Sorry folks but I have been busy getting things together for my fun hunt.
This post covers four days of detecting.
On Thursday I hit a park that myself and others have hunted to death.
For four hours of swing time I found a total of 6 coins.
One of them happened to be silver though. I grew tired of swinging away for nothing after 3 hours and hit the bush.
I found a little clearing in the bush and got a decent signal.
Not being able to dig it up with my hand digger a trip back to the car was in order.
Shovel in hand these were an easy recovery.
To give you an idea on size the brass spike is 7 inches long. All told close to four more pounds of brass in that hole. You can see from that last pic that some dog tags were found.
The best one came the next day on Friday. Two strange items found their way into the pouch on Friday.
The first was a pin with a picture of transformation, I am clueless as to its meaning though.
It is just a piece of junk but the picture is cool. The second item was a frog pin that you will see later on in the post.
This old dime made its appearance shortly after the dog tag. No matter where I went on Saturday I just could not find anything old.
So the cash infusion helped with the days travel costs. Near the end of the hunt Colin called wanting to know if I was up for some more.
I was just to pooped to pop by that time so we made arrangements for Sunday.
On Sunday we meet up with Ronald.
Our first spot was a dud so we put our heads together and came up with an alternative spot that we all knew about.
The first decent find for me was this dime.
