Dry few Months

Boy, these past few months have been dry for good finds, I guess the theme should be "picking clad."

At least I can afford the batteries !!!

Been a while

A couple of items I have picked over the past couple of weeks.

Been a while since I have been out

Nothing to exciting, got out and about for a couple of hours today. Finds included a 1962-D Roosevelt and a 1940 something wheatie.

Donaters are back at the lake as I am finding fresh change laying on top of the ground !!!

Imitation Jewelry

Thought we had a good one here, even though it is marked "Italy 14k" it was only gold plated at best.

Passing Time Picking Clad

Pocket Dumps

Couple of Pocket dumps today

Who needs a metal detector

Amazing what one can find on top of the ground if they just take the time.

I found a prayer today

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

Out with the Boys

Uneventful Day

Got out to swing the xt70 for a while this weekend, nothing exciting, just some clad for batteries. Enjoy the photos...........

Total clad: 8 pennies, 2 nickels, 9 dimes, 2 quarters $1.58

Treasure Hunting Website

Not sure if I have mentioned this site in the past, but it is definitely worth reading, some well written articles / ideas for us enthusiast !!!

XT70 and a silver quarter

Got out with the XT70 today, the more I use this machine the more impressed I become, the target separation is extremely good.

The quarter, a 1946-D, was found between to pull tabs, the bent penny, a wheat penny, was found next to an iron target.

xterra70 and a gold ring ?

Out for 4 hours today, playing with the xterra70 I got from Chuck at Treasure Hut.

I am still on a huge learning curve. Today I was concentrating on solid repeatable signals and pinpointing.

Pull tabs were hitting a solid 18 on TID, however, this ring also hit a solid 18, the main difference between the two is the pull tabs had a bouncing TID in the pinpoint mode, the ring was varying very little.

The ring is unmarked and feels a bit light, so my guess is gold plated.

Xterra70

Out with the xterra70 I purchased from Chuck at Treasure Hut.

No exciting finds, a few coins and lots of trash, still on a learning curve here, but at least the park is a cleaner place today.

So here are some photos of me and the dogs.

925 SIlver with the Ace250

Out and about at the lake park today. Truck thermometer was reading a steady 79.

Pretty uneventful day, I almost did not dig the ring as it was a broken signal, almost like I had found another aluminum screw top.
