From time to time I find coins on top of the ground as I am sure you all have too... even more rare is finding an older coin on top of the ground... well I did just that tonight... I got a quarter signal ad 0 inches!!! at first I thought it was a can but the signal was so clean so I looked down and I said... naa that can't be on top of the ground... nooooo that can't be a quarter... well I was wrong... just bend over and pick it up!

Every time I find a keeper like this I wonder how long its been sitting there like that!

Tell us of your "on top of the ground" finds too! I am very interested in knowing your story too!

Just the other day I was hunting in a park for about 2 hours with nothing really of choice value. However, right in front of my truck about 8 inches away from pavement was a penny, green with oxidation. I leaned over and picked up a 1915 wheatie. To make things even more odd, the very next day I found 2 1915 Lincolns in that same park. Life can be pretty cool sometimes.

Oh I forgot TOOLS! I have found many tools on top of the ground... they are some of my best tools too!

Tools, yes! Does a circular saw blade stuck firmly into a tree trunk at about chest height count as "on top of the ground"? If so, found one. Nearly bumped into the saw blade on one of my first days metal detecting. Have no idea why someone shoved it into the tree trunk. I took it home. Later, detecting on same hillside, I dug an older hand saw and an older roofer's hachet-hammer. HH Andi
