ONE OFF THE LIST



I met a friend after work to try and find an old foundation in the woods.  The weeds are still too high but did some hunting anyway - managed one coin but it was a good one.  I found my first 2 cent piece - 1869.  Will be hitting this spot again once the weeds go down.

MY BEST WHEAT DAY


I traveled on Sunday to a new park for me - looked promising on the map but when I got there - first there were guys playing football and second - it looked like the park had been filled.  I did hunt next to the tot lot and when I dug - yep filled in dirt - rocks, junk etc. So I hit a spot where an old school had stood and found nothing there.
Monday after spending time with the daughter and son I finally got out to hunt.  I hit one of my favorite parks and started out well finding 4 wheat pennies and a zinc.  A gentleman I met before came out and asked how I was doing - told him about the wheats and he told me what he had found - barber quarters and an Indian.  So I hit an area I barely hunted before - I was hitting wheat after wheat and some clad.  I was hoping a silver popped in but no such luck.  I ended the day with 10 wheat pennies - a new record for me.  I will hit this spot again - maybe some silver will show up.  Also found a 1942 nickel.

HAD A GOOD MONDAY

Sunday wasn't a good day but Monday was much better - will have more details when my wheat pennies get done soaking and I can get a picture of them.  I was hoping to get silver in the mix but no dice.
