    Surface Find -- No Detector Needed

    I parked the car. My wife and I were walking across the parking lot into the local market. Looking at the ground, I spotted a $100 bill. It was folded in half. I gave it to my wife. She took it to the store's manager and asked him if anyone had reported losing some money in the parking...

    Oilfield Trash Pin

    This one was about 3 inches down in a vacant lot in a well traveled area. It came in the Target ID mid 60's range on the Teknetics Omega. It's a pin, about an inch wide. Even though it says "Trash", I'll keep it. Cheers, Joe

    A Wheatie and a Watcher

    Out with the Garrett GTI2500 today on the Jacksonville curb strips ... Got a nice "penny" signal and dug up a nice 1947S Wheatie. Sitting on the ground next to the hole was this little guy, watching me. He didn't try to hop away, but just kept looking. A good day, all around. Cheers, Joe

    Curb Strip Junk

    I'll keep the two quarters and two pennies. The other stuff is part of a man's watch, a faucet, and a piece of trim from a Mercedes-Benz "GL" auto. (I thought things weren't supposed to fall off expensive cars.) It's going to recycling. Cheers, Joe

    Did a Good Deed (I hope)

    On a Spring day in Jacksonville, Florida, swinging the coil with the Garrett GTI2500, on some curb strips. Got a signal and image of a target under some leaves. Up came a set of car keys. Some poor guy lost his keys to his car. He must have spent a lot of time looking for them. What to do...

    Out on the Curb Strips Again

    Nothing fancy ... can't complain. It was a good day, fresh air and sunshine, swinging the coil. All finds on a couple of curb strips, with the Garrett GTI-2500. The VW emblem was a surface find (I could stick it on my Ford). Question: Why would anyone paint a Lincoln cent with white...
