LUNCH AND AFTERNOON HUNTS

Went out again at lunch time - did a fair job finding clad just over 2 bucks.   I hit a school this evening finding over a buck 50 in clad and 2 wheat pennies.  I've been hitting the wheats but the silver has been hiding.  Hope to change that around soon.  Also found a 1942 nickel waiting for the wife.

3 MORE WHEAT PENNIES AND A SILVER RING

I had a couple of lunch hunts where I found just under 2 bucks in clad and hunted a camp that my brother in-law is using that was built back in the late 1800's.  No older coins but did find 3 wheat pennies and a silver ring there.  He plans on using the camp again so I will get another chance.  Also found some clad.

HUNTS LEAD TO 100TH WHEAT PENNY

I reached finding 100 wheat pennies for the year - something that I thought I couldn't do because of the limited areas to hunt along with other TH's.  This will be hard to break next year but it will be a goal.  I tried another new school not finding much except some clad.  I will hit it again and hope there is some old stuff there. I managed to find 2 and a half bucks.  I did find ring #15 - sterling.

JUST AN AVERAGE WEEKEND

Saturday I hunted with same pair as last week.  We all had a big drop in the findings expect for one friend finding a nice tungsten ring.  My haul was only a buck 60 compared to over 11 bucks last week and 1 wheat penny.

Today I went to my new school where I had found a buffalo nickel.  I had a better day there finding over 3 bucks and a couple of wheat pennies( not sure of one date).  I did find a 1940 nickel which I discovered later. I also found a token and soccer ball.  Not like last weekend but still profitable.
