Hi Everyone!

Decided to take the Whites Classic III out for a spin across the road in a field that the School uses for a parking lot during football games. Was really into it with my headphones on and finding a couple of quarters and a dime when my firstborn daughter walks up and says hello. We walk and talk for a brief moment when she looks down and points at a crisp five dollar bill laying on the ground. I said wow! can't get no better than that. Then I start scanning the ground and see another green piece of paper with $100 displayed prominently on its folded lovelyness. I said gleefully "This one is mine"! Frantically we both start eyeballing the horizon for every piece of paper blowing in the wind as the sun goes down. Savannah again comes up with the last couple of bills. One a Ten and the other a dollar. This was the best fifteen minutes I ever had looking for treasure with a metal detector.

I probably would have returned home with 60 cents to my name if it weren't for my great little daughter and her wonderful eyes!

Wonder if the money was for gas; something to
eat after the game; an iron lung for someones mother.

owners :D ;D ;)

Hi All,

Looks like I will be using the money I found for a new windshield for my car. Was driving behind a pickup truck when he ran over a bunch of roofing shingles. The shingles (about three of them) gave my car a good sanding all the way from my bumber to the top of the windshield. Could not buff the scratches out of the windshield so I have to replace it.

Oh well!

That sounds like the kind of luck I have.

I was detecting at an old fairground and just found a 1903-s Barber dime. (Value: about $300).
I sat the machine down to take a break and some guy throws a frizzbee, hitting the detector, and breaking the connection to the box. :'(
 

Great story horrible ending,isnt that the way with luck? Its either good or bad. The frisbee story made me want to throw-up,I cant imagine how it all came out,Ill be keeping my eyes out now for flying projectiles.
 

AWWW! Shoot DH! Well....just think..if you hadn't have found the money...then you would have really been out of pocket! :P

Congrats to you and Savannah on your finds!

Nana :)
