Missed Silver by One Year...

This morning the weather looked iffy it was cold, very dark clouds for awhile I expected it to start raining, but it didn't. I went to this park I was at the other day across from the mall, this time I searched next to 2 basketball courts. Did very good, in fact next to one court I was digging out quarters and dimes, many holes had multiple coins. On my ACE 250 got a signal that registered .50 cents and when I dug the target it was 2 quarters back to back. After I got back home from 2 hours of searching, getting muddy and very wet feet. I cleaned the coins off so I could tally my finds, one quater was a 1965 and one dime also was a 1965 (bummer) I will be going back there very soon, maybe tomorrow if weather permits.

Coin Shooting/treasure hunting: coins- $5.43; 13 quarters (1965, 1968, 1977, 1983P, 1990P, 1993P, (2)1995P's, 1997D, Pennsylvania 1999P, Maryland 2000D, New York 2001P, Colorado 2006D), 14 dimes (1965, 1970D, 1977D, 1981P, 1983D, 1989P, (2)1991P's, 1995P, 1998P, 1999P, 2001P, 2005P, 2008P), 6 nickels (1974, 1985P, 1989 Canadian, 1993D, 1998P, 1998 Canadian), 48 pennies (1963, 1965, 1966, (2)1969D's, 1971D, (2)1973's, 1975, (2)1976's, 1976D, (4)1978's, 1979, 1983, 1984, 1985, (2)1986's, (3)1988's, (3)1989's, 1990, (3)1992's, 1993, 1994D, 1995, (2)1998's, 1998D, (2)1999's, 1999D, (3)2000's, (2)2001's, (2)2008's).

Columbus Day Search...

Today is Columbus Day and weather pretty good other than chilly. I went to the park at the beach to search some, the finds are starting to get thin not many people coming down to the lake now. Found some clad, nothing in the TotLot except for one button on the backside it says "Waterbury Co's Inc. Conn." On the way back to my car I found this ring in very good condition the middle stone is pink and the side ones are clear has no mark. I believe it's not real but makes a good addition to my collection of rings. Also found a 1958 nickel that I need for my album. Tomorrow I plan on going to the park I searched the other day, has basketball courts, tennis courts and the bleachers by a couple of ball fields.

A stop to the grocery store...

Today, I took a break from metal detecting even though the weather was out standing. We watched a couple of movies on DVD, first one was "Urban Legend" to scary for me to watch especially at night and than the other movie was "7 Pounds" with Will Smith, to me that was a very good one to watch, finished watching around 3 AM, so this morning I slept in. Early this afternoon stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things in one of the check out lines I spotted a penny on the floor, so I went and picked it up. Hey, see a penny pick it up all the day you'll have good luck.
