All Treasure Hunting
I got a late start today. Procrastinated a little over some coffee in front of the Boob Tube. I started swinging the coil in an area I had never visited before. I can tell from the amount of quarters, this place hasn't been visited by too many other treasure hunters either. Today the park was pretty empty. It is a school day and the chilly weather and 40 mph wind gusts probably had something to do with it.
I picked an area that I thought was used as a picnic grove in the summer and a sledding hill in the winter. After a little over an hour of scanning lots of clad, I got a nice little chirp. Had to dig it out from under a root from a tree stump. A 1952s Roosevelt Dime. Silver # 150 for the year.
The rest of the day was a cakewalk. I thought I would be leaving the park a little earlier than I usually do but when I finally turned off the machine, it was a little after 4 P.M. Time sure flies when you're having fun.
My finds for the day were: 35q, 30d, 2n, 60 memorials, 5 Wheat Pennies, (25, 45(2), 50, & 56d), and a 1952d Silver Roosevelt Dime. I also recovered a Hot Wheels, a U.S. Army crossed sabers w/B hat badge, a miniature camera, a bicycle reflector a couple of brass nuts, a brass lock and some copper scrap.
My 2015 Silver Coin Total is now 150 Coins.
Happy Friday the 13th everybody

Very cool, 150 is an amazing number. Good job keep it up
 

Wow! Nice!
I have been doing this MD thing for about two months with my new CTX 3030. I have found around 100 newer coins, I have yet to find anything to post on here. Still learning.

Can't fathom that number. You 100+ folks are some home run sluggers of metal detecting.

Hey Butch,
Welcome to the hobby. You have selected a top shelf machine. Be patient and swing slow.
The CTX 3030 is a silver magnet.
 

That's a first. What I thought to be a Collar Disk having the clip, never seen one.
With over eight million people visiting any of the city's parks a year. You've only scratched the surface.
 

Nice hunt, thats allot of silver dude!
 

Quite a good day I'd say- heck, you can buy a nice silver coin with all those quarters & dimes if you want!
