My wife and I are on a road trip from California to Peoria, I'll to attend her 50th Class Reunion. Of course I brought my trusty metal detector. Matter of fact I brought 2 of them. My AT Pro and the CTX 3030. We have been in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Illinois. On the way to Illinois, I had an eyeball find of an 18" 14K gold chain in Texas. What a shocker. I was walking over to a sign so my wife could snap a picture. Laying right on the ground was the chain. Beautiful chain, completely in tact. My lovely bride is wearing it as we speak. It is a loop link chain. My first ever chain, and definitely my best eyeball find ever.
Today I hunted a baseball field, just the sidelines where the people set in folding chairs and watch the game. I'm reasonably sure this little field has never been hunted. In about 45 Minutes I found 29 quarters, couple of dimes and a nickel. I plan on hitting it again this evening after the ball games are over.
Hunted a school built in the 50's yesterday. Little disappointed only found a couple of dollars. Looks like all the local Peoria hunters have hit it. Today I plan on hunting some median strips in an old abandon area of town. Will post more later as the road trip saga continues.
