Gold on Sunday!

[M-Taliesin]

Howdy Folks!
I went out yesterday (Sunday) for a shorter hunt than usual.
My leg was feeling wore out and the weather wasn't as shpadoinkle as the news claimed it would be. While the temperature hit just around 50 degrees, the wind was brisk and the sky was overcast. However, I did manage to hang in long enough to nail down some gold!

Among things I found was a silvery necklace with a dragon pendant on it. Two rings, both cheapies, 2 keys, a button and other assorted kiddie type jewelry. Intersting find of the day was what appeared at first glance to be a James Monroe presidential dollar. It ain't a dollar and while it is the right size and weight, it has writing on the reverse telling the reader facts about his life and times. Nowhere on the coin does it claim to be a dollar coin, and lacks the usual phrases found on American currency. Best find of the day was a gold earring that tested out at 10k. Otherwise, it isn't marked that I can find.

I was swinging my MXT Pro. My V3I is at Sweet Home to be repaired or replaced. Carl at White's has determined there are problems with the machine and I await his decision on what they'll do to resolve the problem. I'm sure they'll take care of me in the long run!

Anyhow, my take on the day was:
13 Quarters = $3.25
12 Nickels = $0.60
12 Dimes = $1.20
36 Pennies = $0.36
Total = $5.41
Coin Count = 73 coins.

Thanks for Looking,
Blessings,
M-Taliesin

Congrats on the gold Mel :clapping: I'm not sure if that token is like the old ones from the 60's and 70's that were given out at gas stations like Shell. You could collect the whole series and of course buy their gas too lol 5o degrees sounds like a heat wave to me Mel :yes: I will be interested to know how much better the V3i works when you get it back. Good luck on it.

Howdy Jack!
It is taking much longer than I'd expected, and longer than I'd like.
Hopefully, that brand spanking new V3i will be here in time for the weekend.
I got word from Carl up in Sweet Home that they were issuing a replacement
for my old unit. It never did work the way it should, and he saw that when he
ran bench tests on it. Now I am finally going to have a properly working machine,
and I can't wait for the weekend to put that thing through its paces.

Still can't kneel on the ground, but that ain't hobbling me too much any longer.

Blessings,
M-Taliesin
