MORNING HUNT

I went back to the school where I found my buffalo nickel this morning.  No luck today with old coins but over 2 bucks in clad.  The school was built in 1938 - for some reason I can't find a wheat penny there.  Will have to keep looking and maybe get lucky with some silver.  I'm over a 1000 total coins for the year.

SECOND BUFFALO


I met up with L and we hunted an old school built back in the late 30's.  There was a lot of junk in the ground but I did manage to find my second buffalo nickel of the year.  No date on it - plus I found over a buck in clad. L found clad only.  With the buffalo hopefully there is some silver there.

WEEKEND HUNTS

Even with the weekend rain I did manage some hunts.  Saturday I went to a new park for me by a lake.  I tried along the small beach area and found only a penny.  There are lots of fields there - some were being used.  I ended up 39 cents as I had to attend my daughters birthday party which took me through the rest of the day.
Today I went back to my wife's school and got about an hour in before the rains came.  I did manage to get back out to my son's old school and found over a buck in clad.  Nothing old today - oldest coin was a 1959-d memorial penny.
