FRIENDS HOUSE PRODUCES SILVER

I went detecting at a friends house today - the house is over 100 years old.  We got off to a slow start then found a clad coin or 2.  I went down by the road and got a quarter hit - when I dug the hole I could tell it was silver.  A 1948-s Washington - the s surprised me - don't find many out this way.  Also found 17 cents in clad but I wasn't expecting a big clad count.  I let my friend borrow my Delta 4000 and she found her first wheat penny and now she's hooked.  There is over 45 acres of land - most of it woods and we will hit that in the fall.  So overall not a bad day.

ROAD TRIP WITH LITTLE FINDS

I hit the road Sunday morning - went north to a lake and tried a couple of parks.  The first park looked promising - in the middle of the woods hadn't been used for some time.  The grass was high and it was full of junk - looked like the place had been filled in.  Only found 2 pennies so I decided to try another park.  This one had a small beach. I found 2 quarters and managed ring #10 - silver.  That made up the bad morning and long trip.  Will get the pic of the ring - daughter liked it and took it.

SATURDAY HUNTS

I went to my old school of employment where I did my lunch hunts - managed one wheat penny and a good chunk of clad.  I would have stayed longer but got called to work to get keys for one of my workers.  Then I went to another school again where I had found the merc - this time not much not at all just some clad.  With this last bunch of findings I went over $100 for the year.
