Went out with the 250 today for about four hours and had some good finds.

I am up in MI for work and went to this park to try the 250.The first hour found three cents. Went over to an area away from people; they were starting to show up. Got a good hit and it was a penny, about ten feet away found a 1958-nickel. Started walking for the woods and got a hit, it was a silver ring. After hitting the woods right on top of the ground found a large cent, cant read date. The rest of the time didn

Hey Tom:

I think you might have done exactly the right thing by heading for the woods. Most clad hunters don't usually venture in to wooded areas.

I tried this myself today for the first time, and though I didn't find any old coins, I did come up with an old Cold Chisel, which is a relic, I guess. Also found lots of .22 shell casings and beaver tail pull tabs. Beaver tails mean other old stuff is in the woods, so that's where I'm heading next time.

Good Luck

I'd hit it again anyway and find the brother to that large cent.

Yah sometimes it looks like a place was hit hard but there is still stuff there. Just have to think of areas that were missed. I bet the wooded area still has a lot of goodies.

Did very well, its always nice to get them rings !

Cheers!

Yeah one can stumble upon some nice stuff off the beaten path.
