SHORT HUNT AT LOCAL SCHOOL


Went down the road to a local school and hunted about an hour.  Not lots of finds but getting out was the thing.  Did manage wheat penny #32 and just under .70 cents.  Starting to find more nickels which I like - the DFX discriminates them much better - not digging as many pull tabs.

QUICK MORNING HUNT BEFORE THE RAIN



I hit another school I've hunted in the past - again just to see what I could find using the DFX.  For a 2 hour hunt I didn't do badly - finding over 3 bucks in clad,  3 wheat pennies and a Kennedy half dollar. I hope I can get back out this afternoon.
