This morning in my hometown

[caius_gauge]

Hi everyone,

I got up early on my only day off today, and got out to my hometown, about 40 min away just before the sunrise.

I was remembering some old spots from my childhood (they were old way back then, im 32 and wanted to see if there was some fun silver spillage waiting for me. I was wrong, but I didnt go home empty handed.

I went to an old swimming area, and found a lot of clad coins, a 20 cent Euro, and some weird copper pieces, and a bullet head.

Then I went to an old ballfield where I used to play little league. Apparently most of the people that lost coins were in the early to mid eighties So........clad city. BUT! Since I realized it was going to be mostly clad, I decided that volume was more important, and literally DRAINED that ballpark. I was in my hometown a TOTAL of 4 hours, both locations combined.

I have only been detecting since late July of this year, and today I ended up with over 6.70$ in clad:
(15) quarters
(27) dimes
(72) pennies
(1) 20 cent Euro
(1) cute butterfly necklace pendant(the wife snagged it)
(1) fun filled bag of trash and metal garbage! (the gift that keeps on giving

I am still a noobie, but I am getting better. Only 3 months in, and gaining speed!!!!!

That is a good day in clad. I would take that most days. Just keep learning your machine and what it is telling you. Luck can only help you when you have the skill required to take advantage of it.

That is alot of targets for one day, so I think we can graduate you up a few grades from "newbie." That's more clad than I've found in a day, your joints are apparently younger and more flexible than mine! You're on the right track, you gotta dig alot of clad and crapola to find the treasures.
Nice gas rebate.

Good job on the clad, One thing I am surprised about though is no nickles? Wonder if it was from discrim? or avoiding bottle tops?

What a haul! Your quantity of coins in such a few hours is amazing. I've been detecting almost a year but lack the speed and stamina that you and my son both have. Which is one reason I love to go to t-net to see what others pull up.

Oops, you missed one coin at the edge of that field, gotta go back! lol HH Andi
