Todays Finds Local Parks

[DIGDAWG]

Hello everyone looking..... Just wanted to show what I found today at the Park's. I woke up early this morning and had that itch to go hunting (MDetecting) some newer city parks, so around 5am I made me some coffee and off I went. When I arrived at my first stop it was still kinda dark and the sun was just comming up, so I finished my coffee and out I went. Spent around 3 hours picking up alot of pulltabs, bottle caps and a few coins in "All Metal Mode" since it was a new spot, I got tired of digging trash , so I packed it up and headed off to the next new hunting ground. Drove about 15 miles and arrived at Park #2.
This park was very clean on top and underneath, hardly any trash My MDetector started to ring off great and after 2 1/2 hours of diggin' and a pluggin', 95% of the coins I found today are from the second park. No wheats, no silver, no Gold, more pulltabs, 1 Chucky Cheese Token and a Carwash Token shown in picture. Arrived home 6 1/2 hours later, tired.......not much cash, Will i do it again? You know it!
.
P.S. Did'nt feel like hauling all my trash home, so I left it in the Parks trash can where it belongs. HH

Nice haul of coins, thank you for sharing!

 

[BigWaveDave]

wow..you were busy!

 

[DIGDAWG]

Yes I was very busy, pennies and tabs were a ringing.
The best part of the second park was the greenskeepers were very cool about me being there, so I was very tidy about filling my holes and not making a mess of their greens.

Very good work, your digging muscles must be huge now, lol Keep digging, sooner or later you will hit gold!

Nice haul! No wonder you're tired! I think they would be hauling me away after 6 1/2 hours, I'd be in permanent MD'ing position just non motion mode! Lol!

Good haul, DIGDAWG! Park #2 sounds like a dream site, hope you go over it several more times in case there's older coins deeper down! Even junky park #1 is a good backup for when you run out of easier sites -- my son and I have repeatedly dug some of our oldest coins & several lovely gold items in a rough embankment which at first we were tempted to ignore because it's also very loaded with beer caps, industrial trash, broken glass, etc. And I dug my best gold ring at an iron-infested rocky beach which had been detected for years by others -- but apparently none willing to keep detecting up against rebar-altered boulders, large buried iron junk, etc. -- that ring had been buried for decades at what I used to call the "nasty little beach" before I pulled up the small trashy items hiding it! Gold ring actually had a thin skin of iron adhering to it! I no longer call my new fave beach the "nasty little beach"!

To DIGDAWG & the other Orange County guy who just posted his wonderful mass of quarters: Between you two guys, you'll clean up Orange County real nice, lol! Welcome to t-net, guys, and we'll all be looking forward to your next finds. Andi

Yes, sir. your finds resemble my first 3 month of hunting. In subsequent hunts, those same spots scored my Mulitple Gold rings and silver coins. So I say, YES, Keep it on your list for future hunts, but also, find more places. You can never have too many places to hunt.

A couple of years ago for about 6 months I was swinging an off brand Chinese detector learning where the coins were hiding and recovery, sifted through alot of garbage getting broke in to this treasure hunt I started. The detector had Pinpointing and Disc. with old school turn dials and a needle meter, but I was determined to make it work for me and eventually got the swing of things and started finding some coins. I was just finding mostly clad and pennies in parks and beaches but never came home with much, I found myself carring the MD with me everywhere I went. I'd be driving down the street stopping any place I thought there might be something to find, even found coins in places you would never think they would be.
Then I bought a Minelab X-terra 305, and like you said, went back to the places I hunted before and thought I already cleaned out. The first time I tryed my new Minelab out was so much fun, I basically just turned it on and started, no adjusting or fine tuning and was hitting coins like crazy and found my first silver dime that day.
I've recently bought a Garret AT Pro and loving it, watch out Gold....here I come!
