Mike's Big Coil

I laid in bed all Friday night and listened to the rain.  I figured Saturday would be washed out as far as metal detecting goes.  So I made plans to go see "The Hunger Games" with my daughters.  You can see one of their blogs about that here.  Anyway, I was still in bed Saturday morning when I got a text from Mike.  He had got his new coil in the mail and was anxious to get out and try it!

Mike's Big SEF Coil

I gave my Dad a call to tell him we were going metal detecting and I was on my way over to pick him up.  We met Mike at Orem City Park, and we all started off in oposite directions.  Turned out to be a beautiful morning.

I think the jury is still out on the big coil, but Mike with his big coil came away with a pile of clad, a silver ring, and 2 wheat pennies.  Not a bad haul.

Dad and I did not do quite as well.  I found the biggest chunk of lead ever.

He found a 1995 Sundance Film Festival dog tag.

My coolest find of the trip was an old token.   I can't explain why, but I love to find tokens.  One side reads:
