LUNCH HUNTS FINDS 2 MORE WHEAT PENNIES


On Monday's hunt I managed to find over 2 bucks in clad and wheat penny #125.  I can't believe the amount of coins I'm still finding and a wheat to boot.  Tuesday I found a dollar, could have found more but someone was asking about metal detecting so I couldn't hunt like I wanted too.  But it's makes you feel good when people ask your opinion on the detecting.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND


Friday morning I met L and we hunted some woods that I've wanted to try.  The area has some history so we were hoping to get on old coin or two.  No such luck - all we found was a penny(memorial) but we will hit it again.   The growth is still kind of thick so it was hard trying to swing the detector.  I did manage to find a wheat penny = 1918 I think - outside the woods and a quarter.  At lunch I found over a buck 50 and two Canadian coins.
Saturday I hit a park that I haven't hunted in a while.  Did okay - found nothing old and later in the day I hit a school and some woods next to the play area.  Found some coins but again - nothing old.  My take was $2.75.


Sunday morning saw me going to some familiar ground finding my 124th wheat penny for the year.  Later in the day I hit a school and found just over a buck in clad.  Not much in the way of old coins but did get a nice clad total for the weekend.
