Default I found my first cache!
I was searching my friends back garden, when I came across my first cache! It is only a couple of fairly modern European coins, but a cache nonetheless. I was only in the garden for about 5 minutes when my Ace 250 started making some erratic sounds, I decided to dig and after only 2” or so I saw a flash of gold! For a moment I thought I had found treasure! It was only when I saw a plastic dolphin sticking out of the dirt next to the coins , that I realised they couldn’t be very old. The cache comprised of 17, mainly French coins. Even though the coins are not valuable, I had a fun time looking for them and digging them up. In the end isn’t that all that matters?

17 coins in one hole! I am sure that was exciting to keep pulling them out.
