Way to go DiveHunter I only got out for about a half hour after work using a flash light. At least I didn't get skunked, got one clad dime I will post when i find some more. Took me awhile to figure out my headphones were turned all the way down started to wonder if my detector was broke :lol:. I haven't used the headphones much since i got it.
 
Had a Good Long Day of Hunting today. Started at the beach where I got the clad, Junk Ring, Gold Cross Marked 10K With 16 Tiny Diamonds, and the tiny silver charm marked .800 silver..Then I went to the old school that I have been hunting for the past 2 years and got 5 wheats, and 1 merc..A good day @ 95 Points...

thats the correct score system minus the charms...i removed them from the list to keep the peace..lots of controversy with em. next year we will be more organized with our scoring...i promise. gotta remember we are new to this whole detecting contest idea.
 
I fixed the scoring system and took out the charms. Went out today for few hours. Found quite a bit while my son played on the equipment at the tot lot. The BBs in the pic are what he collected from the ground.:tumble: I was using the sniper coil for the 250 and seemed to be able to find alot more than i have been with the stock coil. Everything was from the hunt this morning except one penny and a dime from my last two hunts. If I'm calculating correct I think I have 5 whole points and a lot of trash.:lol: I also found that key chain charm thing too not sure what its for.

I Found my first Ring!

I Found My first ring. I went to a park near my house after work today there were people on the tot lot so I decided to detect near the park benches and along the path that winds around the park. I found the coins near the benches and as i was walking to the next bench I got a solid hit between a penny and dime. I stuck my digger in and lifted up a little flap and was feeling around. It's pretty good feeling when your finger goes through your target. Turns out its only copper that was coated at one time to look silver but still my first ring/jewelry so still cool. On the way out of the park i hit a pocket spill of 2 quarters and two nickels. So overall a good hunt for me. I was at it for almost 2 hours. If my calculations are correct I nabbed 15 and 1/4 points tonight.
