It's been slim pickings for me lately. Seems like someone else is beating me to the spots with a MD. So far in my infant stages of MDing I have not found any real jewelry but on the bright side I have found my first rings (Junk) but it's a start.
Anyways I decided to hit a freshwater beach to see if my luck turns around. Not much happening there either. A few dimes and nickels. As I was starting to get frustrated and starting to swing a little wild I decided to cut the trip short, no sense in getting overly frustrated right???
As I am walking back to the van I see a large black bump in the tall grass. I wander over there and find a brand new neoprene lifevest. Worth about 50 bucks at Walley world. Well I will take that badboy as it will be a perfect size for the wife...

It's all your's

Sometimes the stuff on top of the ground is better than digging down. I found an 1882 IH laying on top of a tree root..Way to eyeball.
 
When I start feeling frustrated I find myself not wanting to dig anymore, and if don't dig I don't find stuff so I just stop. Usually by the evening or the next day I am ready to go again.

Good job on the vest by the way.

You should not grieve.
See - I was digging today 6 hours and found only garbage.
No good coins.
But I know - tomorrow I'll find treasures.
You know, you find many good coins.
Look for - and find it.

Eyeball finds are not something to turn a nose up at! My last outting one park I was in had very few coins but as I was walking around the tennis court I found a really nice pair of new sunglasses! I figure at least $15 retail so I nabbed em! :lol::lol:
