Pioneer EX (apparently it has different names also). Later in the year, I got a Bounty Hunter Pinpointer. Now, the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is shipping to my location, and I am only about 100 bucks away from a Garrett AT Pro. Anyhow, I had a good year. I didn't find anything too important, or even a silver coin. But I liked it. I just hope 2017 is the year I get a silver. Ok, for coins, I keep every coin, and put them in packets. Some coins don't have packets in the pics because it is just a few coins. For most coins, I found clad, so I'll show you those first.
Zincolns (so annoying, but at least they're coins). By FAR my most common coin.
Copper pennies (much better).
My nickels, modern and older.
My favourite nickel, one of the 2005 commemoratives.
The dimes (I found enough).
Quarters (three separate types, no 2009s)
Sadly, no halves or dollars last year. Hopefully this year!
My only foreign. A pretty darn good first foreign!
All my tokens. Most are from this place called Fun Works in my area (Say if you are from around the Stockton/Sacramento area). I also got a Chuck E. Cheese's and a John's Incredible Pizza.
My three oldest coins. A 1948D, 1953(D?), and a 1957D which was likely a recent drop (my favourite) wheats.
Time for my other finds (excluding some things which I might show later like a railroad spike and empty can of Faberge Brut 33 shaving cream).
All my keys (my favourite is the gas cap key).
Bullet casing and bullet time (most found at a Stockton Deep Water Channel beach/island, and all modern).
.22 casings. Most are Remington, but there is an unknown, what I think is a Winchester, and a generic LR casing.
A couple .40 casings: a Winchester Smith & Wesson and a Remington S & W.
My favourite two casings: a .45 Winchester Auto and a .44 Winchester Reminton Magnum.
My two bullets, a .45 bullet (I think going to the casing I have, because it was in the same general area) and an unknown. What is the left one's size? Please let me know.
So, I had a good year. I am ready to find some silver and get some firsts! I think 2017 will be great. HH and God bless.
