Yesterday's yard finds

Hi all...

I'm still hunting around in my backyard. I seem to find something cool everyday and I'm getting better at using my detector! Yesterday's biggest victory was actually digging up a coin without having to use my trowel! I successfully pinpointed it and got it out with my probe! I was really excited, since I'm wasting a huge amount of time digging large holes and leaving a mess. My main goal is to get better at my probing skills so I can avoid that issue...

Can't very well ask people if I can hunt in their yards without being able to keep the destruction to a minimum, you know?

Anyway, yesterday I found a couple of memorials (64D and 69D) and a baseball bat weight. We used to call them "donuts" as a kid. Does that still apply?

Here are some pics.

I think the term "donut" still applies.... (I only know that cause my son played baseball since he was 4 and through High School...) ....not that he used them at the age of 4....only in HS...

Your doing great on finds!

Your own backyard is the best place in the world to practice your recovery techniques. Provided your other half doesn't kill you for tearing up the yard......

In the end, it should look like no one has even been there........Oh and how practice makes perfect.....

That "donut" is a nice find. So far I found 4 baseballs and a batting cage token.
I am also trying to learn how to hot destroy a lawn.
