Coin Shooting at Beach/Park was very Cold and Windy...

This morning I went to the beach to do some coin shooting for a couple of hours. Didn't hit the playground not many kids playing there now, but did the park/picnic area around the trees. Got a lot of target hits but didn't dig everything for the pull tabs and bottle/beer caps are everywhere, when the ACE 250 had a sure coin tone I did dig, some were (large) bottle caps they seem to mimic quarters. One area had many coins scattered together including 2 quarters next to each other on top of the soil, must of been a pocket spill. Also found a child's charm design is of a Sun...

Coin Shooting at the Beach...

This morning is very warm and humid, a good day to be here at the beach. I didn't search the play area to much nor the sand (hard to get a good target with all those black hot rocks) so I searched the park/picnic area and have to say I did pretty good. There was this one large tree near the area that concerts at the beach is held thru out the summer, I got many coin hits and some where multiple coins (quarters and pennies) in an area. Some of the coins were found on top of the soil just under the grass. Found two old coins, one a 1954D wheat penny and a 1947 nickel. Someday I'll get some really good finds...

Fun Coin Shooting at the Beach...

This morning I got up early, hey don't have to go to work. Was raining so I waited a little bit before going out coin hunting. First stop was at the beach Tot Lot and my very first target I got a ring it has the inital A for the design, it was found in the same area as the first ring I got, see no mark on it so probably a cheap one (but hey at least I'm starting to find rings). Then I also found .38 cents in the woodchips. After there I went to the west end of the beach there are 3 very large trees in the grassy area. I searched around the largest one and was getting many coin targets along with pull tabs and bottle caps, the caps sounded like quarters on my machine but each time I dug it was the bottle cap (drats...I got almost a whole bag full of those). Well, tomorrow will be another day of hunting.

Coin Shooting/treasure hunting: .73 cents; 1 quarter (1969D), 3 dimes (1974D, 1995P, 2006P), 2 nickels (1966, 1991D), 8 pennies (1964D, 1979, 1995, 2001, 2007, (2) 2008's, 1867-1992 Canadian).

Seven being a Lucky Number...

Today is trash day, I got up early and took the can to the curb while walking down our driveway I spotted something shiney and round, when I got up to it I saw that it was a nickel (starting the day out good). After I came back from a errand I brought the can back up, thats when I found a penny in the same area as the nickel (I know the neighbors constantly park in our drive, I believe the change came from them. Hey, finders keepers). Later this morning I went to a local park to visit the greenhouse conservatory and take some pictures for future drawings I'll be doing when the weather changes. I got back to my car as I walked around the back I spotted another penny, that will make a Lucky Seven...

My last day from work was yesterday, they let me go (again...). Went to 3 play grounds, the first had to wait for the rain to stop (thought the weather man said wasn't gonna rain, Yeah Right). Well, it did stop after waiting about a 1/2 hour or so, but have to say one thing it's COLD!!! out today. Was gonna search the beach area but the wind was to strong and the waves made to much noise so I stayed in the Tot Lot, got .12 cents and a charm to a necklace that says Love in script (not silver, don't see no mark). After, I went to a playground I've been to and got .09 cents plus a weight from a fishing line (many people fish in this area). And then to the playground I did very good at the other day, got rained out on the second try on the 12th so I went back to see what the targets where that I couldn't dig. Got .17 cents there.
