Coin Shooting this morning at two parks...

This Morning I went Coin Shooting at two local parks, mainly checked out the Tot Lots. These places I have been to many times the last couple of years. The first park is next to my sisters house, when I got there I see that some changes have been made, part of the wooded area has been cut down and the park extended. The search here has produced .57 cents 3 dimes, 2 nickels and 17 pennies and a button. I searched for about an hour.


I then went to the second park, also searched for an hour. Did pretty good here, found $1.42 and a couple of buttons. Found this $1.00 coin which registered a strong quarter on my ACE 250, when I dug it was about 2 inches down next to the parking lot at first I thought it was a quarter but than saw that it was a little larger thats when I saw that it was a $1.00 coin. Than I got 2 quarters, 1 dime, 3 nickels and 7 pennies from this park.

Yes, Finding a Penny is Lucky...

Today, I found a penny in the parking lot at WalMart next to my car. I have to say that this was a Lucky Penny, afterwards I stopped at BK and got a large soda as I was getting out the money the lady said she would just charge me for a small drink. So it is a good idea to pick up those found coins...

Bad weather and High winds...

Today, I didn't do any detecting it was very windy leaves racing down the street and than the rain started. I had a errand to do and after that I stopped at the craft store to pick up a few items. On the way back to the car, I spotted a penny on the parking lot next to a curb.
