I don't care what brand it is as long as it finds Barbie dolls, beer and Jordans, as in the shoe! Yes, I thought about these things while playing in the mud this morning.
One original Barbie would be a cool $7500.
A six pack of Sam Adams Utopias would bring $600. (It would be a sin not to drink one first to ensure the quality.)
A pair of original Jordans could go $11,000. Maybe sell one shoe at a time and make more money?
Can't wait til somebody makes one.
Did go to ballpark about a mile down the road early this morning. Muddy. Standing water. Figured brave it, long as I could stand it. But I'm not a duck. And this was the first time I've been out since kidney failure in April 2013. Took the F2 with the sniper coil.
Lot of targets behind the dugout, rang a lot of 61 (pennies, sometimes 68 even a 71) and the dime (71).
One 1944 wheatie.
Moved to the stands, hit an 83 (quarter) and several other 85+ targets, which after smushing and squeezing ichy squishy mud between gloved fingers, I still couldn't find.
Lying pinpointer said it was in the plug. Nickels were all in the 27-34 range. Surprisingly, I got one hit at the concession stand but didn't bother (43).

The peso rang up at 68. Not everybody has a Dominican Peso with Padre de La Patria, so I'll take it.
The only SILVER is that little iddy biddy dime sized 25 centavos from El Salvadore. Rang in at 74.

Ashamed to admit, I left a lot of targets in the ground. But now I have a good idea of where to start my search next time. And I'm thinking the 8" coil might be a better option to cover more ground.
And one day these will all be Barbie dolls, beer, and Jordans and I'll be rich!
