Wow, we've gone out twice, once to a park and once to a beach, and still have under $1. Good job everyone!
Baggerman, I believe the ring from the 1st is the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It's been a long time since I saw one though... Nice find!

Actually I thought it was an Irish Claddagh ring.

I hit the Michigan City Beach on the southern end of Lake Michigan after a HOT weekend. My bad foot just couldn't make it in the loose sand. Ended up with a couple of bucks. Had to quit WAY too early!

Yea I can only do 1-2 hours in a day and then the back is trashed for the rest of the day. The place I found the mercury dime I KNOW there is more silver but I just had to quit and come home. This getting old thing really sucks LOL.

Ordered an AT Pro last week,as a back up to my beach hunter ID. Was hoping to have it by the fourth of July. Now Kellyco says its back ordered and I am a little pissed off. They said it would be shipping this monday when I ordered it. I guess it's like Forest Gump says IT Happens
Ten K shepple on my beach here for the fourth of July, so the fifth is always an early start for me, but this year I don't get off work until 7am. Nothing seem to be working out.

What type of metal detector do most of you use? I think it would be really fun and also a way to get out and get a lil excercise...
