The rains have come

Now that we got some rain last night and it has cooled down quite a bit - this weekend should be good for hunting. Hopefully the ground is a little bit softer - nice hunting weather. Will keep you posted.  I did hunt yesterday morning before the heat and found a quarter and a penny

wheat penny #22

Found another wheat penny at work today during a very short hunt at lunch. I talked to a co-worker who knows the area well and suggested another place to hunt. I thought it was silver the way the detector was showing but it ended up as a wheat penny. I'll take it

Just plain HOT

It's just too hot to go hunting. I can't believe I said that after the long cold winters but it's true. Still 93 degrees at 7:30.  And it's supposed to be hot again tomorrow.  Can you say heatwave???

Last several hunts

The weather has really turned around - now it's hotter than you know what and the ground is really starting to get rock hard. I have managed to hunt a little and only found clad 7-q ,8-d, 1-n and 18 pennies - $2.78 total.  Not worth taking a picture. I also found ring no17 - elcheapo but a ring. The heat is supposed to be like this another couple of days. Need rain to soften the ground.
