Yep,, I went out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Of course, I was looking hard for Silver. All 3 parks that I visited have given up a decent amount of silver over the last 2 years. My search for silver coins was fruitless. I'm going to regroup and revisit a few places that gave up some Wheat Pennies back when I was using the AT PRO. If there is any deep silver hiding there, the E-Trac will find it. My 2015 Silver Coin Count is now stuck at 155 coins. I would like to get to at least 162 silver coins,, which would be double the 81 silver coins that I found last year.
My finds over the last 3 hunts were: 25q, 17d, 4n, 43 memorials, 11 wheat pennies, ( 23, 29, 41, 44(2), 45(2), 46(2), 53d, & 56).
I also recovered a Vernon Silver Plated spoon, a marble, a junk ring, an O'B & R brass tag, an old fashioned brass table lighter, a mess of copper scrap, and a Tootsie Toy Truck that still has all 4 wheels attached.
One very cool moment was when I came upon a statue of St. Francis of Assisi that has been placed in a hollowed out tree.

Well done ATW. I am big Tootsie fan, and that is a sweet one!

You have really done on the silver coins this year. Congrats on your total. Jealous...
 

Nice hunts! That's a good assortment of stuff. Good looking truck too!

Very cool. The Oldsmobile price is nice too
 

Looks like you had many good hunts. I believe the tootsie toy is from the 40s and love to dig the old ones. :thumbsup: 7 silvers needed and 23 days to go, I have faith in you AGW.
 

The Tootsie 'Shell Oil' tanker truck is a cool find man, I've never found one of those here in Canada! :occasion14:
Very nice pic of the Jesus icon in the tree too!

Very nice tootsie. Doubling your silver count is awesome, but you're left with a dilemma next season!
 

The Tootsie looks like a 1948 Tanker, what's throwing it off is the originals were red and grey and this one looks yellow, which Dave stated it's a Shell Oil, nice find! You still have sometime left to get the half dozen silvers. Good luck
 

Congrats on the finds I'm a big Tootsie fan and collector. All wheels intact is a bonus
 

LOVE THE OLE FUEL TRUCK ..
 

On the purple cloth is an Armature from an electric motor or generator and it appears that is what's left of a ball peen hammer next to it.
Anyway, very nice finds and display.
If you play the game right, you usually win.:occasion14:
