Another visit to the Gold Mine

Woke up late on Sunday and we weren't too sure what we were going to do with the day. I suggested that we call Steve and Nadine after breakfast to see if they wanted to metal detect somewhere. As we were starting breakfast the phone rang and it was them wanting to get together with us.

We went over to their house to see their new driveway and to detect their yard once again. It was an overcast day with big storm clouds moving in and out bring intermittent rain showers. We wrapped the electronics of the detectors in plastic bags and scanned through the light rain hiding indoors for the heavier showers. We turned up the sensitivity of the detector as well and the discrimination to try to find deeper coins and we didn’t do too bad:

Found 2 musket balls
Mechano Dinky Toys Made in England button.
6 modern pennies
Twoonie and a loonie
1920 penny
1913 dime
1909 penny
Ended the day with a fabulous corn roast with sausage on a bun.
