Missed Silver by One Year...

This morning the weather looked iffy it was cold, very dark clouds for awhile I expected it to start raining, but it didn't. I went to this park I was at the other day across from the mall, this time I searched next to 2 basketball courts. Did very good, in fact next to one court I was digging out quarters and dimes, many holes had multiple coins. On my ACE 250 got a signal that registered .50 cents and when I dug the target it was 2 quarters back to back. After I got back home from 2 hours of searching, getting muddy and very wet feet. I cleaned the coins off so I could tally my finds, one quater was a 1965 and one dime also was a 1965 (bummer) I will be going back there very soon, maybe tomorrow if weather permits.

Went back to small park...

This morning I went back to the small park and continued the search in the tennies court/basketball court area, no thunderstorms to interrupt but later today storms are coming. Didn't find a whole lot seems like the beach area is the Hot area for coins, probably go back there tomorrow.

First Day of Summer...

A good morning for detecting. Went to 3 parks than called it a day, the first place was at the beach TotLot here found $1.16 and a huge earring which is junk, as I always start at the swingset the first hit right away was a quarter. The second park not to much, did find .16 cents and a red New York Yankees cap, it's sitting on the dash board of my car and as long as I have it that's where it'll be. The third and last park for today is the one next to my sister's house, found .27 cents probably could have found more but getting tired. Also a carnival is being set up going to search there when it leaves.

Today after work I stopped at the grocery store, after going thru costumer service I eyed the coin star return slot and to my surprise there was a handful of coins. I started to get them out didn't care what the people in line were thinking (I know someone was surprised I heard a gasp). Had a good selection, a lot needed for my coin folders and also got 2 silver dimes. 5 Canadian pennies all are 2008's. 5 Lincoln cents 1975, 1984, 1995, 1996, 19??. 6 Canadian nickels 1978, 1980, (2) 2001's, 1952-2002, 2009. 3 Canadian dimes 1978, 1995, 2003. 4 Roosevelt dimes (2 silver 1959D, 1961D), 1967, 2006P.
