VERY SHORT SCHOOL HUNT

Only could get out about an hour so I hit a school down the road.  Did find a wheat penny -1938- and some clad  -
a buck 20.  The take was 3-q, 4-d and 5 pennies - 12 coins.  I still think there may be silver there - finding the wheat pennies at different areas on the grounds.  Wanted to get out and try a park but the boy has a friend over and the wife is out.

2 HR PARK HUNT

No silver or wheat today but did have a nice pocket spill find.  There was 19 coins in one hole - all dimes and nickels - not bad. My oldest coin was a 1954 nickel.   My clad take today was 7-q, 15-d, 10-n and 8 pennies.  It is also the most nickels I've found in one day.  The total was $3.83 - 40 coins.  The next couple of days are supposed to be nice so I hope to get out and try some new areas.

HI HO SILVER AGAIN

Went for a short hunt back to the park where I had found my last silver quarter last week.  I got lucky again today and found another quarter 1958-d.  This one was about 5-6 inches down - #12 for the year.  I was digging dimes and pennies about 6-8 inches down - not many coins in the plug.  My clad take was $2.55 - 8-q, 5-d and 5 pennies - 18 coins.

BEST WHEAT DAY

Well today I had my best wheat day finding 6 pennies.  I hit a school on the East side and Joe met up with me there.  Found 3 wheats at this school - a lot of junk - it was hard to hunt.  Then Joe suggested another school and I found 3 more wheats there  - 1929, 1945(2), 1956, 1958 and a 1958-d.  Also found $3.16 in clad - 5-q, 16,d 1-n and 26 pennies for 48 coins.   Joe had about 5 bucks in clad.
