Detector(s) used
White's PRL-1
Hello fellow TNeters. We had amazing weather today here in bright and sunny Florida, perfect for an all day hunting spree! My nephew (Swingin4clad) and I made four stops today to detect and found clad all over. Each stop I found more and more.

My first stop was by an old house from the 30s (pic 1). I didn't find anything significant just coins.

Second stop was an open field next to our local grocery store (pic 2). It was used for small carnivals and yard sales. Again nothing significant. But I did find a 30-06 round that hadn't been fired. Thought that was pretty cool.

Third stop was the Elementary School Playground (pic 3). Here I cleaned house. I couldn't stop finding coins. I did get two nice wheat pennies: 1944 D and 1953 D and a 1966 Canadian penny.

My last stop was the Kindergarden playground on the other side of the elementary school (pic 4). I also cleaned house here. Coins were everywhere. I found another 1953 D here also.

All in all I ended up with roughly 220 coins with monetary value of $16.97, a cheap knock off chain, 3 wheaties, 1 Canadian, 37 quarters, 66 dimes, 109 pennies, couple of buttons, a magnet and a few tokens. This was my first school playground I have ever hit. Lets just say Ill be hunting all the local elementary playgrounds in my area :icon_thumright:! This brings my running total to roughly $31.00 towards paying off the detector! Good thing my brother gave me a great deal and I only have to pay $70 bucks for it!!

Cheers,
Debuck03

Crazy, looks like my post today tons of clad, a bullet and two sacajuea dollars..nice haul!!
 
Deff wont take long with all that :headbang:
 
Nice finds Debuck03. I used to live in Melrose in '84-'85, right off 21 on lake Melrose (we called it alligator lake because it was infested back then, probably still is).
 
Yep... Won't take long to pay it off. Unless you have one of those high falootin Minelab GPX-5000s. Then you better find some gold fields!

Seriously, stay at it, something really good will turn up. All it takes is one ring and you've got the detector paid for!

Have fun.
 
Paying off the detector and then making money and loving every minuet of it while enjoying the fresh air and getting exercise. It don't get any better then that.
