While waiting for the meeting to start...

I always get to the center early and have to wait awhile, which wasn't bad today since the weather was nice and comfortable. I walked a short distance to the next door parking lot, there is a car wash place with the vaccums. I decided to walk around the machines and see if I could find anything, did find a penny. I than saw some of the members arriving, so I walked back up to the center...

Coin Shooting Saturday Morning

This morning I got an early start so I could search at one of the elementary schools before the club meeting, that starts at 10 AM. I did find clad, more in the dimes (found $1.08). After the meeting all new members and members that never hunted in a seeded hunt got a short lesson on how and what to do. I joined in since I never have never done one of those. The club president seeded dimes, he showed us the technique that is used to plant the coins in the soil (very interesting). Also, the members that have done this helped the newbies learn the technique on searching and recovering the coins, what to look for and hopefully pick up speed (that will come with time and practice). While waiting I recovered a lone penny. I did get 18 dimes.

Coin shooting/treasure hunting: coins- $2.89; 1 quarter (1998D), 26 dimes (1966, 1970, 1972, 1977, 1978, 1984D, (2)1984P's, 1985P, 1994P, (2)1996P's, (2)1997D's, 1998D, (3)1998P's, 1999D, 2000D, (2)2000P's, 2002D, (2)2005P's, 2010P), 4 pennies (1961, 1982, 1993, 2005).

It is HUGE!!

Went to the beach to detect the TotLot, than decided to work my way to the sand. Didn't search the sand much due to difficulty walking in it. Along with clad coins found another Chucky Cheese token 2001. When I reached the sand I saw another person metal detecting, from a distance he looked familiar, I got closer and than I knew who he was (one of the members from the metal detecting club I'm in). We talked for a little while detecting and different areas, than he went on searching the sand and I was on my way back to the car. I searched an area of grass that's in the shade of the trees that's when I got a very strong target (figured is was a quarter spill) when I found it it was Huge, this mans ring. Called over to Curt to show him what I just found that's when he saw that it was silver it has the .925 mark also the letters GM possible the makers mark.
