Here's a week of digs...
I got out on a few week day evening hunts, but they were cut short by rain and an E-trac that just wouldn't work... falsing on every swing... 12-6, 11-5, over and over and over, in areas it always worked fine before. I'm blaming it on wet grass and/or impending thunderstorms because it seemed to work fine this weekend when the weather was a bit clearer. I'll tell you the recent wonkyness of the Etrac along with my paltry finds are starting to make me think about going back to the Sov. If I hadn't lent is to my father I probably would have busted it out already just to see.
Saturday I hunted one of my best spots, hoping for silver, but conditions were horrendous. Nobody is able to mow grass anywhere because it has rains every day, so the grass was long, and soaked. Still I fought it out for a bit, managing some clad and wheats and then finally a nice 59 silver Canadian quarter and later a 56 German 1 Deutsche Mark. I hit the dirt again in the evening at another spot hoping for more silver, but all I got was some more clad with a few more wheats mixed in.
This morning I hit the tot lots and did alright. I tried dirt hunting in the afternoon, but the field I was planning on hunting was literally a pond, with ducks on it and all. Then it started raining again. I gave up and headed home.
Total for the week was 327 coins worth $23.98 including 7 wheats, a '45 Canadian penny, and three older nickels. I also found two keys, three tokens, some trinkets, and the usual zippers, buttons, and junk.
With regard to the last pic... 5 objects. All different colors. They look like eraser heads, but with no trace of eraser or pencil. They were found in a tot lot, all stuffed in an empty jello cup with a big pink eraser. You tell me. Eraser heads, by the way, are my most hated target. I don't know what it is about them... I never guess them correctly and they are NEVER at the depth I expect.
Happy hunting!
