Friday evening, Dad and I, skipped the family dinner and went metal detecting. I choose Lion's park for our outing. We have hunted it numerous times and it is becoming more difficult to find good target, especially for Dad, since his metal detector will not detect deeper than about 5 inches. Of course Dad doesn't was to go that deep anyway. He prefers his targets to be within the top 3 inches. On the other hand, I prefer to find deep targets because they are generally older. However, I have dug up zinc pennies 7 inches deep, they are everywhere.
Well, for this out I set a goal to at least find 1 wheat penny. It was funny because the very first good target I found was a wheat penny. The next good target was a silver CTR ring.
I think I may have a hard time talking Dad into going back to Lion's Park again. Besides the normal garbage, he only found 1 quarter, 9 zinc pennies, and one dime. He did have an audience for a while. I guess he looks like a friendly old grandpa. They didn't bother me. :)
The rest of the targets where modern clad coins and some other little junk pieces.
