Wow @paddyman98 you must work at some type of amusement park or somewhere along those lines. All your finds look a lot like what I find on a regular basis, just not the quantity of what you find. Lots of drunk and h*gh people tripping and falling down or digging in their pockets at night lead to a lot of coins and personal items being dropped here at the dragstrip. Great finds you have.
Frozen tundra. Maybe broke even on the gas. 4 shots at a W mint mark which would have saved the hunt. DENIED!
1st hunt of the year. Dollar coin and silver. I thought the gold was real as I got a good signal and I saw a stamp, must be plated over copper. Some of my good spots were light, either because it's winter or someone beat me to it. I did see signs of digging at one spot. The silver is sterling, that's just the light.
Nothing going on so I hit some scroungy spots. I needed 1 nickel for a milestone and almost didn't get it.
These days it's illegal to metal detect on a Civil War battlefield. Up until the 1960s it was legal. Bruce
