For the last three days my car had been sitting in the repair shop.
So I had been hoofing it to a local school and several nearby parks.
Not wanting to tote the large 17" coil around I switched to the 5 X 10" coil.
And tried to concentrated on those elusive crappy Canadian clad coins.
Since Minelab detectors and the CTX in particular are notorious for not hitting on steel clad coins I think that I did OK.
There were a few highlights and some disappointments over the last three days.
The local school yard has produced some gold for me before so when this came out I was excited. At least for a moment. This is the oldest coin that I have pulled from this particular school.
I think this 30.06 should go into the don't do this at home category.
Or in a school yard with other kids standing around.
Friday was a little better in the keeper department but it also produced the most trash.
I will get to that part in a moment.
I started out the day hoping to hit one of my favorite nearby parks for the day.
But I had not counted on the lack of drainage and the field was totally saturated from the resent rains.
Before I left I did manage two finds though.
The first I have no clue what it was originally because there are no markings on it.
