I metal detected with Mark today. We detected in two yards in Clarksville, and one in Louisville on Highland Avenue. Pictured above is what I found, less a lot of other garbage I already threw away. When detecting in yards you find a lot of pieces of aluminum trimmed from gutters, siding, soffet undersides, etc. And I found a lot of that today.
I found this big Lucky Charms coin. I don't know what that was used for. Also, beside it is an American Legion medallion commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Armistace in WWI. The date on it is 1938 so I guess that's when it came out. Next to that is some type of Readers Digest Stamp. The other honorable mentions are the Lincoln coin. I don't know what that was from, but it just has written on the back that Lincoln was the 16th President, and served all during the Civil War. Next to that, 2 Wheat Pennies, a 1934 and 1935. They're neat. I found a total of $1.42. I don't know how much Mark found. I know he found a 1940 penny. We detected for probably 5 hours. It was fun and I really liked being able to get out and detect with Mark. We don't get to do that nearly enough!

That Armistace Commemorative coin is neat - looks like its in pretty good shape, too. Wonder if it's worth anything. Metal detecting must be like an archeology dig. The cleaned up end result you see in pictures is fascinating, but it's really alot of sifting through alot of dirt inch by inch to get to the good stuff...
