Gold Find Today!

Went to a local park for a few minutes today before Survivor came on and found a nice little gold necklace and some modern coins. Its fun finding stuff! Also some pics of the faux book I keep my neater finds in. Hundreds of modern coins worth only face value are kept seperate in a little mini treasure chest box.

Its getting a little chilly!!!

Getting some last few Fall weather activities in before the cold is here to stay. Have been taking the motorbike out a few times a week and metal detecting regularly with a friend. Some of the good finds lately have been a 14k Jesus Fish ring, antique sterling pillbox, and a 1939 wheat penny.

AMAZING FIND!!! 1883 Indian Head Cent

I am going to try and keep this blog alive!

I have various things changing in my life at the moment, so I decided this should be another one of them. It will be littered with various thoughts, things I find interesting online, and pictures related to my new hobby, metal detecting.

I have always wanted a metal detector since I was a little boy, and recently my interest spiked again when I saw and talked with a man in a park about it. I looked online, and found a quality used machine for sale locally on craigslist for about half what it costs new. A White's Prizm IV.

The guy I bought it from turned out to be a real nice guy, and took me out hunting my first day to show me the ropes. Best find this week was a 14k, 6.4 gram gold ring. I also found a Lunch token from a local resturant here in Plain City that was dated circa 1935-1943 through the local historical society. Turned out to be a great time, and I will share a few of the neat things I found this week. Many other toys, trinkets, coins, and a lot of fun. The man I bought my MD from, Allen, said he wanted his MD back after I found the ring!! :) :) (He currently has an upgraded machine costing about 3x as much as mine) He said I'm off to a fantastic start!!!
