THANKSGIVING HUNT YIELDS V NICKEL

Went back to the school where I found seven wheat pennies taking advantage of the warm weather and hoping to find some silver or old nickels.  Well I didn't find any silver but did manage to find an old nickel - a 1904 V - my first this year and second overall.    Plus I found 2 more wheat pennies. I hope there is some silver there after finding all wheat pennies and the V. Also found over a buck in clad and ring #21 - junk.

ONE OF MY BETTER WEEKENDS - NEW WHEAT RECORD

Started the weekend hitting a school where I've had luck in the past with silver and wheat pennies.  Well today I didn't find any but did find over a buck 60 in clad.  The ground was very damp due to the heavy rains on Wednesday.

Sunday morning I hit another school where I've luck with the wheat pennies and still hoping to find silver.  I did not find silver but I did manage to find 7 wheat pennies - my personal best. Most were in the 20's and 30's with one being in the 50's.  Got to go back - finding this many wheats in a small area there has got to be silver.

The clad count was good finding over $2.80 excluding the zincs.  Found 5 nickels as I set the discrimination down since I was finding the wheat pennies - maybe hoping to caught a buffalo but no dice.  Also found a canadian penny plus some junk keys, kiddie badge and a drum.
