Decided to hunt a local area that I know has been hunted before. I'm certain of this because I hunted it about a month ago with my first detector ( Fisher 1280x ) I had prior to upgrading to the MXT. Maybe it's because this machine is so much more capable, maybe I've grown more skilled or maybe I was just sloppy before but this little area gave up a lot more secrets than I was expecting. I pulled out $ 2.24 in clad ( nothing old but a 65' quarter...again! ) and a bunch of other cool finds. Best finds of the day ( in the picture ) 2 silver earrings, a 1972 Indian coin (from India), an old ornamental (folded up) copper flower, 3 junk earrings, a large bling key chain and a red glass marble. One of the junk earrings is an Oakland A's logo with 20 glass stones and another is a post with a large CZ (I think). The key chain is brass and st steel. The center medallion rotates and has "San Francisco" the Golden Gate bridge and a cable car engraved on both sides. My personal favorite of the day is the marble. I've been told that the only way to make red glass is to use gold. If that's the case then, technically, I found gold also ! I just think the marble's neat. The coin has some beautiful writing and designs, in relief, on it. Sorry my camera's not good enough to show the detail. It rings differently than modern clad when I drop it onto the table but because of the date I'm assuming it's an alloy and not silver. Beautiful coin none the less. My 16 yr old son has grown up playing baseball and is also an A's fan so he's claiming eminent domain on the earring.( Just to display, not to wear!) That's about all. Hope you enjoyed it.
