I got out for a few hours myself today. Came back with 26 coins (2-qtr,9-dimes,1-nickel,14-pennies) a silver ring, some scrap copper and a cigar store coin that says value 50 cents.
The funny part was as I was detecting a small pull off near a lake the husband got out and went to fishing. Grandma and the grandson wanted to know if I "Ever find anything?" as I was combing a small chuck that Id got a hit in. Out popped the silver ring. I said "why yes ma`am as you can see here this is a silver ring" I let them look at it as I filled the hole back neatly.
She gave me the ring back and asked quite a few questions about detecting which I answered (although I was in a quandry). I wanted to be polite but my batteries had died and I needed to get back to the auto for fresh batteries and that was a few hundred yards away. Finally I excused myself and swapped the batteries out.
Kept detecting until the geese started bombing in and I sat back and watched them. Finally packed it in and gave everything a rinse. Hope some of you got out this weekend.
