I had my best day ever but thats not saying much I've only been detecting for a couple of weeks. I still didn't find any gold or silver. I went to a tot lot for about 45 min and found $1.75 (1 gold dollar, 2 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel). This $1.75 is more than the total of about 15 hours of beach hunting so I'm happy to finally break a buck in change in one trip.
