Way to go. Larry and I use to go "cladding" all the time but now we're into those deep old coins. Nothing wrong with cladding at all and it's a lot of work too. That's another reason why we don't do cladding anymore. We're getting up there and it's getting a bit harder to be out for hours at a time. Boy, we've had some good years though. Our highest was over $1,400.00 in clad in one year. It was nothing to have $50 days. You keep it up and enjoy. Do you save it to do anything special with your "found" money? We would take trips, etc. Our "get-away" cash.

HH and keep up the cladding. It all adds up in the end.

Carey, you are having fun and that is what it's all about. I have always said "find a detector that you like, learn it, and go have fun", and it's obvious that you are doing just that. The MXT has opened up new horizons for you my friend, keep swinging !!!

she is 7 yrs old and my heart. she tells folks its her college fund. love the grand! Nancy my few parks are so encrusted in trash, like crust on an apple cobbler, ya gotta get thru the top crust to get to the apples. canslaw canslaw canslaw, tabs and screwcaps. i recycle aluminum by giving the tabs to Grandaughter for Ronald Macdonald house thru her grade school, and clean as i go. its the right thing to do! and it gets rid of the masking targets. i actually have to dig it all to get to anything!

At least you have some parks to hunt. The word has it that they are starting to not allow detecting in many. Have fun with your granddaughter. They're priceless! HH, Nancy

Nancy i made a friend with a guy who lives across from this historical district park. he is a member of the friends of the park committee getting grant money etcc... planting trees and so forth. i show him and his wife the trash and glass i glean out, how we properly cut a plug and actually aereate the packed soil which some spots are packed and bare from playing frisbee by the college kids on the other side of the block. he seems ok. the new water lines to the trees are plastic so no problem there. but in future could be with an idiot with an entrencher. when i see a bunch of certain officials i go elsewhere too, a couple i know are not negotiable. politics. but we will do it as long as can. properly then move on se la ve such is life

That's so cool that you have shown them the "trash" that you pick out of the park. Same for any school playgrounds......you never know what is in there. I've found live rounds of 22 bullets, needles, nails, etc. in the wood-chips along side of schools. Unreal. Thank you for being a very conscientious detectorist.
