Me and the 250 and about five hours at four or five playgrounds..

yields this pitiful amount minus 34 pennies. Pickings were mighty slim but got to get out in the beautiful 85 degree weather.

Although you may think your pickins were slim there are some of us out here that are still looking to have a day with that many finds, great job and thanks for sharing the pics that give us the drive to keep looking!

 

[Steve In Michigan]

He has a point Bill. You know, you should do a little reading and studying about metal detecting. You might learn something. Have you tried "Treasure Depot"? I read a couple of good articles there about coin shooting by some rustic old timer named Reeves, or something like that. He's a master of detecting I hear.

WOW!
Do you realize thats a find every two and a half minutes?? I'm trying to picture what that even looks like... it takes me that long just to turn my machine back on, get the headphones on straight! You prove practice makes progress, nicely done, Bill!

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah I've got about 550 quarters in my 250 can. Going to see if I can hit a 1000 before summer ends. Wish people would lose the SACS like they lose quarters.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah I used to be able to go out and find enough to pay for my gas but no more. There are places on the other side of town I used to hit but am reluctant to do so anymore as most are a fifty mile round trip. I'd have to find nine dollars or so just to cover the gas. The oil companies have screwed up another joy in life. I hope they choke on their billions in profits.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Hey just keep plugging away. They will come.

Bill

 

[Uncle Willy]

Yeah seems to me I've heard of that old fart.

Bill

 

[GH]

Are those Canuck coins silver?
I'm still waiting to find my first silver coin.

Yup, they all add up either way.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Haven't even checked, they are so scroungy.

Bill

 

[Spanky]

Did ok Uncle Willy...are the stones real?

I'd sooner pull a quarter than 25 knee bends for pennys.I seem to get more pennys than anything else lately.

Rained in here for the next several days but I'm gonna get out anyways...the green fella is getting anxious.

 

[Uncle Willy]

Don't think they are real but you never know.

Bill
