Hello everyone, My wife and I are at the hotel getting ready to fly back to NYC. I wanted to share my fabulous results from yesterday's Nugget Noggin Live Metal Detecting Event 2024. There were 3 parts.. The first event was an hour hunt where we detect for tokens with a counterstamp number. I started a bit late because someone had mistakenly closed the gate to the entrance of the park so 3 other participants and myself couldn't get in on time. I did find 1 token about 2 minutes after I started! My prize was a display case with 6 old silver Canadian coins.. In the second event it was a Half Dollar hunt. There were also tokens and others coins mixed in such as Walking Halves and Silver Kennedy Halves. I didn't find anything to win a prize but got me a handful of modern Halves.. So the third event which is the silver hunt I did very good. I found 4 tokens and detected 34 different silver coins.. First prize - Brunt Boots Second prize - 9 Barber Dimes in display case Third Prize - Excalibur Detecting Shovel Forth Prize - Garrett Apex Metal Detector (2nd time I won an Apex) with Garret wireless headphones I had a fabulous time even though it rained a few times which delayed the event schedule. I didn't get a picture with Michael Bennett aka Nugget Noggin but I did take one with another famous YouTuber Discovery Daisy.. Picture of my wins at the event..
Congrats on the 'wins' Mr. Ed. You sure as heck know how to 'detect'. [aside] Did the wife see that picture of you with the pretty young lass? (devil)
Congratulations on your wins due no doubt to your consummate skills as a highly competent detecting expert.
Are they going to let you on the plane with all that loot? You did great and I’m sure your wife and you had a wonderful time, despite the rain. Congratulations!
