Heck of a day.

Yesterday I was asked to look for a lost gold necklace. Thin gold and I went over the yard twice with different machines with no luck. Her yardman was supposed to cut the grass so I went back and used a third machine. Found a lock and 4 keys that somehow I missed yesterday. Also a bunch more junk.

I’m pretty sure the necklace is inside her house. She is too.

Then I headed to a permission I’ve been working in stages. 1930s house with a LOT of trash. I’ve been steadily working my way removing the shallow signals, mostly trash and gradually getting down to “the good stuff”!

I’ve worked about 3/4 of the yard and dug plenty of memorials and wheats. A ‘38 dime and a ‘42 quarter have come to the surface. I was very sure I had cleaned out the parts I had already worked but as I headed towards the unworked section, I was picking up nice sounding signals. Apparently all the heavy rains we’ve had recently was moving some targets around. The unworked section yielded a nice harvest of clad and 4 wheats, a ‘17,’42, ‘51 and ‘56.

I started working my way back and picked up a few more coins. At the base of a palm tree I got a very quick 93 on the ATP. I couldn’t get a repeat but something told me to dig. About 8 inches down was my first Franklin half, a ‘58.

It’s gorgeous.

Nice Franklin, Chip! But somethings wrong with the Green Bay packers key, it's got a red background ! LOL
 
That's a heck of a nice big hunk of silver! I still haven't come across one of those characters. Great finds though!

NICE! How does your pet bird like you being gone for hours?:lol:


He was wandering far away. I thought he was long gone but he came back right as I had given up. He’s sitting on my shoulder as I’m typing this.

May 12 I found a baby Cardinal and somehow managed to keep him alive. I released him 19 days ago but he keeps coming back. I think he’s going to be a pet.
