Exciting day today. Jennifer and Brady are out of town and I finished up my chore list early. It was a beautiful day out so I loaded up the detector and the dog and headed out. I didn't have a real destination in mind so I just kind of wandered around the neighborhoods near my house. One of the things I've noticed about myself lately is that when I'm driving around now I'm constantly noticing places and thinking "I should hunt that".
It didn't take me long to find my first hunting spot. A totlot about a mile from my house that I hadn't ever noticed before. This lot had SO many signals. I ended up finding 74 cents (14 cents, 2 nickels, 5 dimes).
This totlot wasn't in the best area of town. I started searching early enough that most of the neighborhood probably wasn't out of bed but after a while I noticed more activity so even though there were still lots of signals still to check, I packed my the things up, got the dog, and headed to the truck.
i was happy enough with my haul for the day but decided I didn't have to be quite done. So on my way home I didn't drive back the exact same way.
Sure enough, I noticed another totlot on the drive home so I pulled in to the parking lot, grabbed my stuff and started searching. One of the things I noticed about this lot is that half of it had a layer of new mulch. I decided to leave the new mulch layer alone as it looked to be about 6" thick. This lot didn't have as many signals as the first lot but it was still a great little hunt. I didn't spend more than 30 minutes searching but was able to find $1.42 and a game token. This was my first token to ever find. I also found my first dollar coin. 2 firsts in one hunt! I was excited!
I'd post pics but Jennifer took the cameraith her.
