WOODS HUNTS YIELD LITTLE

I've been hunting the woods hoping to get some old coins but just getting coins has been a blessing.  Monday I found about 38 cents and not much more the last 3 times I went out.  L met me Wed, Thur. and Fri. and we had no luck hitting some areas with a lot of history.  I did manage a few pennies in a park and got lucky with a quarter and some pennies in the woods. We plan to try some different spots - hopefully with better results.  No lunch hunts as I am on vacation and ready to change jobs thus giving me more time to hunt the woods.

LAST COUPLE OF LUNCH HUNTS

I managed to get in lunch hunts Mon and Tues..  For once the weather was decent - no rain and plenty of sun - just a little chilly.  The 2 days brought in over $2.70 - still going through the wheat withdraw but hope to find one soon.  I did find five bad zincs not included in the total plus one Canadian penny/

RAIN, WIND - NOT A GOOD WEEKEND

I missed the Friday lunch hunt due to rain,  the wind and rain was an all day Saturday event.  I did manage a couple of hours hunting in the woods Sunday morning before the rains came again.  My take was a whole 30 cents - five pennies and a quarter.  But at least I got out to swing the detector.
