Got out long enough......

[knarfj]

...to get my feet wet (raining) plus get in a few more hours polishing my detecting skills. Didn't find much to brag about but it sure felt good to get out and swing the old coil again.

The dime on the far top right looks like silver when peeking out of the dirt while laying in the bottom of a fresh hole, but it's not. It's a 1988 Canadian and it's 100% nickel.

The dog tag with the gold tone sure had me going for a moment, when I laid the plug aside all that was showing was about an eighth of an inch of its edge. I new it wasn't a coin but sure looked to be gold.

You are lucky to get out. My wife and Made it back to the Philippines just before the snow storm. Right now I just don't have any ambichen to get out. I know all that I will find is tin cans. Oh well... KEN

Thanks for the post there Mr. K-- Be happy you can get out these days. Been by our local fairgrounds nearly every day. Happens to be where the city is dumping all the snow removal. I drool every time I drive by with the thought of what little treasures possibly could come along with the snow from the city lots. Then when I roll down the window to get a better look and this big droolsicle begins to form on my lower lip, I get shocked back into reality------------------HH-IB

Thanks for the comments. It's amazing how much discomfort one will put up with to satisfy an addiction. I do have my limits though, this year I've resorted to wearing insulated waterproof gloves, down vest and sweater under a hooded rain coat. My poor ole F70 had to make do with just a sandwich bag over it's head.

Looks like you had a great time. At least you got out, the ground is still frozen here.
