Paid for the detecor this weekend

[Lowbatts]

Well, the new Chinese made GC1023 anyway. Kitchen Funding Committee just won't let me upgrade so I pulled the 62 dollar detector trigger last weekend. Got it Thursday. Spent better part of yesterday on and off hitting the local playgrounds, schoolyards, totlots trying it out to compare against my old totlot champ the 1235X.

The playground at Channing elementary school/graveyard gave up 18 bucks in quarters alone, few cents there and no bling. That playground is only one year old! Coolest thing was I let a grandpa use it with his grandkids and they want one. Told them to aim higher, but the rig does work. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,227038.0.html

Got in some graveyard digs also, but stuck to the CZ for that. Two silver-ish things and some gold-ish funerary item that may have been a scarab brooch, all in desparate shape. Ink well, old cast Hubley toy car (badly disassembled by lawnmower) casket hardware, strange looking bones, etc.. No oldies today.

Other playgrounds of note were Sheridan, lots of winter milk money deposits there also, Garfield the same. Park playgrounds had less than expected but I've been to them this year already. Spent a couple hours digging clad at a sledding hill at an accelerated rate also, lots of big spenders on that hill, multi-coin!

Total take was just over 50 bucks, almost what the new toy cost. Hate diging clad, but sometimes like today the ground was easy and the digs were plentiful.

Save the clad to offset for a new detector, and or, sell a bunch of stuff on ebay and bam... the money is there...

"No kitchen fund committee needed "

IT'S ALL "YOUR" MONEY

Whoa, that's a lot of clad man! Let's see a picture of that pile of loot if you get a chance.

Whoa. . . that's more clad than I found all of last year.
I guess ya got to do what ya got to do to "git 'r done"

Happy Easter to you & family

There's nothing wrong with digging clad, especially if it's fifty dollars worth, and mostly larger denomination coinage! Come summer time, on days where I don't feel like getting wet, that's pretty much all I'll be digging, seeing as the woods will be too extreme. I still have to practice listening for good targets under the relatively shallow trash, not easy with the M6. Maybe, by doing that, I can get my silver Rosey.

So tell me about these graveyard digs you've got going on. Funerary items? What did I tell you about your graveyard exploits, man? I'm hoping your detector doesn't go six feet deep, lol.

Take care buddy,

Joe

Hey Brett, picture a pile of clad, some of it dirty! Your pics beat it any day!

I'd trade you in CJ toys Mark, I usually dig several hundreds of dollars of clad a year. And 50+ dollar days are no stranger during carnie/fest season.

But Bob, you don't know my kitchen funding committee, she is an evil clad-sucking parasite who demands tribute. That's why I love her!

Hey Joe the old, former graveyard that is now a park in town. Where I got nice pile of IH's over the last year and a half including last year's 1866, my oldest IH, some V's, a shield, seated, barber and mercs have been no stranger there also but this weekend was clad but then again I can't see half of the coins I dig until I clean 'em up at the end of the year so who knows? Since some of the bodies they removed from there were first buried in yet an earlier, nearby "burying ground" who knows what else fell out of the old pine boxes. It was in business from the 1840's to the 1940's.

I believe I showed the place to DP Bob and Mark. Since they completed the jogging path and the dirt's settled there's those pesky lawn spikes to deal with.

Way to go Tim,

That's an awful lot of digging, but that's what we go out for. Sure beats digging pulltabs and screw caps.
That place will keep you busy for a long time.

Pretty weird looking and at times creepy ( where the cement in the ground is )
Tim, That was when Pat (skinny puppy) Jim L. ( Friend) and I were out that way.
I spend a lot of time there myself if I lived out that way too

Give her the "LOVE" but not the "CLAD "

 

[Lowbatts]

Yep Bob, sorry Pup and Jim, you guys haven't been around enough lately.

But it's not creepy at all despite the legends and the screaming, running maintenance folk at the school.

That was about 10 years ago, it was gold, with a tiger's eye stone in it. Coffin nails were in the mix as well. The few bones associated with it, the one in it, may or may not have belonged to the owner. There are dead bird, squirrel and rabbit remains throughout. Apparently appetites range within the available limits there.

Whew! Glad to hear you didn't pull a 50oz. 18k Rapper chain out of that playground,.. I'd be crying for sure. Brett and I walked right past it when we had stopped at Channing last week. Nice quarter count though.

Great post, Tim!

I wish I could pay for my other detectors with clad....

Maybe by 2020.

Sounds like the old graveyard is a good spot!

 

[treasurefiend]
