Took Thanksgiving week off from work so I got to spend some quality time with the Xterra 705.
I hit some parks and schools and made the following finds.
The first photo is everything from Sunday through Friday. It was slow going, and for some reason, my readings were off on the Xterra, but I did find a 5 cent piece from the Bahamas, which was my coolest find.
Found my manual and on Saturday morning, I went back to the factory presets and then adjusted to the specs a friend had suggested I use.
After a couple of false starts, I found an abandoned playground and in four hours, I found 28 quarters, 25 dimes, and 24 pennies (most of which were dug early, while I was waiting to find some quarters).
I also found 2 keys and an Honor Society pin.
On Sunday, I decided to head out despite the drizzle.
On a lark, I stopped at an elementary school on the way to where I was going...I never did make it to my original destination.
I spent 4.5 hours in the mulch, searching the playground and found 61 quarters, 24 dimes, 20 nickels, and 17 pennies (most of which read 38/40 so I was hoping for dimes/wheaties).
I'm guessing I found a lot of lost milk money!!!
I also found a matchbox car and a necklace, that says 925.
For a girl, I know very little about jewelry, so I'll have to take it somewhere to have it looked at.
I'm now at 420 quarters since I started detecting in March.
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
