Found 1st Indian Penny on October 27, 2009...

This morning went to two locations, first was back to the soccer fields that yeilded $1.50 in clad coins, I just love those quarters (I have one thing to say, people that walk there dogs should pick up the mess that is left by them). Than I decided to go back to the Beach/Park, I hunted a tiny section not far from the Carousel, found .30 cents and in that my first Indian Head Penny a 1902.

Coin Shooting and Yes Got Rain...

This morning, I went to a new location a school couple of the play areas had nothing the area that had all the playground equipment did okay got .53 cents. Than off to another new location, that one didn't do well at all, came out with .03 cents. I did meet a lady that was walking her two dogs, one of the dogs was very friendly and came up to me to say in doggy words "Hi". The rain came so I went into the car, again I saw the lady come back with her pets from walking the friendly dog looked very lost she was actually looking for me. I opened the car door to show her that I was over here in the car and the ears perked up and she came over for a scratch on the head. Guess I should carry dog treats, LOL!!!. Than off to the Park/Beach, this area pays off good. In one small area I was pulling coins out of the ground, quarters, dime and many pennies a total of .69 cents in a short time, than the rain came so had to call it a day for sure I will be there tomorrow...

Coin Shooting at the Beach...

This morning is very warm and humid, a good day to be here at the beach. I didn't search the play area to much nor the sand (hard to get a good target with all those black hot rocks) so I searched the park/picnic area and have to say I did pretty good. There was this one large tree near the area that concerts at the beach is held thru out the summer, I got many coin hits and some where multiple coins (quarters and pennies) in an area. Some of the coins were found on top of the soil just under the grass. Found two old coins, one a 1954D wheat penny and a 1947 nickel. Someday I'll get some really good finds...
