Boy it was cold out today but I had to try and sneak in probably one of the last few days of detecting until spring, Off to a local park and the first location that we picked I found a few coins and after about 25 minutes it appeared as though a group of people had reserved that location so we had to move on.
At the next location my first target was a memorial penny and much to my surprise my second target turned up the oldest coin that I have ever found in this particular park system, a 1916 Merc. After digging a few wheats and some modern clad nearly 45 minutes later the ole 705 was barking at me on low battery. I was just about to leave that area and move on when suddenly I got a dime signal and ending up pulling up a 1944 merc and in the same hole was a wheat and a 1943 nickel. I was ready to move on but I need to hit that area again sometime.
We drove to a 3rd location and I put in some fresh batteries. My first target, a nickel signal and up comes a 14KT white gold wedding band! There were some initials inside along with a date. Needless to say if this ends up being the last time I get out for the year, I can't complain.
