My wife let me out on Saturday morning for my first decent detecting trip since "spring" has arrived. To this point I had only made it out for an hour or so at a time, and found $1-$2 worth of clad each time.
I woke up early and headed straight for a spot in the city that I had found my first gold item at a few months ago. I figured the gangsters and thugs aren't too active at 7am on a Saturday in March. I found 104 coins total, and two junk trinkets ("Mia" and a pink rhino). I also found a curious plastic foot in heels. On my way back to the car I dug one last signal about 5 feet from the parking lot. About 1'' below the surface was and 1889 IH! My second one, and I didn't scratch it this time. Seems these things only turn up when I don't expect it. I can't get the IH to scan very well - It has sharp details (not very worn) but the surface is a nasty green and brown mottled color.
After this spot, I swung by my favorite school to detect in the suburbs. I found another 68 coins, including a French Euro. I also found the Clarkstown Sports club pin.
My last stop for the day was another school. I dug up another 33 coins. On my way back to my car I popped out a nice silver ring. It is marked "T&Co .925." It also seems that my best finds are always on my way back to the car.
Total in clad was $13.01 (not counting the Euro). All was found before noon. It was GREAT getting out for an extended period.
Thanks for looking!
