cherry picking and met a new at/pro user yesterday.

I've gone out cherry picking and found a few clad coins and some type of little toy I believe. only digging shallow targets since I can't squat or kneel down and popping them out with my probe or screwdriver. 28 minutes at the park and found 7 coins, 14 minutes in front of the post office and found 4 coins and got skunked at another location, but only stayed about 11 minutes. Talked to a code enforcement officer the day I got skunked and he does some metal detecting and is looking for a rare earth magnet to use when he kayaks on the river at some of the old sites there. Saw another man yesterday and stopped and talked to him and gave him my name and number and tried not to talk long because I knew he wanted to swing his coil and dig instead of talk all day. You meet the nicest people detecting Still haven't set up my knee surgery yet, but probably some time in February.
Good luck and happy hunting and hope this new year brings lots of great finds to every member of this forum.

It did my head a lot of good to get out and detect for a short time and meet some other detectors. Reanm8er , I couldn't get the reply to work on the private message, but the answer is yes on the name Fongu. In some parts of Italy, it means one thing and in the other parts it means another. At least that was the way it was explained to me by my Italian friends.
