It is HUGE!!

Went to the beach to detect the TotLot, than decided to work my way to the sand. Didn't search the sand much due to difficulty walking in it. Along with clad coins found another Chucky Cheese token 2001. When I reached the sand I saw another person metal detecting, from a distance he looked familiar, I got closer and than I knew who he was (one of the members from the metal detecting club I'm in). We talked for a little while detecting and different areas, than he went on searching the sand and I was on my way back to the car. I searched an area of grass that's in the shade of the trees that's when I got a very strong target (figured is was a quarter spill) when I found it it was Huge, this mans ring. Called over to Curt to show him what I just found that's when he saw that it was silver it has the .925 mark also the letters GM possible the makers mark.

Tuesday Morning Coin Shooting...

This morning, I had planned to go to a park in another suburb but at the last minute I went to a different area-not a good idea. Four parks there TotLots, the first place did so-so in the wood chips found a whole .53 cents. also found a namco token this is from the 2 playgrounds. This area is so large with baseball, volley ball, soccer areas but the grass was very wet, I'm tired of coming home with wet feet so only searched the woodchips also don't know if can search those areas. The second park, when I got there saw that a construction/town crew was working on the playground, so I turned around and headed to the third location. This third place nothing in the chips, I decided to check under some benches found a quarter. Again, didn't stay long. Went to the fourth and last park of the day. I did dig up two pennies, made it a short search. After putting everything back into the car I circled the tennis and basketball courts to eyeball for coins, found a dime and penny on the basketball court. Should of stuck with the original plan, that will be for the next time...
**Yesterday I got some silver from the grocery store, I always check my change. Found a 1964 dime. Second silver coin in a week...
