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.

Turned out to be a box covered in little shells with a yellow ribbon tied around it. When I got back to the car I opened up the mystery box, inside I found a rosary and some kind of plactic bag which that I thru out. The only thing from that I kept was the rosary. The box was wet and in poor shape so I tossed that too. Did find a lot of coins, also what looked like some type of clip, after I got home I took it apart and found that it had 2 dimes and 3 pennies.

Hot and Muggy day for detecting...

I finally got out been awhile, went to the park at the beach the last 3 days there was a festival so I decided to go and see if I'd do good. Most of the park was still fenced off so I searched the TotLot and all away around the fence, didn't go beyond the fence will another time when everything is back to normal. Still did pretty good even thou I was dealing with leg/foot and back pain (have to get myself moving again). I found what looks like a Jade bracelet (feels like stone) the center stone has an image of a bat (found out it means Good Luck). Also, 6 religous charms/beads looks like something from a craft store, was broken so only found 6 of them.

Went Coin Shooting to 2 locations, first was the park at the beach. I was gonna search the Tot Lot thats where I saw alot of kids playing there yesterday. When I got to the park I saw another person there with a detector and saw evidence that the play area was searched. So I went to a different area next to a resturant, I have been eyeing that area sent the fall. I did pretty good found $2.03 in a small area (I will search that area again). Also, found the thingy with the #2 must of been something in the center for I can see that there is a small hole on each side. The two items in the center I found a the Elementary school I went to after searching the park. When I got to the school as I was getting out of the car I saw a shiney penny on the pavement. At the school I did find some more coins, I have done pretty good here last season (found .73 cents).

Finds for Yesterday and Today...

Yesterdays in was on 3/26/2011, went to MacD's after getting our taxes done. After I ate, went to refill my drink and under the grate at the soda machine I saw what looked like a dark disk, upon looking closer noticed that it was a penny, so I lifted the grate and took it. Todays find was at the Dollar Tree, went to get the usual Sunday paper and while waiting in line to cash out I again noticed a penny, this one was on top of a candy box on the floor level shelf. So I bent down to retrieve that penny. It's been very cold since the last snow fall, has not been out of the 20's so I have not been out to do more Coin Shooting. *********************

Today was really nice, 65 before the sun came up it is very windy. I had somethings to do today so couldn't get in some detecting time. One stop was to Rite Aid, when I got out of the car I spotted a shiney penny in the ground, so I picked it up. In the store as I was getting ready to leave I spotted another penny on the floor just under the shelf edge, so I went and picked that up also. Hey, see a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck, I got two in a short time so I'm seeing good luck this year.
