I took a quick trip around the world a few weeks ago and it only took 30 minutes. How's that, one might ask? Well I suppose one could jump on the internet and do a little virtual world tour or you could take the trip I took on my lunch hour. I sometimes take my trusty DFX to work with me and do a little lunch time hunting at a local park. On this particular afternoon I traveled a bit farther than the couple of miles it takes to drive to the park. It's a nice community park, located in a small college town, with wide open green lawns, numerous ball fields, volleyball and basketball courts, picnic tables scattered about the many beautiful shade trees and lots of walking and bike trails meandering through the gentle mounds and slopes that make for great lunchtime naps in the warm sunshine. Most hunts results in a pouch full of clad, mostly shallow or surface targets lost by the many students who lounge around between classes, doing a bit of homework or catching a quick volleyball match or pick-up basketball game. This afternoon however proved to be quite unusual. Hunting and picking my way around the most productive spots I had established from my weekly jaunts, I was about to head back to the office when I got a strong signal on the side of a steep slope below the playground area. I had hit this spot lots of time before and had cleaned it out pretty good. I pin-pointed the DFX and heard that unmistakable high-pitched whine of a surface target. I poked the grass with my coin probe and flipped up a strange looking pewter colored coin. A quick rub of the thumb revealed a bust of a man and some strange text. I knew it was foreign but didn’t no from where. (It turned out to be a Turkish 1000 lira coin) I placed the coin in my pouch and scanned the area once more and got another strong hit. This time a large gold colored coin appeared and it was a Canadian dollar. Another pass and another coin, an even stranger looking Asian coin that I later found out was a Korean 100 won. This was getting weirder by the minute. I kept scanning and pulling coins from an area of about 3-4 square feet until the signals ended. When all was said and done I had recovered 7 foreign coins. The roster included the following:

  • Belgium 5 francs
  • Turkey 1000 lira
  • Korea 100 won
  • Canada 1 dollar
  • Canada 25 cents
  • Mexico 5 pesos
  • Mexico 50 centavos
  • I’m still puzzled about how all these different coins came to be in one spot. Maybe someone lost part of a collection I thought, maybe a bunch of exchange students copped-a-squat together on the mound, or maybe it was a plant by a practical joker. No matter, it was quite a lunch time ride for me and the old DFX.

    Happy Hunting,
    Bryan B.
