Treasure Hunting

[Latimeria]

Phase 4 of the morning was to use the present my wife got me for Christmas.  I've said to her in the past that I'd probably love land fishing with a metal detector, but I wasn't expecting one for X-mas.

I thanked my wife on Christmas morning and she followed with... "Since you don't buy me jewelry, maybe you could find me some".  HA!  I can't argue with that logic.  LOL

I headed down to the shoreline and decided to just do a quick scan of the area.  I wanted to dial in the sensitivity and see if the "Metal Type" detected symbol worked.

Well it wasn't long before the screws started showing up.  A lot more than I expected.



I turned off the iron alarm and now it should not beep for pallet screws or nails.  I saw it said aluminum and went digging on the next beep.

Well, they were right...



I found another and kept moving down the beach.  Then I saw a hit that told me it was a penny!  Low and behold it was a penny!  Then another penny!  Then a dime!  LOL



I put it all in a bag to give to my honey when I got home.  I told her I found you something and she actually got a laugh.  One of the pennies was 1971, so at least I have a number for my oldest coin found by metal detector so far.  hahaha, well maybe some new stuff will be coming on the horizon.

Those Metal Detectors have come a long way and the thrill of hunt always keeps things exciting.

Mission Bay might be a Treasure Trove after a big weekend

Good luck

That's fun, hope it pays itself off!

Well, my wife is hoping it pays off.  LOL
