NOT SO GOOD FRIDAY


I started in the woods - hunted a while and managed to find a wheat penny.  Then I tried a park - not much luck there finding pennies and dime.  Then I hit a school I haven't hunted in a while - did find a wheat, a foreign coin(no clue) and little else.  The penny finds ruled the day but it beats getting shut out.  Arrival of DFX is scheduled for Wed.

RAIN SHORTENED HUNT


It had rained earlier in the morning then quit for a bit.  I decided to give it a try but of course once I left the house it started to sprinkle.  I got to my school of choice and found a wheat penny right off.  Then the rain came down harder - I did manage a quarter and penny before I had to call it quits.   I purchased a Dfx Whites Spectrum E-series with a 10"x12" DD SEF Butterfly coil and a 5" Detech DD excelerator coil and a set of Auvio Wireless headphones with jack and charger for $600.  Should get it next week - can't wait.
