Coinshooting a New School Playground and a Neighborhood Park.
Went coinshooting this morning to try a new School's playground. Found a zipper and a Penny. Very bare, too new a school as of yet. Will have to try later as the year progresses.
Afterwards, tried an established neighborhood park that resulted in coins and a button! Not a bad outing this morning.

More coinshooting at another neighborhood park. Outing was productive with a mix of coins, costume jewelery, and buttons.
Big find today was a $1 Presidential Coin with John Adams on the face of the coin!

Coinshooting a Local Neighborhood Park!
Decided to start a weblog to document metal detecting finds from my Fisher 1225X Metal Detector. I bought the metal detector over 20 years ago from KellyCo, and it still works like it did back then!
Over the years, I managed to pay it off in JUST 10 years of recreational "on again, off again" metal detecting, not bad given the time I put into the hobby.
I had a lot of fun coinshooting beaches and parks but now a days I have been focusing on areas that offer ease of digging to ensure no damage to landscape.
Today's finds resulted in the "treasures" below!
