Back to detecting and much cooler...

This morning is a lot cooler and a bit breezy at times also got a little rained on, I went to the one park that had a carnival last week. I only searched in front of the cinder block bldg. On a pole high up is a small sign that says Private property I felt a bit uncomfortable searching the field but it is part of the park. There was someone there in the bldg but he didn't say anything to me so I might try searching there in the future. The clad I found there is .48 cents. I went on the the Beach there was also a festival going on over the weekend. I searched the Tot Lot and the area where the Craft venders had there set-up. I found a lot of coins there also, the clad I found in this park $2.67. Wednesday is movie night at the park gonna go there Thursday morning and see what I can find.

Very Humid Day...

Went to 2 schools did poor, the first school managed to get .27 cents. The humidity is so bad 100% making it difficult to see thru my glasses (fogging up). I went on to the second school nothing at all, don't know if someone else was there before me or it's the squirrels leaving the holes in the woodchips, I decided to stop detecting here. I went to a soccer field at a nearby park saw a game going on yesterday at a small field figured might be lucky here, Yeah Right. I parked the car and when I got my things out I saw these two Finger Rosaries on the ground (Good eyeball find). Did find some clad here .36 cents. I decided to quit for the day.

Went out detecting at two elementary schools this morning Did Very Good today. At the first location found a lot of clad and also this President coin James Madison (1809-1817) 2007P and the amount of clad at this school was $2.28. The second school and last one for the day I did VERY good. Here I found 2 more $1.00 coins Susan B Anthony 1979 and a Sacagawea 200P and the clad was far more that I did in one location, or in any location coins I found here is $5.16. One quarter looks like it lost a fight with a mower, alot of the dimes and quarters where found about 4" down. Also found these two rings, the band looks like a mood ring earlier in the season I had found one similiar, the one with the blue looks like it is silver but don't see no mark. Both of these rings where found close together in a small kickball field at the school. This was the best day in finding coins that I have ever had.

Slow day of detecting...

This morning I went to three parks and did a little detecting. The first park not a whole lot found a little with the detector and in the skate boarding park I eyeballed a bunch of pennies the clad I found here was .51 cents. The second park not much here either found another old lead sinker (a lot of people come to this park to fish) and .29 cents. The third and last park for the day was okay, found .62 cents here. Some days I find very little but than there are those days that produce a lot of clad or a surprise ring. It's the fun of the hobby that keeps me going.

Coin shooting/treasure hunting: coins- $1.42; 4 quarters ( Connecticut 1999P, (2) Georgia 1999P's, New Mexico 2008P), 2 dimes (1989P, 2008P), 22 pennies ( 1959D, 1968, 1970, 1973, 1974, 1982, (2) 1984's, 1984 Canadian, 1988, (2) 1992's, 1993, (2) 1994's, 19??, 2000, 2001D, 2003, (2) 2003D's, 2007).
