Today was such a beautiful day! I said I'm not going to the woods today. Well, sorta not. I went to a local lake that has been literally hammered to death since they started making detectors. I've found a number of Mercs, Rosies and Washington's there but there were still a couple of near lake islands of brush and trees that I hadn't ever done. They are well traveled areas and the place was full of Dad's with their kid's fishing and people kayaking. It was simply a wondrous sight! But the place is just foot by foot full of trash, so it wound up being an easy, slow day of low and slow. And I'm far from being a Pro detectorist, but I could see by the finds that the boys from the past were all over this place in droves. And they left me the pennies. Which I'll take. The ground there was like compacted powder, with a few roots. So for you guys restarting your hobby or just starting out, it is still out there. Also got about .90 cents in clad and current (70's on) memorials. Picked up a lot of the trash strewn around too because it makes me really sick to see how people treat parks. If I knew where they lived I'd go throw it on THEIR front lawn.
Have fun out there and HAPPY HUNTING!
