| A 1964 D Rosie dime. I would say that it is in EF+ condition and shows no probe marks, only slight wear. Price guide lists EF at $1.00. |

| Worked a school. Was built around 1916. There is a lot of trash. $2.63 in clad coins. The best find was 2 Mercury Dimes laying on top of each other. Not bad for 4 hours work with the 3300. The temperature was in the mid to upper 90's so I tried to work shade areas as much as possible. Brought home $2.63 in clad coins, 2 Mercs and 3 handfulls of trash. Left - 1935 D Price Guide - VF - $2.50 Right - 1945 D Price Guide - EF - $2.00 |

| Had a couple hours before work. Went to the Methodist Church yard next door with the Pioneer 505. First signal was a zinc penny, 4" deep. At 2.5" found an Indian Head penny dated 1899. Fine condition $5.00 |

| Took the 3300 out to the church, had a few hours before work and went back over the area where I found the Indian Head Penny. Again, within 15 minutes. This one was a little deeper - 4" and was far more difficult to find. I finally had to wave handfulls of dirt in front of the coil to find it. Est Value $1.38 |

| Went to an old park and found a 10 K gold baby's ring with a white stone. It hit as a zinc penny at 6" on the 3300 . I probed and probed, hit what I thought was a small rock and the ring popped outta the ground. Only had about 1 hour of time in due to a thunder storm approaching. The ring was the last dig and a very good one to end the day with. |

| Went over to the Church yard, didn't have much time so I random hit areas. Didn't find any $$, but dug up an old 12 gauge shotgun shell base. Research on the info from the headstamp revealed that it was manufactured by US Cartridge Company, 1864-1938 and the brand was USC Co. Defiance. Now I got to thinking what would a shotgun cartridge be doing in the backyard of a Church? Maybe it was a SHOTGUN WEDDING!? |

| Went to another church. A few clad pennies, lots of junk and a 1910 Excelisor Boy Scout Token ($10-$13). From information I was able to find, this token was produced by the Excelisor Shoe Company as a marketing ploy to get Scouts to buy their shoes. There are 3 versions of the token, this one is the scarce version of the three. It is in very good shape; the detail is sharp and shows little wear. |

| Went to a neighboring town not expecting to find much. Walked away with almost $7.00 in clad coins. (Best day so far) Most were found in a 30'x70' area at the baseball field. Went to another site in the town and found a mens Fossil Blue watch, a friend says he buys this brand and model for $90. The crystal is intact, the battery is dead but otherwise it is in excellent shape. |
