NO SILVER TODAY BUT LOTS OF CLAD


It's getting harder to find spots so I had to travel - met D about 45 minutes away then ended up over an hour from home.  We hit some parks and a school - I did find 5 wheat pennies but some of the dates are hard to read so they are soaking.  I also had my best single coin day of the year finding 39 coins and over 3 bucks in clad. Also found a coin/token - will let is soak.
My friend D has an E-trac to my safari - either the e-trac is a more superior detector or I'm doing something wrong.  D found 2 times as many coins as I did basically hitting the same areas.  I may be swinging too fast since I normally use a DFX which is much lighter and you can swing it faster.  I will have to try and slow my tempo down.  Will post wheats later.
Update on the coin/token - it is a coin a Canadian penny - date 1915 it's soaking now and hope to get a picture of it later.

MOTHER'S DAY SILVER




I hit a couple of places where I have found silver lately.  The first spot only yielded a couple of wheat pennies and clad.  Spot number 2 was better - didn't find many coins but did manage a rosie and wheat penny.  Will post pics and totals later.  The silver roll continues. I forgot a dime and 2 pennies - will add later.
