DAY 1
I took another trip back to the school. I worked another grid section of the field I have been finding the civil war bullets in and swung away. I spent 5 hours with the CZ21 and found 51 coins with a face value of $3.02 (better number and value than I have been finding lately), a zipper pull type object marked TAPOUT, a Coca Cola game tab, a 1956 D wheatie and the usual assortment of junk. Decent money, but nothing special. When I first started detecting I judged my hunts by the number of coins found. My goal was to find at least 10 coins an hour. This hunt meets the old standard but does not measure up to what I m looking for now after 21 years of detecting.
DAY 2
Back to the school again and again nothing special. In 5 hours of gridding I found 20 coins with a face value of $1.02, a small chunk of possible camp lead, an old bullet, a tiny knife charm, an ace bandage clip folded in half, a Pepsi game tab, a piece of a zipper, an old football spike, a clock gear, some kind of cheapie connector and the usual assortment of wire, foil, slaw and tabs. An interesting hunt with lots of insects to keep me company (see NATURE below) but disappointing because the school usually has something interesting for me but not this trip.
DAY 3
Another trip to the scout camp working the Cub Scout part of camp. The CZ21 and I managed to clean up another campsite in 6 hours of swingin. I found 165 coins with a face value of $17.27, only 13 camp tent pegs, a rusty but still working pair of pliers, 4 rope tensioners, a Baden Powell squashed penny, a camp hat pin, a Canadian quarter, a NO CASH VALUE eagle token, 5 Webelos neckerchief slides, a hat pin back, the smallest hammer head I have ever seen, a Sacagawea dollar coin, dishing sinkers, the metal part of a space derby award ribbon, a little foil, tabs and a some AA and AAA batteries.
Not many pegs this time. I did this site not all that long ago, but came back to do some spots outside my normal detecting area that were productive.
NATURE
The yellow jackets were everywhere, but the don’t stay still long enough to get a picture. However the grass hoppers and crickets are easy to spot and 1 little butterfly landed on one of the caps I use to mark my progress so I could get a nice picture of him. He looks a lot better with the wings open, but at rest his wings are always closed and only open when flying.
That’s all for this week at home. I leave for the beach tomorrow and will let you know how that goes when I get back. This beach usually produces a decent number of coins and miscellaneous, but not a lot of jewelry. Maybe I’ll get luck this time. Thanks for looking, stay safe, good luck and may your coil lead you to good things.
