    Hello everyone,
    My wife and I are at the hotel getting ready to fly back to NYC.
    I wanted to share my fabulous results from yesterday's Nugget Noggin Live Metal Detecting Event 2024.

    There were 3 parts..

    The first event was an hour hunt where we detect for tokens with a counterstamp number. I started a bit late because someone had mistakenly closed the gate to the entrance of the park so 3 other participants and myself couldn't get in on time.
    I did find 1 token about 2 minutes after I started!

    My prize was a display case with 6 old silver Canadian coins..

    In the second event it was a Half Dollar hunt. There were also tokens and others coins mixed in such as Walking Halves and Silver Kennedy Halves. I didn't find anything to win a prize but got me a handful of modern Halves..

    So the third event which is the silver hunt I did very good. I found 4 tokens and detected 34 different silver coins..

    I had a fabulous time even though it rained a few times which delayed the event schedule. I didn't get a picture with Michael Bennett aka Nugget Noggin but I did take one with another famous YouTuber Discovery Daisy..

    Congrats on the 'wins' Mr. Ed. You sure as heck know how to 'detect'. :)

    [aside] Did the wife see that picture of you with the pretty young lass? (devil)

    I'm guessing that his wife took the photo. Nice time you had Ed. Thanks for sharing.

    Are they going to let you on the plane with all that loot? You did great and I’m sure your wife and you had a wonderful time, despite the rain. Congratulations!
