Yep it is nothing but clad but boy oh boy I am happy, why you ask? Well it was my first hunt in 6 weeks and first since my hip replacement. My walking has gotten much better in the last few days and I was moping around the house reading all the great posts and watching the videos of all the fantastic finds my friends were making. Now don't get me wrong I am excited and happy for all of you but you know it just made me more itchy to get out there. Diane saw how I was feeling and she said let's go out, you swing the coil and I will dig for you....wow what a sweet girl! So that is what we did for about an hour which was about as long as I could go. We went down to a local modern park because I knew we would find something there. Ended up with a quarter, dime, 4 copper memorials, 1 Canadian penny and a zink. It felt good I was able to pinpoint everything right on for her and even told her what would be there lol....well except for the Canadian! Here is a picture of my Magnificent Finds :cheesysmile:

Been waiting for this post. Nice to see that you can swing and that you have acquired a new digger (Diane). Now as far as the happy dance goes, I'm thinking you should be slowing it down a bit. Congrats on your recovery and your finds.

All the best with your new hip and glad to see you can get out detecting again. I know how just finding targets can be so gratifying after not doing it for any length of time.

Again, speedy recovery and many good hunts.

So glad to hear that your recovery is coming along, Tony! It is great news that you were able to go detecting! Just take it slow, follow doctor's orders and don't push yourself too hard. You'll be back out there finding large cents and silver coins in no time! :yes:
