Default I have found the treasure of El Dorado!!!

I went on a Sunday morning hunt with Greenwenvy and we went to this old school that had been shut down. We were there for about an hour and a lady security guard came by and told us we had to leave because it's now private property. We said, "Okay." and left. We then went to a park that's in the same town where Green lives and I hit the motherlode!!! I actually found the treasure of El Dorado. I could have been done at that point, but I got greedy. I think my net for the day was as follows.

1 - Treasure of El Dorado
3 - dimes
5 - pennies
10 - trash
1 - crushed toy car (found on top of the ground)

It was a great time with a new friend.

Pris you are too funny! Kinda makes me wonder where they got the fill dirt for the parks around here.

I picked up 2 quarters and 2 pennies at the "quarter park". We will have to hit that one next time!

Cheers

So Pris, does that mean we should stop looking for Eldorado. Good to see you digging trash, if you don't dig it, you won't find it. One day the good stuff will outnumber the trash. HH

Shhh Don't tell everybody, but it's not really the REAL treasure of El Dorado... much to my dismay. I actually had a little talk with myself today (I am starting to do this WAY too much) and I told myself that I need to make sure and dig ALL trash, no matter what I think it may be. It's hard to discipline myself not to just dig those nicer tones.

It's weird because I find that I would rather dig a penny than a nickel tone because the nickel tones on my machine tend to be trash. I listened to myself (from my talk with myself) and I actually dug the nickel tone and found a nickel. How's about that!!!

Sounds like a great day share among friends, congrats !!!

Been forcing myself to dig all targets the past couple of months, I keep thinking / hoping the next piece of trash target I dig will be a gold .......... LOL
