I had a bunch of family stuff going on this weekend, so there was not much time for detecting. My father was actually in town, and he brought with him my Sov GT which I had lent to him last summer. He has tinkered on his own with it but hasn't really gotten into the hobby. We made it out on Friday and Sunday for few short hunts. On Friday we hit an old park in the city where I have never had much luck. We dug a bit of clad and I found a cool silver ring. It's like a spinner ring but with two loose rings on it. It jingles a bit when worn and seems handmade. On Sunday we hit one of my favorite schools. My father had a hard time with the Sov there, but this time he managed to find silver - a tiny ring with two hearts. I dug the usual clad, three wheats, and what looks like an acorn finial of some sort. It was great to get out with my dad; I think he'd really get into the hobby but the Sov is a tough machine to learn on in my opinion. I keep telling him to cut his teeth in schoolyards but he's only interested in finding old coins and keeps hunting difficult spots with few targets which leads to disappointment.
Anyway, here's to better finds in the days ahead!
EDIT - forgot to mention, on Thursday we went to look at a house for sale, it was built in 1833. We won't by buying it, but danged if all I could think about was detecting the yard! Here's the listing:
