Went to Sea Breeze...

Today went to Sea Breeze my son and husband were at the water rides I sat and watched. At the Helfix I waited at the benches while they took the ride, it's similiar looking to the toilet (LOL!!!!). Under the bench I spotted a nickel, you got it I picked it up :-) . After awhile we got rained on and man did the sky open up and the rain came, all the little kids had a ball running and jumping in the puddles.

Found a President today...

I know this is not an old coin, sure everyone that goings detecting probably has gotten one of these but this is the first US dollar that I found while Metal Detecting, was found under a swing. It's a 2010P. This and clad coins was found at the beach playground, this was the first stop for the morning, also found a watch that goes on a chain it's the shape of a star and a picture on the front possibly Hanna Montana (it's keeping good time). The second park did pretty good found $1.08 in clad (gotta check the grassy area next time I go there). The last place for the day this park only found .06 cents. At home when I went to mow the back yard found a penny in front of the gate.
