I swung the coil on vacation

Hi RickO,
You may recall my telling you I am 83 years old and didn't think I could go detecting anymore. You told me to give it a shot. I took your advice and in Wisconsin, I was able to hit three different parks. Nothing major found but, I ended up with $18.11. Included were two 1941 wheat pennies, two Presidential dollar coins, and one dollar bill laying on the grass in one of the parks. One man approached me and asked if I found anything. I told him what I had found that day and he asked me, "You mean that machine can locate a dollar bill?" That is when a little orneriness in me came out. I told him it sure can locate dollar bills, but only silver certificates. He walked away believing me. All in all, when I was done, I felt fine after going, had a good time seeing my grandson as well, and am looking forward to going again next year. MDH
