Default Sunday afternoon finds.

Went to church this morning and the family and I walked to the front and joined the church. Came home had a big pot of the little wifes homemade soup. Put the boy's and the little wife down for a nap, and was off to the old park by 2:00 pm. At first had a crowd. Dug some clad for them to show them how the magic stick finds coins under the earth. Gave about 20 coins to the children that were around, let each of them help me dig and find their own coins. Then the show was over. So I switched to relic mode and began huntin. Found a real old lock about 10 inches down, right across from the old jail. I was using the GTI 2500 for the depth. Then found some piece of broken pendant or something about 6 inches deep. found some more clad. Walked over alot trying to look for the deep stuff. All that you see was found in about a 10 x 10 area. The park is about 100 yards long and 60 yards wide. So theres plenty left. Thanks for looking.
