So I have been interested in saving money for quite some time now, and couponing never really has crossed my mind until recently. If you are on Facebook you can take part of the action too. Every evening I have been looking through deals online for products I use every day. Toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, shaving cream etc and I go to all the brand facebook pages and they almost always have some sort of a deal going.
Here is my recent trip to target:

So it’s now 2011, a time for new things and higher standards. I have set many goals for the new year. One thing in particular is to expand my API knowledge. I have been working with many API’s recently. Google Analytics, Google Charts, Bit.ly, Feed Burner etc, and want to push myself to know them in and out.
Outside of API’s I have been experimenting with Google Chrome Extension’s and App development. I am currently working on a personal project using XML-RPC for WordPress and hope to get it out in market within a month or so. This tool will be a neat experiment for myself and open many doors. I am in a mobile/web app mindset right now really trying to fill my head with all knowledge pertaining to that area.
With the release of Google Chrome’s Store, this would allow many people to take the skills they already have and easily create a web app or tool to monetize.
If you want to check out an app that is in market navigate to the Chrome Editor by Bryan Lynn, a good friend of mine who is working on an offline editor.
If you have any resources, or things which you found interesting, please let me know!
This was my first hunt. I spent about two hours at a recreational park and got a variety of things; mostly coins. This first object looks to be a rock but is very heavy for its size. Maybe two – three times the weight a rock of that size would be. I am trying to determine what it is comprised of.
I found quite a few coins, but in one spot I think i found about 8.
I checked the dates, nothing before 1952 and nothing after 1989,..so I think 1989 is probably when they were left. They were pretty deep, nothing was found above 4 inches.
I need some help though. Just as I was getting ready to leave I got a hit about 6 inches deep. I dug up an object very heavy for its size. Its rather rounded on one side and had a more flatter side on the back. I honestly dont know any more details besides it being really heavy. See attached image.
The other objects were a fishing weight, what looks to be some sort of hinge, or part of a lyre and finally what looks to be part of a bullet but not sure.
Overall I had a great time. It was starting to get dark, but I have so much more to dig there.
So for about the past 10 years, I always thought it would be fun to have a metal detector. Finding things buried in the earth, not knowing what it is until you finally find the little bugger is something cool to me. I just cached in some Foxwoods Dream Points for a new Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II metal detector and it just arrived through FedEx. I have been reading and watching videos on metal detecting to get a head start and have learned many things so far. My first trip was today, July 10th, on old farm land. It just started to rain shortly before I got there but once it slowed down, I tried it out. What I learned very quickly was, this is not going to be easy. Out of everything I have read, one thing I over looked was how ore it would make you. But this is good, it keeps you active.
I turned it on and started down by a little creek. Right away I got a ding. I looked at the LCD and say it was 2 inches below the surface, on the low end of the spectrum. I finally found the object and noticed it was a bolt. Neat. I have much to learn about how to discriminate certain objects and how to make the metal detector do most of the work, and not me.
This first trip was just a test. I wasnt expecting to get much, but I was able to experience and learn many things. Some things I took away: Being water. Wear old clothes. Keep your loot bag closed – If you kneel down and get up and kneel and get up you can spill your loot. I ended up there for about 1 hour because it started to rain again, but ended up getting some interesting thins.
My final findings for my first day was: A bolt. A large screw. A quarter sized piece of Iron. A fairly new quarter and two new pennies. Nothing of value but worth learning the tool I was working with.
