HIT A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS - ONE WHEAT

I went to a couple of schools today - not too bad of a day - found over 3 bucks in clad and one wheat penny - my best clad total in a while.  Got a late start because of the rain last night - ground needed some time to dry.   May hit some more tomorrow - I think the woods are going to be impossible with all the growth and bugs.

Went out at lunch time and was finding dime after dime.  I managed to find 9 in all along with some pennies.  Hope to get out over the long weekend.

A VERY SHORT HUNT

Finally got out at lunch time yesterday but it didn't last long - found a quarter then the thunder came so I had to go back in.  No sense taking a chance to be a human lightning rod so I will try and go out again today.

TRIED THE WOODS AGAIN

Tried the woods again with my co-worker who had the day off.  We didn't find much - he found 22 cents and I found 34 cents along with 2 wheat pennies and a 1939 nickel - my first nickel find there. Also found a key.   On the way out a woman stopped us - she also metal detects and has on and off for about 20 years but has been hunting more the last couple.  I told what I had found there so she gave it a shot after we left.  Hopefully she had better luck than we did.  It always good to see other people who enjoy the hobby.

BACK IN THE WOODS 3

Made my trip back in the woods earlier Sunday morning.  I started out across a creek to try a different area.  Most of the woods is hills and not much flat land.  There are many trails so I will have to take a walk and see what looks good to hunt.   I did find a lot of clad pennies and my first half dollar this year - a Kennedy which surprised me - it was right on the surface - some kid must of lost it.  I worked my way back to my "hot" area but only found a wheat penny.  The growth is getting thicker and now I wonder if I really hit 2 jackpots with the large cents since I can't find anything in between those coins and most of the silver coins I found dating from 1935 and the 40's and 50's.  My take was a buck 33.
