- Minelab Safari with SEF 8x6; coming soon: FORS Gold+
I returned from my California trip yesterday exhausted, so after a good night's sleep I got up this morning and performed a few chores, met the wife for lunch, and headed back home. Later in the afternoon I decided to hit the old jail once again in town. They're building a picnic area and restrooms there and had disturbed the dirt recently, so I pulled out the Safari and went to work.
I only had about 45 minutes before dinner but that was all the time I needed to bag a neat 10 cent trade token (which I could have easily mistaken for a washer!) and a silver plated religious pendant.
The token registered +20 on my Safari. Weird. Normally I would have thought it to be a pull tab of some sort as they often can come in that range, but not this time! The pendant's base metal is a very, very light metal, like pot metal, but it must have been the silver plating which gave it a +37 on my detector's screen, unless it is somehow aluminum plating. But up close it looks like silver to me.
Glad to be back home.
