Second weekend hunt with the X-Terra 70

As the weather was beautiful again I decided to go out for my second little hunt. My daughter and I got up early this Saturday and we hit the local park half past eight. Blue sky, little white clouds, but cold and the ground still frozen. The park is near a medieval moated castle; I took a photo with my mobile - that's the reason why the quality is not that good.

I started detecting and my daughter started feeding the crows and later on the goats, as they left their nearby stable.
(Background on the left side - this is only a small part of the playground)

After an hour and a half we decided that we are nearly frozen and so we walked back to our car. My daughter insisted that I take a photo with her swinging the detector.

So this is what we have found in that one and a half hour.

A little child's hair clip.
A Matchbox car produced 2004 (Ford GT Model 2005)
20 cent (2002)
A corroded 1 Pfennig coin from 1982 or 1983
A very corroded 5 Pfennig coin from 1991

Not too bad for our second try. The coins showed up very solid on the TID - with a clear sound. The Matchbox car was only one and a half inch deep and I thought I blow up the detector as I tried to pinpoint it - the pinpoint sound was that loud crying. Overall I have to say that this time I found it much easier to detect and to pinpoint the targets. I still believe, that the first playground we visited had a bad ground, because of the coal mine located there before.

I am looking forward to the next weekend. My daughter and I havn't decide what locating we hunt - maybe the same playground, mostly because of the goats. :twodetecting:

Thanks, Peter
 
and your daughter sure looks happy. Good luck on your next adventure. Ron

great quality time with your daughter! I think you should get out on the fields considering the area you are in, those tot lots are fun but I think you have a lot of potential for old silver hammered coins and old relics where you are. HH, Mike
 
As soon as I find the time to request the official digging permit I will start to hunt the local fields for relics and old coins.
I am afraid that will not happen before my Eastern Holiday and second thing is, that the local authority will need some time to issue that permit, too.
So, some weeks to go before I can start a serious detecting trip. :thumbdown:
But anyway, I doing my first steps with metal detecting and the combination of detecting and visiting a playground with my daughter just works fine. :spin:
Thx and have a nice day. Peter
 
Hey the time spent with your daughter is great. You got out and found some neat items, congrats, Beale.
