CLAD KIND OF A DAY




I went to a new park where my friend T found a large cent penny.  I just started hunting when a guy approached me and said he was a TH too.  He had an e-trac and joined me in the hunt.  He had been to this park before and found a wheat penny spill.  He found 3 coins but one was a 1908 V nickel.  Me - nothing but clad  and a flat button.  There is a ton of junk in this park but I think there are still some old coins lurking about.  Then I hit a school and again - just clad.
Tomorrow I go back to my friends house and we will hunt some of his neighbors lawns.  This should prove interesting because the houses were built back in the 1800's.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  My friend is loving my DFX.

SILVER STREAK CONTINUES





Got out for a little on Saturday - not exactly the best day being cold and very windy.  I hit the woods and then a school close to home because of the snow pellets mixed with rain.  I did manage a wheat penny.
Today I took a trip to a friends house - the house was built back in the early 1800's - found some wheat pennies and tons on metal.  I was hoping to find that old silver but no such luck.  Then we hit a park close to his house - I did find a merc and more wheat pennies plus over a buck in clad. I plan on taking another trip up that way - maybe next time will be the charm.
