Looks good to me. I have fun just finding clad and getting some exercise. Any silver is always a treat.

Nice start. For myself, finding the silvers is all about location. The obvious public areas are picked clean of silver. Still tons of clad and some jewelry... but the silver has been gone for 20 years. Don't under estimate just how cleaned out an area can be.
When I get creative, do some homework... and maybe some hiking. That's where I find the silver.

My 1st real find!
Well its been a few months since my 1st post. I have gone out a few times but on Friday I MD'd a local park here in Bakersfield. At 1st found the usual coin but a lot of quarters. Then I found a mickey mouse charm and an old kids ring. A little later I found a ring with a diamond in it (fake) It did make my heart jump when I 1st found it! I went back to the park today and started finding coin. Then I found a diamond and silver ear ring stud! That was cool. Then a little later found my 1st real ring! And then I found a second gold ring with diamond enlay. Towards the end of my search I found a Navy Sea Bee coin. I've tried researching it online but havent found anything yet. Any suggestings would be appreciated. And just for giggles I have included a pic of all of my finds to date. Thanks for all of the words of encouragement you guys gave me!

Seabees Can Do!! 
That is a "Battalion Coin" from MCB 3. Not sure if issued to members of the battalion or something that could be purchased at the PX. Very cool find in my book!
