My starting target was a city park that's about 25 years old. Nothing major here, but the condition of the some of the coins was very interesting. With a bit of help indentifying, the quarter's toning is clearly a chemical reaction common to nickel clad coins left under ground for years. My gut feeling is that the pennies suffered more, one massacred by a park lawnmower is my guess.

The odder stuff was the scrap metal. Aside from a bunch of torn up aluminum can bits, an electronic switch and some weird pocket-knife tool were in my finds this morning. I also noted that two hours of detecting gives your body core a workout. All that stooping and digging and then standing up gives you something to feel in your back by the end of the shift. All was good til I cut my finger with my digging tool saw edge. doof. Should've worn gloves. First dig, first blood.
