OLD SPOTS - NEW COINS



I brought the safari to some old spots where I've had luck in the past with silver and older coins.  Must be I found them all - only managed a couple of wheat pennies and a King George canadian penny.  I was hoping for some deep silver finds but no such luck.  Will have to try some other areas where I've hit silver.  Still looking for my first nickel.

SUNDAY HUNT - BACK TO REALITY



Well I tried a different school Sunday morning but where I have found silver and wheats.  No silver but did manage one wheat penny and clad. So I went back to my "hot spot" and gave it another shot.  This time no silver and very little coin.   I went to try a school this afternoon but it's soccer season and all the fields were being used.  Gives me time to see where I'll go this weekend.  Still looking for my nickel with the safari.
