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.

Today's finds:
  • 2 Quarters
  • 3 Dimes
  • 11 Pennies
  • A Button and a Zipper.

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!
  • 2 Quarters
  • 3 Dimes
  • 2 Nickels
  • 10 Pennies
Other finds included an old key.
