Joe D. Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello all, A little primer first; as some of you may know, my Equinox is in "the shop", due to previously posted issues! No worries; using the old trusty At Pro! So between Covid, and the horrendous heat wave we are experiencing, i haven't been out much to detect! But many of you have been out, and posting! So i just had to suck it up, and get my butt out in it!! Summers here used to be a nice balmy Easterly breeze most every day! The last several years have been unusually hot and humid, with little to no breeze, and record temps! Dangerous conditions, if you don't hydrate well! So, i decided to hit a few local parks, that I've hunted previously, a year or two ago! And stick to the "shaded" areas to make it bearable! Yesterday i had the 5x8 stock coil on, and did about 3 hours, before it became unbearable! I was soaked, but did well enough for what i expected to find! Today was much the same, in a different park! With the 8x11 stock coil! This park has very large tree's, so the added depth helps here, due to very rich soil! My results; as you will see below; are fairly typical of my park area's! Oldest coin was a 1955 D nickel! Along with a few early 60's; and up to present day coins! Not exactly ideal finds, but goes with the age of the area's that are accessible here! And it keeps my skills up! I included some of the junk items in my "paper towel" displays for future reference! I'm looking forward (probably 6ish weeks) to getting the Equinox back, and get back to the beaches! 👍👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureHunter5 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Nice finds! Do you know what any of the “junk” finds are? Do you think their worth saving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yes, this junk is easy! Was just a reference, than in the trash! Something i started to do for my pic file! Nothing gets thrown away till identifed! Usually an EO (encrusted object) from the beach may take awhile to identify!👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D. Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 No!😞 I wish!! Only 2 silvers this year! Maybe this "Winter", when the sweat is not blinding me! 🤣 Even the "wheaties" have dried up!👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's a lot of clad and not much trash- congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Oh, there was more trash! The rest goes in the cans at the parks! "No trash, No treasure"!! Or for me, "Much trash, No treasure!" Must be my "Lucky" Irish side!!🤣 👍👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Valen Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I can now see the coin better, but in the first one it looked different from the other ones for sure. Sorry for getting your hopes up for a let down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
