2017 was my first year MDing, and I had so much fun! Although I didn’t find anything very valuable (that I know of ), I found out very quickly that the most valuable part is having fun and enjoying the hunt. I love the thrill of not knowing what’s in the next plug, whether it’s clad, jewelry, relics, or even trash. I hunted mainly tot-lots, but also did 2 beaches, our own yard, and a 2 of my friends yards.
The first pic is the clad I found. The second pic is of my 1945 Wheat Penny (my first and only), plus my 1961 Canadian Nickel and my 1983 Canadian Penny. Next is a pic of some of the cool things I found. Going left to the right is a pair of sunglasses, a Hot-wheel, 4 bullet casings, and a bullet. Next row has a toy airplane, 2 earrings (or necklace charms), a Stephens Steel Guitar Slide, and a mushroomed slug. The last row is a toy fighter jet, toy train, key, fishing sinker, 7 buttons, 2 square nails, a fishing jig, 2 cow tags (), and an “Automotive Air Conditioner” tag.
The last pic is of what I thought was a toy car wheel and axle when I dug it. It was all crusted & super rusty. But after a 3 day soak in vinegar, it came out like that and now I think it could be a roller for a conveyor belt, because the wheel is on ball-bearings and the wheel end of the axle is different than the other end.
Also, I found around 525 pieces of trash! God Bless and Happy Hunting in 2018!
