Message:: [QUOTE="JoshuaP, post: 26174469, member: 114157"]I have been going out fairly regularly when the days are nice. I get tired of sitting at my desk studying, especially when the days are nice. For that reason, my wife, three children, and I go out to a large park where there are a few nice playgrounds for the children to play at. I have started going out and metal detecting in the large, grassy areas (away from the playground - too close is illegal it seems in Chicago). The park I am at was established in 1869, but I have yet to find any silver (I have never actually found a silver coin ever at this point). Yesterday and today I had two firsts. Yesterday I found a Sacagawea and this evening I found a 1923 Buffalo nickel. I also included a picture of my most interesting junk finds: the special Olympic medal (not silver) and the watch. I find so many bottle caps and pull tabs, it's not even funny. I once heard that you'll find a ring for every 100 pull tabs found. I am way overdue, if that is true! The oldest coin I have dug up there so far is a 1918 wheat cent on my first day there (not pictured). In case you wonder, I am using a Nokta Legend (a vast upgrade from my Ace 250).[ATTACH=full]1670805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670809[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1670810[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
