Once again my plan to do some underwater treasure hunting has been foiled, this time by bad weather conditions. I missed Sunday Nights hunt totally, but managed to hunt last night (Monday night) at a local park. I chose this park as it is walking distance from my house, and if it started raining again I could quickly escape. And there is another reason for selecting this small park, they host lots of market days so as you can imagine lots of currency is changing hands at this place. My mission for the night was to avoid all of the lower denomination coins, and purely dig for $1 and $2 coins (Goldies). I realise I am leaving a large amount of coins behind, but I feel my time is better spend digging a $2 coin rather than 20 x 10cent coins. Anyway, this proved to be a great strategy, totalling $87.45 before the batteries in my Metal Detector ran out. Some of you maybe wondering if I was only digging for $1 & $2 coins, how did I end up with 45c? Well there we're 2 x 20cent coins in the same hole which gave off a signal similar to a $2 coins. So I was kind of tricked by that one, and the 5c popped out while digging up a $2 coin. Surprisingly many of these coins we're just sitting on top of the grass. Its like people couldn't be bothered to pick them up. Oh well, makes this challenge easier for me :)
