Well last night, after buying a new digger, I managed to find 3 cents! One was at a local kiddy park (however I only had about 20 minutes there because I had to get home for dinner.) The other two were in my back yard again. The digger I got at Lowes and it has a serrated edge (great for cutting through roots!) And it has inch marks up to 4 inches. The coin I found at the kiddy park was kinda special, it ended up being a 1980 (My birth year!!)

While at the park I found two old hinges that kept coming up as nickles. (No doubt they were made of nickle!)

This morning I headed to a local park hiking trail in hopes of finding something people may have dropped. I usually hiked there last year, so I know the trails very well. I guess people do observe nature...not even FOIL!! But after 3 hours I managed to squeak out two pennies and a dime.

I'm starting to learn that my ACE250 likes to bounce around on junk but if it's a real coin, three or four times in the a row it signals the same item, it usually is.

Well, off to a doctors appointment and this evening going to hit the park by the local river! Wish me luck!

Keep it up, you will soon be finding the goodies. The hinges are probably brass.

Last night I found my first "returnable item!"

It was a dog tag for a Rosalyn. I called the owner, and he will call me back to arrange pick-up. Otherwise I only found .25 in two dimes and five pennies. I have learned that Miller Genune Draft bottle caps ring up as silver on occation! I went to a senic overview by my house and basically hammered out the whole place in an hour and a half. It was a good learning experience because I've had to turn down my sensativity to almost 2 because of how much it would bounce around ringing trash targets as something worth digging. Hopefully I'll find some really cool finds soon!
