WHAT'S UP WITH THE WEEKENDS ???


I don't know why but during the week for the most part the weather is warmer and nice.  Then comes the weekend then cold and snow.  Supposed to be cold Sunday then in the 40's on Monday and most of the week.  Must be a curse of just normal central NY weather.

QUICK HUNT AT LOCAL SCHOOL


I went back to the school where I had found my peace dollar.  No luck today just finding some clad and a token.  Maybe next time but I can't believe I'm hunting in February - the weather has been great.

SAME SPOT - ANOTHER WHEAT


I went back to my current hunting spot - no silver again but did find another wheat penny #6 for the year so far.   Still have lots of ground to cover and so I'm optimistic about finding more silver.  Found over a buck 60 in clad including a lot of pennies and a cub scout tie clip.
