SATURDAY HUNTS



After the morning rain I had to get out and try a couple of schools with the nice wet ground.  My first school I have hit many times and tried a different field.  I did manage a silver dime (Rosie) and a couple of wheat pennies.  That was with my safari going across the field.  Then I tried my DFX - once I remembered how to use it - up and down the field.  Didn't find as many coins but did find my quarters with it.  Found a lot of pennies - they were deep around 6 - 7 inches down so I thought I would have found more wheat pennies but not the case.  Then I hit my hot spot with the DFX and found a wheat penny - kinda deep - the ground had a very hard surface - thought it would have been softer but seems the rain got soaked up.

HOT SPOT KEEPS ON GIVING



I tried my hot spot again for about an hour yesterday and had some good luck.  Managed to find another silver quarter and 2 more wheat pennies.  That's the 7th silver coin I've found there.  The coin were about six inches deep.  Really liking the safari - just got to get use to the tones. Also found a penny.

A RAINY SUNDAY

Didn't get a chance to get out Sunday - was hoping to hit a friend's house but the rains came as I was going to meet her.  Then it just never quit.  We could use this soaking rain though - should make the ground better for hunting.
