Detecting trip #26

Park area - 1 hour hunt @ 2:30pm

Well I had an appointment and found out that I had the wrong time! So it is a good thing that I had the detector with me!  I decided to change things up a bit and went to a nearby park.  And I was pleasantly surprised! I thought that I would find a lot of rubbish like at the beaches but the rubbish to coin ratio was really good!  I found more coins than rubbish and that is a first for me.

All Finds


Five cent pieces galore!

There must be a record for the most five cent pieces found in an hour!  I have never found so many in one hunt!  I mean, I have found quite a few one and two cent pieces but never more than 2 or 3 five cent pieces at a time.  It must have been a popular coin to drop... lol





Another almost silver...

I really hate finding non-silver predecimal coins!!!  For one thing you almost never find them in good condition so they will have almost a ZERO collector's value. And two they are not SILVER!  That means that they really have no melt value.  And three, I get a little agree at the person who dropped them because they could have dropped a silver one!

But on the other hand they do give me some hope that the area that I am working could have silver potential. So it is a love / hate relationship... lol

Some more pennies & a half...

Well, I found my first coin that has been chopped in two.  I did not find the other half oddly enough, but I suspect that it will be elsewhere at the park that I am searching... and then I will unite them once again... lol.  I always like finding pennies... cause they are always reliable, you get the same kind of signal for each one, they give you hope for finding some silver coins, and they do have a melt value ;).
