Lunchtime hunt nets over $2.00!

It's pretty cool to be able to hit a city park on a lunch break and find some clad. I was able to unearth $2.09 (6 quarters, 4 dimes, 1 nickel and 14 pennies). Some of these finds were pocket spills-which allowed for fewer digs. I also found two dog tags-which one had a name and phone number. I ended up leaving a message for the person-and they phoned me back and said that it wasn't a match. At least I gave it a try. It's always nice to be able to have something back that was sentimental.

Edmonds Beach with the Washington State Ferry in the background.

The last couple of days turned out to be on and off rain around the Pacific Northwest. In between projects and during my lunch time-I was able to get in a couple of quick hunts. This was my first visit to Edmonds Beach for metal detecting. I really wasn't expecting much, but did manage to dig up a total of $1.24 in change. The coin count consisted of 1 quarter, 7 dimes, 1 nickel and 24 pennies. A marble was found with the quarter and the two keys were found at different parts of the beach. I was also able to find one nickel above ground at an AM/PM station.
