Not much, but a Great Day

Went back to the local high School, and hunted for about 2 hours...I think I have cleaned all the shallow targets from here...I have been finding large square nails at this location, which tells me that others structures once stood where the school is now, or that fill dirt has been brought here from an old location...Either way, there may be Silver here deeper...Time to break out the 9x12 on the next hunt...

Your Bringin' on the Bling Bling

Hit a School in Liverpool today and had my best day ever for bling...Mostly fake, but a few Sterlings, and even one with some CZs, but it is stamped CHINA, so I am not trusting it too much....The cross is .925 and CZ. The thin chain that went with it is also Sterling...chain has a not that I would never be able to get out without a microscope...The turtle and key are pewter, and the rest is junk..the gold and silver colored ring is tin, and the other is copper...the thick chain is unmarked and fake I think...I think it was for those baubles that you can buy and string on earings, bracelets and chains like this one...found $8.11 in clad. One nickel is a 1964 (NOT Silver)...Also found a 1956 Wheat, 1965, 66, and 2x67 Quarters.
I put the snap and piece of clasp in just to show how small of items the 4.5 Super Sniper and 5x8 DD can find...

Happy Hunting,

No More Monkey Business...

Went back to the High School and right off the bat, I could tell someone had been up to some Monkey Business in the Tot Lot...The Green Ape was a surface find in a sand box...I then dug my new car from 3 inches deep...A 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8...I can now get to my dig sites in Style...
I came away with $3.77 in clad...Oldest coins were a 1965 Quarter, 2 1967 Dimes, and a 1967 Memorial Cent...New Game token to add to my collection...I did not have one of this type....
I was chased to the far end of my field by a few She Hulks throwing 5 pound cannon balls and flying saucers (track & field team)...I did not want to fall under fire...

Happy Hunting

Wednesday in the Park

Had to get out while the temperature was back up to short sleeve degrees...Hit my pounded park and raked out a bit more...
It is getting to the point that I can make 3 passes and not find a signal (but trash)...Well, at least I know all the targets will be good for
after the fair this year...I plan to be there right when the last truck leaves, so don't plan on jumpin' my claim...You get dirty looks and handfull of BBs...lol

Replacing the Dollar Bill with the Dollar Coin

As a Detectorist, the Dollar coin would mean more finds for us...But do we really want to carry around these things in our pockets???  What about vending machines???  Every vending machine in the USA would have to be reworked to accept these coins...
What do YOU think???  Comment below and join my Blog...
