Sundays find...May 29, 2011

Yesterday I stopped at the Dollar store for the Sunday paper, my husband said find a penny than we get it for .99 ccents. As I walked in I searched the floor, nothing. When I got up to the counter on the asprin boxes on the shelf I spotted a penny. When I went back to the car I gave my husband a thumb's up telling him I did find one, LOL!!!. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and get out with my ACE, last week hurt my ankle at first I thought I broke it (heard a loud snap), x-ray's gave me the good news it's not just pulled a tendon/soft tissue.

Beautiful Spring Day.

It is so beautiful out today, but decided not to go detecting instead pick our son up for our Saturday visit. Before going to get him we stopped at BK's for breakfast, when I went to get hubby a coffee refill I spotted a penny on the floor (was a Canadian penny) but still a penny. Later in the day we went to the beach/park with our son, there were lots of kids playing in the Tot Lot. I think I'll hit that area tomorrow morning before the weather gets bad, should find something.

Sunday Morning...

This morning we went out for breakfast and some other errands, first stop was to get some gas from the station at the end of the block. I went to pay for the gas and found a dime on the floor just under the counter ledge. With it being very cold and snowy I haven't been out much to find lost coins or to even do some detecting, I'm hoping for an early Spring this year...

This morning I got up early to go detecting at 2 elementary schools. The first place I've done good in the past but today was hard to get some searching done. I was getting bitten by mosquitoes bad, could even heard them buzzing around my head with the head phones on. It is very shady, damp in that area. I decided to leave that location to go to another school at the mosquitoe school I did find .66 cents , that was for a 1/2 hour of detecting. The second school was much better, I wasn't being attached by those Blood suckers. Found .50 cents on top of the woodchips (eyeballed) and the rest was found in the grass around the building, at this school found $1.76.

The ground was wet from the heavy rain that we had yesterday, after here I decided to go to the beach and search the TotLot there. I didn't come out empty handed but not good. Found something that looks like a wavey ring (junk) and .62 cents, a Sports and Music festival was being set up here at the park so I decided to call it a day and stop.

Got my first Big Coin Spill...

Today is another Hazy Hot and Humid day, went out early and back to the park I was at yesterday. This time I searched an area that had travel trailers parked from the carnival. Found a few coins as I was walking over to the area, than I started getting hits for pennies but all I was digging up was can scraps (bummer). As I was doubling back I thought maybe just focus on hits for quarters, than it happened in about a two foot area I was getting many hits from quarters I started digging up quarters seemed like there was no end got a total of $9.25 in quarters. I think I'll go back there tomorrow, supposed to be another Hot day. Searched for an hour than called it quits because of the humidity.
The newest quarter that I dug is 2007 so I figured these quarters had to been lost in 2008 or 2009 for all are typical dark in color...

Coin shooting/treasure hunting: coins- $9.68; 37 quarters (1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1970D, 1974, 1982P, 1983P, 1986D, (2)1986P's, (2)1994P's, (2)1995P's, (2)1996P's, 1997P, 1998P, South Carolina 2000P, Virginia 2000P, Kentucky 2000P, New York 2001D, Rhode Island 2001P, Indiana 2002D, Mississippi 2002P, Ohio 2002D, (2)Maine 2003P's, Wisconsin 2004P, Kansas 2005P, Oregon 2005P, Nebraska 2006P, (2)South Dakota 2006P's, (2)Washington 2007P's), 4 dimes (1995D, 1997P, 1998P, 2000P), 3 pennies (1993, 1995, 2006).
