Metal Detector Challenge Day (Night) 5

Wow, first week complete.. and I am not too proud to admit, swinging a metal detector for 7 hours plus a day is no easy feat. It now feels like I have the back and neck of a 90 year old man! Last nights hunt turned out to be the most lucrative hunt so far. A good way to finish the week.. totalling $60.80 in coins. I was kept company this hunt by a friend of mine, Tony. Perhaps his company motivated me to the best haul of the week:) We started the night at a harbour side beach which is actually an off leash dog park. So for once, Wilson my dog was not breaking the law :P I kicked off the night searching the dry beach sand. I managed to find a few dollars, but nothing major. After that I spotted a children's playground with a sand surface, and decided to give that a try. I rarely have much luck in these playgrounds, and the first area yielded me a whopping 10 cents! I then moved to the second part of the playground where the swings are, and things started to get better. I must have pulled about 15 coins from this side of the playground, many of them $1 and $2 coins which helps boost the revenue count. After cleaning out the playground, I began hunting the picnic area. Both myself and Tony did quite well here, and our pockets were slowly beginning to bulge with the coinage. Next stop was another beach which I have already hunted twice this week. There was a picnic area at this beach I was yet to try, and this also turned out to be a good spot. So overall, not a bad end to the first week of the Challenge.
