Metal Detecting Tot Lots | Quick Trip Before It Snows!
Snow in the forecast, but was able to hunt a couple of city park playgrounds before it snowed. Found a few clad coins and a pendant looking thing. Not sure if it is real, but it was still a good one to find from a "feel good" standpoint!
Has a small coin spill of two dimes and a penny that was cool; good thing I "sweep" the area clear before moving on to the next one!
Finds this round:
- 7 pennies
 - 3 dimes
 - 1 quarters
 - 1 Pendant

Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds Live Stream | Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Been slight delays in 2020 in finding a coin or two with the old 1225X Fisher Metal Detector. Covid put a damper on the local tot lots I like to hunt. But, was able to get out enough to find a coin or two or more! Here is a summary of some of the more notable finds in 2020! Hope to keep on detecting into 2021!
