Been awhile since I've posted . Once the snow came off & the ground thawed I've been hitting my property & the woods again . After 5 months of nothing but parks this has been great . I bought a new Tesoro Outlaw at the end of summer & initially did not like the 9x12 Widescan coil . But I started using it this Spring & that thing is awesome once you learn it . 
So here's some finds from my property that I missed last year !
March & April finds .
Tiny little cast .44 Magnum
This nickel has easily been in the ground 100+ years . The detail is amazing . Don't know how many times I swung over it last year & missed it !
The Caddy emblem is maybe 2" around . Any idea what year the Chevy emblem is from ?
Again I just found the Tootsietoy & 1941S wheat where I've detected at least a 1/2 dozen times . That Widescan sucked them right out !
The car was a good 6+" down .
I found the watch back & trims plus what I think is a suspender clip at my neighbors . The watch appears to be stainless , says "Ladonne" inside .
Now the GOOD stuff !
Today my wife & I hit a USFS campground WAY back in the mountains . The first 2 or so hours were pretty poor ... .32 in clad & lots of trash . Stopped for lunch , moved down the road a bit to some more camp sites , these were more for tent camping .. oh yes ! Right off a few cents then nailed this baby :
Says " SS925 " & in a square : JJJ . Weighs 2.0 grams .
Hit some more clad ... BIG area ... moved across a meadow randomly swinging & hit this :
It was down in the weeds a few inches & I found the belt loop about 10 ft. away . I was jumpin' !
Both pieces weigh 26.2 grams .
Got real serious swinging that area & again about 10 or so feet away I found this pretty much on the surface . Still like new .
So what a day ! Also found $1.00 ( 17 coins ) in clad .
