Online Search Helped This Round... Clad Coins and More!

Did a search online and found some new places to try coin shooting.  Decided to checkout two that were close by.  First playground looked promising but only turned up a bolt.

Went down the road to the next place - a school yard with wooden swing sets and jungle gyms.  Been a while since detecting one of these areas... sure do miss them!

Found a number of clad coins, a medallion, and a ring (non-silver).  Fun stuff... glad the online search worked!

Google "Earthing"...

Decided to do some searching online for some hidden areas to coin shoot.  Found several public parks that look promising.  Also, the online search helped recall a couple of schoolyards that wer forgotten... May need to sneak out for a quick trip.  One is close by!

No Rings or Charms this Round; Several Clad Coins Though!

Another try at coin shooting last night.  Tried two playgrounds.  Was a tough go with a penny and dime at the first playground, and then three pennies at the second playground.  Brought a flashlight this time so it helped with finding coins after dark.  But, can hardly wait for the Garrett Pro-Pointer to arrive... should make pinpointing coins much easier, especially at night!

Garrett Pro-Pointer On Order!

While out this past weekend, met another Detectorist.  Said howdy and talked briefly about Metal Detecting. One thing in particular was the pinpointer he was using.  He had a Garrett Pro-Pointer on a holster.  Sure could have used one last night when I was searching a playground in the dark!  Decided to get one and placed an order for one.  Should deliver next week; cannot wait to try it out!

Evening Coin Shoot This Round... Gets a Silver Charm!

Decided to go for an evening coin shoot this Sunday.  Finding the James Avery silver ring by the volleyball courts this morning was great! Might as well see what Lady Luck has to offer and try again in the cool of the evening.

Tried a school playground that was newly mulched.  Should have taken it as a sign and moved on.  But, went ahead and did a search.  Found no coins; only a pencil.

Was on the way back home and remembered another school playground that was on the way.  On a whim, made a turn in to the parking lot and headed to the playground.

Good thing... found a number of clad coins and another silver find - a James Avery silver charm!  Also, found a $1.00 coin.  Fun stuff!

Coin Shooting in the Sand... Gets a Silver Ring!

Did some coin shooting in the sand this morning.  Was not the beach; volleyball courts instead. Did not have a sand scoop.  So with a material laying around in the garage and some duct tape, made a "sand scoop" that worked well.

Area had very little trash and only yielded a few clad coins; however, did get a silver ring!  Also, found two horseshoes and a hotwheel.  Fun stuff!
