VETERAN'S DAY HUNT


I met up with my friend T on Monday and he wanted to try a new area to hunt.  It looked promising - the area had some good history to it but it wasn't what we expected.  I did manage a clad quarter there then we tried a place that I knew where a old church had been - the foundation is still there but the weeds were too high - couldn't swing the detectors so we tried a park where I've had luck with silver.  We found no silver but I did find a wheat penny and .76 cents.  We may give it another shot this weekend.

LAST FEW HUNTS



I hunted with a friend on Tuesday at a new location - he did some research and we found an old foundation in the woods.  We gave it a shot only finding a wheat penny each along with some junk - signs of life but no older coins.
This past weekend I went back to my home town and did very little hunting - time just slipped by - did manage a hour hunt finding over a buck in clad Saturday and just .60 cents on Sunday hunting a 1800's built house - haven't had luck hunting the older houses - maybe one day.  So overall just one wheat penny to speak of.
