LOOKS LIKE - WEEKENDS ONLY

I met T on Tuesday to try the woods where I found my latest large cent - by the time we got there and started to hunt it was time to get out of the woods and leave.  It just got dark - FAST!  Needless to say we didn't have a lot of time to metal detect.  My hunting now is going to have to be on the weekends.  Can't stand this time of year - then soon enough it's back to maps and research.  I don't want a ton of snow but enough to get the tall weeds to lie flat so come spring I can hit some different areas and swing the detector.

BACK TO THE WOODS



Even with the snow and cold I haven't given up yet - I'll be hunting till the ground is rock hard and it's way too cold to go out.  Glad I am because I went into the woods yesterday and found my 3rd large cent coin.  The only find for the day but I'll take it.  This is my 7th 1800 coin this year - a new record for me.  I was hoping to find a silver along with the LC but no luck.  Will have to go back and try it again this weekend.

FRIDAY HUNT


With the day off I got a chance to hunt before the snow and cold weekend - but the rain came which ended my detecting short.  I was going to met T at a park that has some history to it but he got called in to work.  I could only manage clad then had to quit with the downpour.  We will give it another shot some other time.
