Quick hunt yesterday

Went to the son's old school for a quick hunt and hoping to find another old coin. The oldest again was a 1959 memorial and a total of 54 cents - 1-q, 2-d, 1-n and 4 pennies.  I can't believe that I have found all the old coins there.  There has to be more.

Day at the beach 2

Went back to the local beach early this morning and skipped my workout.  What a difference when nobody is around. So I hunted the shore line then moved up the beach. No jewelry but a fair amount of clad - 9-q, 6-d, 2-n and 6 pennies for a total of 3 bucks and 1 cent (23coins).  I combed most of the beach but the good thing about it is that it will replenish itself soon.  So in a few weeks another morning hunt will be due. I'm also over the $100 mark - a first for me.

Day at the beach

I went to a local beach for about an hour - didn't find a lot just a bracelet and a buck 3 - 3q, 2d, 1n and 3 pennies. Still too many people near the water where I really wanted to hunt. I did meet a guy that has a detector but hasn't used it much - just around the house. I told him that there are several of us and we try and get together and hunt and he said he would be interested. We could use the help.

Early morning hunt

Went to the ole school yesterday where I have found 2 silver coins but no such luck. The oldest coin was a 1959 memorial penny and a buck 23 in change. Never did make it back out but overall it was a good weekend finding another mercury dime. The beginning of a new week so we'll see how things go.
