Howdy Folks!
Today started a bit iffy, considering I overslept until 10am, when the television
repairman awakened me by knocking on the door. As I let him in, I noticed I'd
also missed getting the trash out for collection soon enough.

The TV repair guy worked on my set and 2 hours later, when he left, the picture
was stunningly sharp and brilliant. He did a heckuva job.

After cruising the neighborhood looking for the trash truck, I found a street they
hadn't hit yet. Since I couldn't find them to bring them my trash, I decided to
leave my trash where they'd come along later and get it. So I unloaded my
car of several bags and left them sitting in front of a vacant house with a
"for sale" sign in the front window.

Other episodes punctuated my day, but eventually I got around to hunting.
By then it was after 4pm. My first stop netted a good clutch of coins and a
heart shaped earring. My second stop was a school I last visited in August.
60 seconds later, I got a nice sound in my headset and a VDI of between
4 and 6. It kept bouncing between those numbers. My probe shortly revealed
the target to be a nice 14k gold ring. Small, but nice. On the front are what
appear to be a wee little set of baby shoes. Then I moved on to the swings,
and somewhere near the middle of a row of 8 or 10 swings, I found a 10k
gold earring with a VDI flickering between 2 and 3.

I hit one more spot on the way home, but was real happy with a double tap
on gold, and had a pretty good clutch of clad in my pocket. A few more coins
were found at that last location, and since it was getting chilly, I decided 3
hours were enough for today.

A three hour hunt got me 2 nice gold items.

My take was:
11 Quarters = $2.75
7 Nickels = $0.35
19 Dimes = $1.90
32 Pennies = $0.32
1 Sac Dollar = $1.00
Total = $6.32
Coin Count = 70 coins.

Thanks for checking out my post.
Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Shouldn't that dollar coin have a date on it to the right of Sacajawea's face? :icon_scratch:

My hunting pardner, Pipster, called when he saw that coin and said it might be something
shpadoinkle. So, we checked it out and talked about it over the phone. Turns out it is a
proof coin. Some kid probably took it along with him and broke it out of the hard pack
it came in.

Pipster found this link that talks about this coin.

Good catch, however. You got a good eye!

Howdy Matt!
Well, I've never found any platinum jewelry... so yeah... it can get better.
Hope it does, too. I'd love to find some platinum one of these days.
Meanwhile, I can remain pretty content with gold while I'm waiting! LOL!!!

Thanks for your reply.

So after you revisit the same spots you still find gold with every hunt. Amazing

Trick is to find spots that have high traffic volume, and are visited frequently by
lots and lots of people. They'll restock the place given a bit of time, and that works
well for the guy with a detector.
