Hi All,
Last weekend I spent about an hour at a local school looking for clad...and that is exactly what I found, about a buck 20's worth.
I decided to take my wife out there again today so she could practice with her new M 6 that just arrived this morning (I got mine about two months ago). We were hoping to just find a lot of clad again. I
started out finding a bunch of pennies, a couple of dimes, and then a quarter. My wife was getting used to detecting...and had found a few coins.
Then I walked to the other end of the school by a main road and a
a baseball field. About twenty yards from third base out in the field I got a good signal. When I dug up a 1910 Wheat penny with an "S" mint mark I was shocked! I didn't expect that at all! That is my oldest coin! or should I say was my oldest coin?! (The next oldest coin I had ever found at that moment was a 1923 Mercury dime-the only silver I have ever found). I walked about three yards and got another good signal. What popped out about gave me a heart attack!- a 1902 Indian cent! First one ever.
I went about another three yards and got an iffy signal. I thought maybe a nickel, and I only dug it up because I was getting weird signals in this field. When a 14 karat gold ring popped out I thought I was gonna die. This was a first for me as well!
After that, I gave the wife a few more lessons on the M 6 which she just got today. We swung "HAPPILY" a little more and then decided to swing away back to the car because it was getting dark. I got another good signal-between 77-82-solid coin/silver range. I decided to let the wife try that spot and dig it up. When a silver ring popped out we were quite ecstatic.
All of these were firsts for us! I doubt I will sleep tonight as I can't wait to go there again tomorrow!
