QUICK LUNCH HUNT

I did a quick lunch hunt Friday - it was warm but nothing like Thursday.  Only found 55 cents and the ground is hard as a rock again - going to need some rain.  This weekend it's still going to be hot so I will have to venture out early.

HOW TO BEAT THE HEAT - WITH NICE COOL SILVER

I found a way to beat the heat - grab your detector and find some silver.  Yep I found a merc during my lunch hunt yesterday - wasn't expecting it but really appreciate the find.  I found it on the opposite side of the fields where I have found other silver coins.  It was about 8 inches down - now I will have to hunt this side a little harder.  My clad count was 13 cents but finding silver made the day.

3 WHEATS FOUND ON EVENING HUNT

I hit a new area last night - on old church that I got permission to hunt and found 3 wheat pennies #'s79 -81 and some clad.  L met up with me there - There is not a lot of ground -  we both were finding a lot of metal.  Then we went over to a ball park that was used by a school built back in the late 1800's - only found some clad - the take was 91 cents and the wheats.
I've had some good lunch hunts finding decent clad totals - over 2 bucks on Mon. and over a buck yesterday. The next couple of days are going to be hot and humid so I may not be getting out.

ROUGH WEEKEND BUT DID FIND A WHEAT

The hunt started up north at my Uncle's camp at the local high school.  It was hot and the ground was like a rock.  I couldn't dig very deep and with the heat I gave up early only find 38 cents - but did have a good time with the family.  Sunday morning I hit the beach then went to my new park finding a wheat but digging deep for my coins.  Again the ground was so hard digging takes a lot out of you.  My take for the day was over a buck.  It's supposed to rain today - hope it does to soften the ground a bit.  Not a productive weekend but getting out is half the battle.
