Our First Monetary Find, January 3, 2013

My Blog Name is "Digger Gran."  After taking an early retirement from work, I decided I wanted a hobby to occupy my spare time.  So, I decided that I would metal detect.  My trusty sidekick (or wife), better known in this blog as "Pinpointer Princess," gave me my metal detector for Christmas. 

After waiting for the weather to warm, we ventured out on our first metal detecting adventure.  We went to a nearby creek, having no idea what we were doing, and began to detect.  We heard dozens of beeps, whistles, dings, and dongs, not knowing what any of them meant.  So after about 2 hours of walking and digging, we were rewarded with our first monetary find, which is pictured above...... a PENNY!
