White's Classic II
Without fail, if I spend just a few hours swinging, I'm almost guaranteed to find one or more super interesting things. And I usually learn a little something as a result. And I am surely happy to collect the clad too.

Went to an elementary school today with my fiance. $3.51 in clad, random children's jewelry, 2 keys, 7 Chuck E. Cheese Tokens (in one hole), and a Hong Kong 2-Dollar coin. What a cool thing! Looks like it exchanges to about $0.20.

Almost all of this was found amidst the equipment chips by my fiance', Jackie and with my Classic II SL.

I really do think this is the coolest hobby this side of the Mississippi. Or the other side.

Awsome digs... what a great way to spend time with the ladies! My wife on the other hand says; "Just go and stay a while... I'm busy". Which is ALSO a good thing! ;D
 
Looks like a productive day.

I found a Bahamas coin that was the same shape. Very exotic!

Nice finds and it is cool your fiance goes with! HH, Mike
 
Since your calling your lady friend your fiance, then I guess you've already proposed. That's a good thing cause it's hard to find a woman like my wife that you can share some of lifes greatest treasures with. ;)

Nice finds. For a random piece of info to do with your HK 2 dollar. In 1981 the royal mint accidently used the HK $2 planchet (metal blank) to make some Aussie 20c pieces. They are now worth over $6000 each! Just thought you or someone else might like a random fact!

Keep up the sweet digs!

Have fun,
Salvager
 
Thats a nice haul you got there. I think that HK 2 is pretty cool!
