LAST FEW FINDS


I've been out - a couple of lunch hunts and some evenings.  I did manage wheat penny #77 in rough shape.  I met up with L last night and hit the park I thought no one hunted but a guy(who hunted this park) stopped by and thought I was his friend who he detects with - go figure - 2 more hunters.  He has found a lot of silver coins and travels and confirmed my suspicion about finding silver on the sidewalk project last year that I drove by but never stopped to ask.  Why didn't I stop???  Never again.  Anyway the last few hunts have netted just under 2 bucks.

FOUND WHEATS 74 - 76 AND SOME SILVER POT


Saturday morning I hit the school where L lives - had a good day clad wise after two hunts finding over 4 bucks in clad and a wheat penny #74 tying me with last years total. 


Sunday I hit a park that hasn't been used in a while or detected.  A home owner came out to talk to me and said he has lived across the park since 1963 and never has seen anyone hunt the park.  It must be true because the coins I was finding were deep - at least 4-5" down and deeper. I did manage 2 wheat pennies breaking last years record and over a buck in clad.  I plan to go back since there is a lot of ground to cover and hopefully there is some silver.  Speaking of silver - I did find an unusual ring - .925 silver with a pot leaf on it.  A ring is a ring and silver is silver.
