What do you do when you have an hour to spare?

[thrillathahunt]

Duh!

Why, you go find some place to metal detect. Anybody knows that. AND.......being the savy, opportunist that I am , I found an empty dirt parking lot by a sports complex in my little town, near where I happened to be at the time. It was not a very big parking lot, maybe 100' X 100'

Anyway, I rolled on in and the dust had barely settled, when I got my first signal!

I tell ya'll from then on it was like being in a seeded hunt......coins were scattered everywhere!

Well, to make a short story even shorter, (after all I did only have an hour to hunt) I ended up finding:

50- pennies, 2-nickels, 9-dimes, 5-quarters, 1 George Washington dollar..... AND..... a mood ring, a "go green" key chain piece, two metal buttons and a tarp grommet. Whew! Not too shabby, and LOT'S OF FUN!

P.S. I did dig pulltabs too, but I refuse to show pics of those things.!

Thanks SS, I have to admit....I have a secret weapon for situations just like today. I keep it in the tool box of my truck. It's a small pick...a couple of good whacks, and the coin just pops out. Being that it is just dirt, I brush the dirt back with my foot.

Well, I don't get on my knees when I dig, but my back was a tad sore the next day.

Happy Hunting eveyone!
