    Hunted Yesterday, Got Gold. Sorta, Anyhow.

    Howdy Folks!
    My day started out with a trip to my local metal detecting headquarters over in Golden.
    Ran into CyberSage over there, and he told me all about this here forum, so I went off
    and joined up after my hunting day. I picked up a few goodies there, then headed down
    to meet up with another fellow to hunt for a wedding ring set with engagement ring that
    some woman lost on a really huge sledding hill. Figured to use my new Bigfoot coil on my
    MXT to cover a great deal of ground in the least amount of time.

    So I headed down to Littleton, and it was flat-out cold there, and there was plenty of
    snow on the ground. We spent a couple of hours working the hill, but never found our
    target. We hoped we'd find it so we could get it back to the lady who lost it.

    After that, I headed east. As I drove along, the snow got less and less, and the temperature got warmer. By the time I got to my next location in southern Denver,
    it was much more pleasant to hunt. I visited several school locations and didn't find
    much of consequence. The best was a necklace stamped 14kt GP. The odd find of
    the day was a 25 centavo coin from Guatamala. We don't see many of them around
    these parts.

    Anyhow, I've got pictures to share, so hope you find them enjoyable.

    Blessings,
    M-Taliesin

    Not a bad hunt. All of that clad does add up. I remember a guy who used to save all his clad and at the end of the year spent them at a coin shop. His choice was always a different gold coin. Ten years doing that and he had about 13 gold coins I believe. Some people opt for silver if they don't find much clad. So keep finding that clad!!

    Howdy Again Coinnut!
    All that clad, and the gold I sold last year, paid cash on the barrel for my new
    White's Spectra V3!

    I sold gold and got a check for $1,682 and the clad on hand made up the difference.
    Tax as another $129. Ouch!

    Right now I'm working up for a trip west to the Rye Patch in Nevada, and other
    points west.
