Slow week

Didn't get out at all this week and I hope to do some hunting this weekend.  Rain - change in the work schedule have made it difficult.  Now just trying to find different areas to hunt will be the next step.  I haven't found a wheat penny or silver coin for some time now - I would like to end the drought. 

Lunch hunts

Well it's getting to be that time of the year when the sun goes down way too early.  I think my lunch hunts are done for the year.  UGH that means it's going to be winter soon and back on the computer and library for research.

Last hunt

For the past couple of days my work scheduled changed and I haven't been out hunting.  I did manage to try a new park on Sunday - one that has some history but as usual did not find anything old.  A ton of pull tabs and bottle caps though - it was hard to detect because of all the hits.  My take from the park was  4-q, 4-d, 1-n and 6 pennies for a buck 51.

Hunt in the park

I went to a city park that I thought would yield some older coins but after talking to one of the residents that lives across from the park - it would be difficult.  The park had been resurfaced after the micro-burst of 1998.  He said about 2 feet of new soil had been laid down so there went the hunting .  I did manage some clad - 2-q, 4-d, 3-n and 9 pennies for a buck 14.  Guess I will have to keep looking.  I will have to try a different park.
