TRIED A NEW PARK


It's getting to the point where I need to travel to find new hunting grounds.  I hit a park about a half hour away that seemed like it would be a good spot. When I saw the park everything was new - the benches, backstop and even the swings.  It's in the middle of no where which is why I went there.  Only managed to find clad and another Canadian penny - I go through streaks.   I thought I found my first gold ring but it turned out to be junk.  It hit around 23 on the detector but no such luck.  Guess I will have to keep searching - for both a gold ring and good place to hunt.

SATURDAY SCHOOL HUNT


Well I went back to the school where I've found lots and wheats and silver.  Today nothing but clad and more than the last few hunts.  My oldest coin was a Canadian penny.  The ground is really dry and the detector doesn't seem to be going deep.   The white's loves the wet ground.  But I need to find some new places and try to get some older coins.
