GOT OUT FRIDAY


After a couple of weeks of running around and long nights at work I decided to take Friday off.  I got some work done around the house then hit a park for a few hours.  Not much to tell - just .91 cents in clad but at least I could get out during the week.

GOT IN A FEW HOURS


After cooking the wife breakfast for mother's day I hit a school for a few hours.  I managed to find some silver - a mercury dime, a couple of wheat pennies and almost 3 bucks in clad.  It's now getting very warm when the afternoon hits but it's better than the cold.  I'm really liking my DFX - glad I got it.

COUPLE OF WHEATS AND CLAD


I went back to a spot where I've had luck with silver and wheat pennies.  No silver but did find a couple of wheat pennies. I'm going back to spots with the DFX to see if I find coins deeper or just plain missed them.  I think the later - because the coins were not that deep - but it may have read differently with the IDX pro.  Then I hit a field and found over 2 bucks in clad.
