Not a total loss.

Decided the sun had gone down and the temps and dropped enough to get the Bounty Hunter out again. I just tooled around in the backyard, because there's no sense in looking for anything significant anywhere else until I've really learned how to use this thing. What did I find?

I'm not really even sure. The bottle caps are easy enough, though the one that isn't a Miller Lite cap I can't identify. Two random stake things...maybe from landscaping? I suppose they could be old tent stakes, but those usually aren't symmetrical. Some large slag of metal, and...

A quarter! Yay! It's a 2000 Massachusetts quarter. Oh well...twenty-five cents to the good.

Samsung SGH-A887

Found this on IN-37 while walking from Indy Gun Safety (Hoosier Handgun Safety Academy) just off of 131st street down to the Goodwill store on 126th. Considering it was laying in the grass in the median of a busy four-lane highway, it's in surprisingly decent shape. Unfortunately, it's missing its battery and rear cover. I scanned the area immediately around it, but no luck.






It does have the SIM card in it, so maybe it'll have some wonderfully personal information stored on it as well! ;)

Dominic insisted I post this...

I don't know what this is, but Dominic found it and was really excited that he found something to put up on the blog. It's metal, ductile, and rusty.

Any help? :)

Heavy Metal!

Did a little metal detecting today in my backyard. The little Bounty Hunter Tracker IV did well today:



So, for the visually impaired, that's a random piece of rusty metal, a nail, two "S" hooks, and the vast majority of fourteen cents (a dime, two pennies, and pieces of two more pennies). All of the coins were found within a 6" radius and all about 3-4" deep, so they were probably lost all together. The most recent of them is from 1999, so this "treasure" has been lost for eleven years, at most.
