- Bounty Hunter Tracker IV / Garrett Ace 250/Minelab X-Terra 70
This past month I was on the road for work, and took my detector with me so as not to miss out on hunting some parks I normally wouldn't get to....I got to hit 8 parks in four weeks, from texas and Louisiana, up the east coast, and down to Florida....While I did find a lot of clad as usual, I did finally manage to dig up some firsts! My first day I found my first Wheatie, a '44, and boy was I stoked! My second day of hunting yielded my SECOND Wheatie, a '34! Both were in pretty good condition, and then I found a third down in Florida that was a little worse for wear.....I also was lucky enough to find my first Mercury dime, a '37 (looks like it may have had a date with a mower!) that was in really good condition except for the mower hitting it.....Then again, down in florida, we were parked on a lot accross from our hotel which at one time had a hotel on it that had been long gone, and I found my first Indian Head!! The odd thing was the lot was almost all sand, and the IH was partially uncovered! It is dated 1898 and seems to be in good condition after all those years in the sand! Also found some sort of a spatula at a park in San Marcos, TX., and a suspender clasp. Also in that same park I found my first Mexican coin from '58! Included in my pics are also some fishing weights, a square nail, a zodiac coin, a silver and mother of pearl ear ring, and a silver heart pendant, and a brass piece that looks like it was on a necklace...any help on the spatula deal would be great...also with the buckle deal....May post both on What is it?
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking!

Also he called it a thingamajig which certainly was not it's original name and in his book a whatchamacallit was the stick he had with a magnet on the end of it to reach those nuts you drop when you are working on the old farm truck!
