... and here's the take:

1 pencil
1 bolt
1 jet airplane
1 steel ball
1 hoop earring
1 clover charm
2 quarters
1 Chevrolet trunk lid
63 pennies
1 fake red gem
1 broken piece of something
1 piece of wire
lots of foil

I imagine some poor kid was given a pocket full of pennies for lunch money, because most of them were all within a 10 ft square area. I hope he was still able to afford lunch! :roll:

I think I'm going to have to go see a chiropractor after all of that bending. Will $1.13 get me fixed? :p

Lol. I was at the local Jr. High, my back was aching and had about the same hall as you except about 10 X as many pencils.
 
I went back tonight for a couple of hours to practice with the 9x12 coil for the ACE 250. It's way too big for a trashy area, but I got to practice plenty of pinpointing with it. Pinpointing is much tougher than with the 6.5x9 coil.

I found $1.35; four quarters, three dimes and five pennies. I found a couple more pencils and plenty of foil also.

There were several targets that registered 8+ inches with the big coil, but I was not in the mood to do that much digging. The ground is way too compact in the area I was detecting. I hope I didn't miss something good! (Probably not at this location.)

worse than that is when you find them with old melted chocolate in them and you lick your fingers to get it off.:)

Yeah, foil sounds like nickels on my machine, too. I filled my pouch this morning with foil from 3 tot lots. The grounds keeper was happy, though.:lol:

RD :cool:
