Life has a tendency to throw you curves when you don’t want them. My week got busy and my detecting time was hairy again. I did get out some though.
DAY 1
I went back to the park by the pool and did a quick search of a few of the high traffic areas. I have found goodies here before. In 5 hours I found 115 coins with a face value of $7.78, a modern metal button, 2 keys, a small turn value from a keg spout, a small wire connector, the buckel from a child’s shoe (1940s-1960s), can slaw, tabs and whole cans.
DAY 2
I went to a yard I got permission for a couple of years ago. The quick check was not very good so I didn’t go back right away. I decided to give it another try and had better luck this time.
In 4.5 hours I found 42 coins with a face value of $1.41, a turret for a toy tank, a presidential token, 3 war nickels, 11 wheaties, a modern bullet, part of a 1 oz. sinker, the end of a dart, an aluminum utility pole marker (looks like a giant tack and reads 1000 LUMEN), a tiny bit of can slaw, some tabs and some big pieces of iron that sounded off too loud to leave behind. It is a good thing I got them out because one of the war nickels was near a piece and I didn’t get the signal for the nickel until after I had removed the iron piece.
A nice batch of older coins today. The nickels are 2 1942 P and a 1945 S. The wheaties are, 1918, 1920, 1935 S, 1940, 1940, 1941, 1941, 1944, 1944, 1945 and a toasted one. I haven’t found this many wheaties and war nickels in the same hunt in a looooooong time. The presidential token in Harry Truman and is probably from the 1950s or 60s. It’s hard to get an exact date on these.
DAY 3
I spent a day at camp with the scouts teaching some classes, but I did get a little time to detect. All the tents are up and I can’t detect in areas occupied with scouts so my choices were limited, but I did pretty well considering. I spent 2.5 hours with the CZ21 and managed to find 38 coins with a face value of $4.78, 38 camp tent pegs, 2 sinkers, a very flat leather rivet, a hat pin back, 2 rope tensioners, a dead pocket knife, some melted aluminum from the camp fires and some personal tent pegs. Not bad for a short trip.
I did spot a few coins as I went about my daily life and I pulled a quarter out of one vending machine coin return and 2 out of another. Not a lot, but they do add up.
Another short week with same silver and some older coins. Still having fun swingin in the fresh air helping to keep the old man healthy. Next week or so I will be in Florida helping my daughter move and set up the new home. With luck I will get some time on the beach swingin the Equinox. Thanks for looking, stay safe, good luck and may your coil lead you to good things.
