Picnic Shelter Detecting - January 15, 2013

Another rainy day.  And a new site.  A local picnic shelter.  People who have never metal detected before do not realize how much trash that metal detectors locate while digging.  Rule #2 of Metal Detecting:  Always throw your trash away.  Thus, you are doing Society a service. 

So far, we have thrown away:  glass, nails, crushed soda cans, bullets (fired and not fired), and many other sharp and/or dangerous objects.  This makes parks and other play areas safer for children and adults. 

This particular day, all we found of value was a penny and a tiny diamond(ish) stud earring.  We later confirmed that it is gold.  Not much demand for one tiny broken earring, though.  It's still raining, and PPP looks ridiculous digging holes with an umbrella in her hand, so we're going home!
