I really needed this fun hunt!

[WHADIFIND]

Just went figuring on some clad and a nice walk in the sun.

First of all, as I'm walking along I spy with my little eye
what looked to be a rather LARGE roundness lying on the surface.

I ran the detector over what I saw, no signal.



My first smile of the day. (Plastic)

Then, on my way over to a tot lot, I crossed some bare dirt ground.
I wasn't really swinging, just sort of carrying. I got this surface hit.
Sounded like a bottle cap. I scraped away the hard packed surface:





Who woulda thunk it? This is a 60-ish school.

Not a lot in the "lot" but I did manage this one:




Not magnetic but not marked either.

Continuing on, I looked near a park bench and uncovered this:





Cute charm but I can't make out the marks. I suspect silver.

Along with some clad filling in the duller spots, I wasn't
doing too badly. But, I was wearing out fast. So, I actually
said out loud, "Ok, I'm officially headed back to the car now." LOL

About 10 feet from the car, somewhere in right field, I get this surface
quarter hit. I said, good, I'm too tired to dig deep anymore. I flip
the plug and I see something bigger than I expected:



I cocked my head to the side and said huh?



Then I recognized a bit of the pattern and the shape!




I said out loud, "WHOA - WHOA - WHOA !!!!"

Then, I stopped, looked around where I was, a newer schoolhouse, baseball field, surface hit, this kinda shape and I sat there and laughed right out loud!

I knew what I had and it was pretty funny joke. So, I enjoyed the laugh that
had been provided for my entertainment. I thanked Him and went home laughing.

Here's a few close ups anyway, so you can be entertained too.





All in all, a pretty satisfying, FUN hunt!



Let the party begin!



Thanks for stopping by!

Cool story nice finds..

Your method seems to still be working for you. I'd think that little charm/pendant is silver too since it has the marks.

What kind of coin is that

The suspense is killing me

 

[beez0404]

I love the little sandal pendent. So what exactly is the last coin you found?

 

[vpnavy]

Great finds! Thanks for sharing...

I'm sorry, CJ, I'm not an expert on ancient coins. But if you look at these new pics, (a little higher magnification), I believe you'll see the "bubbling up" that I think is an indication of plating. But, what I'd like to know is just what coin this was supposed to be. So I can mark it correctly for displaying in my collection.

I didn't mean to create a cliff-hanger.






What say experts? Is this a fun coin or what? LOL

It do seem to be helping somewhat, don't it.

I see the marks on the sandal but I can't make out what they are,

Thanks!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Thanks for all the replies thus far! It is a hunt I will remember the rest of my days.
