That looks right geof !

A counterfeit clad quarter , a very rare find ! Possibly a forum first ? I give it two thumbs up !👍👍 Your detective work gets three 👍👍👍

I nominate Gold Seeker as our go to expert on personal hygiene items !👍 I didn't have a clue.....😳

The white stuff is almost gone here. Raining as I type. I've had thawed ground here for a couple of weeks. So far 48 cents and a sterling pendant ~1 gram and a lot of junk with an 800.

👍 It's a ring ! Broken or not. Nice batch of finds . And a half dollar that had your name on it . That was a good day .

Nice 925 WTG !

Well , that's a familiar sight ! 🥸 👍

Sorry for the late response., just saw your reply,. Had a mercury 50 on a 16' Boston Whaler to fish out of till a few years ago. The different merc reference was about dimes .. Live long and prospect....🖖

Welcome to the forums . You chose wisely. Nice ring. That Xterra is treating you well....

Welcome aboard. So....did you find anything GOOD ?😜 It doesn't really matter but my keyboard hasn't been drooled on yet today.........

Allllllll aboooooooooaaaard ! Welcome aboard the crazy train Slad. Good luck with that 700.

Mighty spiffy gold beach bling ! And silver too . WTG !

Welcome aboard to the posting side of the forums autopilot42 ! Good to see you come in from the lurking side. I promise nobody will bite. Well except Gerry , on a big hunk o yellah.😉

Welcome aboard Hobbs ! Make yourself at home .🤠

I thought looking for sun bakers is considered legitimate detecting ?🧐 So how many did you find and it didn't happen if you can't post pics...😜

After reading the reviews here a Park Probe made it to popeye's most wanted list👍 Currently using a brad puller , a larger version used on automotive interiors , a big straight slot screwdriver , and the hori to cut "surgical"slots. An all plastic trowel . and a larger metal bladed one . The small garden spade and the small T-REX. But not all at the same time !😄 Usually just carry the plastic trowel pinpointer, auto tool and the hori. T-REX , the plastic trowel and pinpointer at a beach. Barracuda sounds dangerous like the song. I also carry a heavy 8?mil square yard of plastic in my back pocket to flop the plug on the edge and then put the dirt from the hole and just fold it and pour the dirt back in the hole before stomping the plug flap home. If needed I also have a bag of grass clippings (the grass is all dead now and they are raked up here so a perfect match ! 👁️‍🗨️ ) I'm using to camo what if any evidence of my digging remains ., I usually just use whatever is already on the ground in the immediate area .If the plug is dry I use my hydration pack to moisten .. (It happens faster than I just took to type it though.) I look up as I demonstrate to landowners and lots of times they are standing there with their mouth open😍.. arrrrrrrrrrrr ,got 'em 'ooked I did ! " I'll treat it as if I was you, if you see me doing something you don't like tell me and I'll do it differently.".... But like I said ,,,,they have livestock on this patch of grass I'm on right now 🤪 not too worried. Cold and windy today , and I wimped out . Found a new digging tool bag at Goodwill $5 and loaded 'er up plus found a container for my silver.and some little spray bottles for foo water there too. Only 34 with 25kt wind today but there is less sno* tonight ! .

Fer sure ! I will be doing that but probably head back to the SW in the next few years . Think I might have lizard blood , the cold kills me more every year.🙄

Yes the junk ratio was quite surprising 🤔 This area is much more productive than the campsite I was on before snow (BS). They would probably be a bit unhappy if I dug everything that beeps here . But maybe not? the Fair week with the rides , booths and livestock can chew up a site pretty good especially if it rains... the permission came without hesitation. I did volunteer to turn over any fair related historical finds to the fair comittee. I'm parked next to the "pulling barn" till opening then off in a corner by the warm up track for the harness horses..I might actually find a 🍀horse shoe ! Then that 12# hoard ?😏 Mom has taken up most of my day so it is hard to find enough of a length of time to go somewhere to detect, Now I live surrounded by my hunt site .,,,also like you !👍 I don't think the Fair is that old (maybe 40s ? ) but who knows what was here before ?? I have a hand drawn bird's eye view map of the two towns I grew up in from 1877 and this place is way off in the distance but it looks like a clearing......the house in the next town my grandmother had where I lived till halfway through high school.was historic register and ON that 1877 map but a lumber yard next door bought it and now it's a paved parking lot.! Looks like research time huh ? I've been out on the road for a long time.. Planning on talking to some of the older fair folks when they open it back up this summah , the town library is just around the corner from here too. (At least it WAS when I lived here during the 70s..) Who knows now. They call it 'gentrification" ,,, the old swimming hole up at the quarries is a retirement village now , "go away with that detector !"🚔 I'll try some early morning hunts now before mom ....still need to finish the restoration on my expedition RV . But I can do a lot of that here too. Just needed that weather to warm up . It will snow again + 20 tonight and 30 tomorrow but 40s next week. probably not freeze the ground,, too much, mud season begins now too arrrrrrrrgh !🙄

Very nice set 🍀👍!

Well it HAD to happen ! And it's really 'not much"! Got in 9 holes this afternoon and no 350 not golf 😅 Temp made it to 50s ! Looking at lots of dead grass. Waited till 4pm. The shovel sunk all the way in when I jumped on it ! I walked around with the 800 and 6" coil , this place has so many targets , millions if I count the horseshoe stuff plus the threshold was blanking ~3times a second pretty much targets blanketing the ground ! So I picked a clear one and dug . I didn't have to move much for the 6 plugs . 3 were with the hori knife only. Park 1 recovery 6 sensitivity 18. 9 holes with only one target in each one. 2 pulltabs ,1 with tail , a racetrack pull too. 1 aluminum tarp grommet , a nail and a screw , a roached memorial, a rosie 1981D , AND a little teardrop shaped pendant with the word SISTER engraved into it , the back had a (wait for it) 925 ,,, 1st with the 800 my pocket scales are a rusted hunk of deadness . So weight ? , not much . I took pics with my tablet selfie cam, AND I told y'all I was photo challenged.Now we'll see if I can post em.

Ohhhhhh a puzzle maker huh ?😄 Have to change your handle to "alloy" if you put them together I guess...

I never put that together !🙄😄

Junk janitors unite ! If we form a union we might be able to negotiate for more/better junk. hmmmmmmm.....Wait ! Now accepting applications for the Gold Janitors of America Union....

Well , you've got something figured out without a doubt ! 👍 WTG !

Slow find days are important ! Need them to keep you humble.🤩 And the average score is quite high compared to mine , but I'm not alone . And last but not least , you're a great inspiration for all of us "junk janitors" of the hobby...👍
