Well, one month of real fun! Not quite the expert yet, but learnin' and havin' fun! (first pix post so don't know if they turn out, yet)
Mostly swinging in new parks, post-50's, and schools. 20 quarters, 12 dimes, 15 nickels, 5 wheats, 25 pre-83 pennies, 61 zinc pennies, 1 '41 nickel, my first foreign coins: $1 and 10c, plus 2.5 gazillion pull tabs! Also bought my first digital camera -- don't get excited, not expensive, but you get the picture (hee, hee). Seems it was time, all the pix we took in Maui this month were blurry -- to bad we didn't get it before we left...

Close-up is of (l to r from top): heavy, hard metal blob (indicated on silver, high tone); possible natural lead (real heavy and can't bend, crazy tones/indicators -- 6" deep), got alot of these in Hawaii; sample of several costume (junk) jewelery (Class of 2002); aluminum button (?); penny with 2 (apparent) .22 bullet indentations, didn't go through; womens, or mans, necklace safety whistle; and a 9mm bullet with slice, found in Veterans' Memorial Park in Sierra Vista, AZ. I won't show all the junk, but will (if these posts work) post interesting finds. Also found (not shown) was a thin metal "dog tag" with W.W.J.D. nearly scratched off -- that one gave me a Spiritual lift!

No rings or good jewelery yet, but that's coming. Thanks for everyone's help and advice.
Take care, and God Bless!
