It was a great two days of swinging the stick at a local park I haven't been to. All clad and cheap jewelry but I did find a 1952 wheatie and a 1964 Lincoln in the best shape of any 60+ year old penny I've ever dug up. Happy Father's Day from Southern Oregon!

After 14 years of metal detecting off and on, I finally found my first gold after poking around at a school pkayground! A small 10k Black Hills gold girl's ring. It registered a loud and solid 24 on my newer Manticore. The adrenaline was definitely flowing after digging it up. I also found a corroded 1937 wheatie, some cheap jewelry, and lots of clad, including a Sacagawea dollar and a car wash token. Overall, a great day of detecting! Happy hunting out there from Southern Oregon

I spread some Scott's Turfbuilder prior to two weeks of on and off rain and it helped make my front and back yard thicker and greener in preparation for 85-90° temps for the next week or so. Raised the lawnmower blade an inch for the summer heat and plan to water a little more as well. Just wanted to share from Southern Oregon!

I'm lazy and didn't want to make a gazillion burgers and flip them all on the Blackstone, so I made one gigantiburger and cut into squares which fit perfectly on sliced bread. It took half the time. Work smarter, not harder! Happy griddling 😎

I'm happy to share after 14-plus years of metal detecting I finally found my first mercury dime this past Saturday. It was in great shape too, located in the middle of a school playground, about six inches underground, with my new Manticore and new 8-inch coil. I also found a beautiful silver ring with what I think is a topaz stone. Living in a rural area in the Pacific Northwest makes locating old coins a little more challenging but perseverance paid off. Happy hunting out there.

I spent four hours at a school playground and couldn't believe how active it was. I literally couldn't walk more than a few feet at a time without hitting a coin or other. I recently purchased a smaller 8-inch coil for my Manticore that really centered on coins quickly and made pinpointing them fast and easy. I found a few wheat pennies a good 7-8 inches underground and a nickel a good five inches under a tree root. The jewelry is cheap but I just enjoyed the thrill of a great day of detecting. Happy hunting out there!
