WHEAT PENNY #73 - RING #10


The coins are down the last few hunts but I did manage to find wheat penny #73 - one less than all of last year and junk ring #10 and 2 game tokens.   My total clad was under 2 bills.  With the rain yesterday hopefully the ground is a little softer - digging was getting to be no fun.  I plan to hit some areas I hope lead to some older coins - time will tell.

LAST FEW HUNTS


I started the fourth holiday with a hunt at a school in L's neck of the woods.  Did okay finding well over 2 bucks in clad - 2 wheat pennies and a Susan B. dollar.  Had party at the in-laws then met L at a park on the hill.  Didn't find much there about 22 cents.  I had my usual lunch hunt yesterday finding only 21 cents and no wheat pennies - breaks my streak.  Overall found over 3 bills. I did have my best nickel count in a while finding 7 total.

WEEKEND HUNTS


Saturday morning I started out at the beach - again not a lot just 99 cents in clad.  Then I hit a new park - much ground to cover but only found some clad.  There is a school on the same road coming home so I hit that and again found just clad. Ended the day with about 2 bucks.
Sunday I went North to a new park - hit 2 schools and another park.  Found around 2 bucks again - no old coins even though one of the parks looked promising.  This evening I went back to the school I hit Sat. and finally found a wheat penny #70 and over 2 bucks in clad better than I did all day Sat and 4 areas Sun morning.  I keep going farther away from home to try and find new spots to hunt - hope it leads to some good finds.
