A Richer New Year


Doug decided to play with his metal detector today. It was a beautiful, sunny day and all of that sand was calling to him. He knew there were riches to be found.


At first, it was fun following him around and listening to the beeps and squawks of the Whites QXT Pro. But after the 60th bullet shell was uncovered, it wasn't quite as enticing. So, I tried baking a loaf of bread instead. (disaster!)


He uses the big detector to narrow down an area and then this little detector to isolate the treasure. He spent a lot of time sifting through the dirt just to end up with a rusty nail, bolt or screw.


But then came the payoff! He found a penny! And then another one! By the time it got too dark to see anything, he had a profit of three cents. Not bad for a day spent lounging in the southwest sun.

Found money today .03.
