So yesterday morning I woke up thinking it was Friday. “Finally! Playing at the new permission tomorrow!” Nope...it was only Thursday. Ended up with pretty much no motivation to work and severe ADD lol After work, I came home determined to finish the work I needed to get done. Kids, dishes, load of laundry, cleaning up...check, check, check, and check. Ok, time to sit and do my work. Finished up one task and about half way through the next, hubby come in with the new toy! Oh yea! He says “hey, come outside and I’ll show you how it works.” :hello2: So out to the front yard we go. Since the speakers on my old Discovery 1000 crapped out, he felt bad and wanted me to have a better detector. I don’t like the Garrett he has and was just going to use the headphones with the Discovery, but he insisted on a better detector for me. So he was showing me all of the buttons and features (I’m all about having the least amount of buttons as possible and prefer simple things, so I was a bit intimidated) and we started swinging in the front yard. Hmm...constant 92 in this spot...lets dig it! Then I was like, nah, I need to get back in and finish my work. Sitting in the couch trying to do a medical contract, that 92 was haunting me. ADD kicked in again. Around 8:30...hubby says, ”hey, let’s go dig the front yard!” Out I went! Hit the 92 spot and up came a quarter and pennies! Ooo I like this! “Just one more spot, it’s starting to drizzle”...other quarter! Ok ok I have to go work....about 9:30....”hey, rain stopped...wanna go dig again?” Another quarter and a few more lawn mower victim pennies! LOL Nothing old or special but I do believe I’m going to enjoy my new toy! And luckily, I got to a point with the contract to where I can’t finish it without making some calls from the office anyways lol Hoping for some awesome finds tomorrow since TODAY is really finally Friday! Been a long week lol

Very very nice finds. I’m looking to getting me one of those new toys coming up. Once I get my check in I’ve already made my mind up that I’m getting one. So far everything I’ve seen I really like.
 

Man I hate winter, 45 minutes tops before it gets dark after work. Been out twice in the last week with a flashlight, but it just takes too long and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave things like I found them.

I like it so far. Big test will be hunting all day this weekend. The MP joint on my right index finger is pretty messed up from using a 10 key at work for so many years. I'm extremely overdue for a shot in it. Its been bothering me again since Thanksgiving and I've been putting off the shot b/c I don't want to be down for the weekend lol But this new detector is comfortable in my hand and I'm also able to swing it left handed pretty easily as I could with the Discovery. My husband's Garrett just doesn't have a comfortable grip and seems to put strain on my hand and shoulder. Not sure why :dontknow: And I'm pretty awkward swinging it left handed. So I'm pretty hopeful for this weekend!

Yea time change sucks. And summer here is too hot to dig. We really only get to go out on the weekends b/c we stay too crazy during the week. But I get off at 2:00 today and have to pick up my nephew from school. After I bring him home, I'm going to hit up a park to see what I can find lol It's a dreary, cloudy day so I'm hoping no one will be there.
 

Nice! You should consider using the headphones. I find I hear better (cuts out other noise) and supposedly helps the batteries last longer (cutting cost). Only over one ear though. One should always be uncovered.
 

Nice finds, and I enjoy your storytelling style. I'm interested to see how you feel about your new toy as you use it some more. I will be watching for more of your stories.

That's what we've heard too. I never used the headphones b/c I liked hearing everything around me. Even on my motorcycle before I put speakers on it, I'd ride with only one in so I could hear the cars around me and of course the exhaust on my bike :laughing7: When I head to the park in a bit I'll probably where them.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll have some good finds to post tomorrow! Fingers crossed for some CW relics, buttons, and old coins!
