Am I lucky or what? OK here's the skinny. I had the opportunity to spend 1 hour and 10 minutes swinging yesterday..swinging a metal detector coil that is. It was a fun diversion from a long day. I was workign in a downriver city and decided at the end of the day to stop at a local park I have been eye balling for months. Well in just over an hour I had managed to dig up 26 coins in total for a whopping $2.69, along with a 2010 Mustang and a bracelet. probably the most I have dug in such a short period of time. It was a nice break from a long day but it was a HOT out.
Happy Hunting to all.

"Argh..ther be treasure in them ther waters"
ok..not so much treasure and not so much IN the water..but close and close.
Went out earlier this week to get some fresh air and took the Metal detector down to the lake picnic area. Spent about 1 1/2 hours digging junk and had a great time! Was refreshing to get some air and some added excercize. It worked out be a cup of various trash items such as foil and glass and such trash. The end result was $1.68 worth of coins dating from 1959 to 1990. (4 quarters, 6-dimes, 8- Pennies)
I was using the Fisher F2 metal detector and the fpoint pin pointer which was handy but you have to pretty much touch the object with it to find it. But, in dirt findin a copper coin or even the other coins were oxidzed so much they blended in it did help. Anywhooo...the best part was gettign out and about after this long cold winter. Now I can't wait to get back out and get my hands dirty again.
Above all else..enjoy yourself it whatever you do.
(missing the makeup and animating but this summer plan on building a shed and getting some room in the garage to rebuild the work area. ) =)
