MANAGED ONE LUNCH HUNT

So far this week I did get one lunch hunt in and hoping to today.  I found over a buck 40 so it wasn't a bad hunt.  The rain was unexpected yesterday and came just as soon as I stepped out the door to get the detector.

MONDAY ROAD TRIP

After some research, I took a trip to a park and a school yesterday hoping to find the old stuff.  My first place was the park - 2 ball fields and lots of ground - tried for over an hour finding just a few coins.  The park looks promising  - not sure how old - but may need another attempt.  I left there and hit a school that was built back in the 20's.  The ground looked original so I was hoping for some old coins.  No dice - only clad - I will have to go back and try it again.  Overall not a bad clad day finding over 3 bucks and ring #20 - junk.  Back to the research table.

FRIDAY & WEEKEND HUNTS - NO OLD COINS

Friday was a nice day and I tried a different area at lunch time.  Didn't find anything so I had to go back to the hot spot ending up with just 72 cents.
Saturday I started in the woods hunting most of the morning only finding about 36 cents and a token.  Later I took my son and his friends to a school and I hunted while they played.  Did better finding over a buck.

Sunday morning I hit a school along with my son who was practicing his football kicking.  Found over a buck 50 and then he got tired.  Hit another school after the Steeler game and found just under a buck.  I did find a pin and 2011 pendant.  I'm going through withdraws not finding a wheat penny in a while.  I plan on taking a road trip tomorrow since it's a holiday - maybe my luck will change.
