TRIED THE WOODS

Went to a friend's house in the country  - he had a couple of spots to hunt so I let him use my Delta.  The first area was behind his house getting there by 4 wheeler - nice location but no coins.  The second was next to a cemetery with head stones dating back to the early 1800's.  Again nothing so after a few hours he went home and I tried the wooded area where I found the silver quarter.  No silver but did find 2 wheat pennies 1942 and 42-d  - a quarter and 2 pennies.  I would like to get back to this wooded area - there is so much more ground to cover plus the park.  27 cents - 3 coins  - 5 total.

PARK AND LUNCH HUNT

I tried the park one more time to hopefully find some more silver but no luck. I did get some clad a buck 47, a canadian dime and old bus token.  15 coins - 16 total.   Then at lunch time I couldn't hunt the area I wanted again because of a softball game, so I had to hunt another area.  I found a buck 19 and a canadian penny.   I don't know what's up with all the canadian coins but I seemed to be attracted to them.  11 coins - 12 total - $2.66 - 26 coins - 28 overall.

LUNCH AND ERIE CANAL HUNT

                        The Erie Canal  - looks promising but still haven't found anything

I went back to the Erie canal to try a spot next to the park where there is a path through the woods.  I managed to find only 3 memorial pennies and a game token.  I thought it would be a good place but no luck.  My lunch hunt was much better - I found wheat penny - 1942 -  number 15 and 75 cents.  I wanted to hunt another area but it was being used - so I can't complain finding the wheat.  My overall take was 78 cents - 9 coins 10 total.

PARK HUNT

Went back to the park this time armed with the Delta 4000.  It's a nice machine but it really loves the old nails and metal.  I found a lot of rusty nails - deep but still junk.  I did manage 28 cents  4 coins.

STARTED SLOW THEN FOUND SOME COINS

I went to a co-workers house which was built back in the 1800's and hunted the woods behind his home.  No coins found but did find a gutted out pocket watch and other stuff.  Then I had to take my son to a friend's house and my daughter to a college fair then back to detecting.  Went to one of my favorite schools and found a buck 4 along with a 1956-d wheat penny - 10 coins  -  11 total.
