HOT SPOT PRODUCES 1ST SILVER QUARTER THIS YEAR

I met my friend K and we hit my hot spot on this wet and cold morning.  Really couldn't hunt like we wanted because the spots I wanted to hit were just about under water.  Having that record rain on Thursday, rain on Friday didn't help much.  But I did manage to find my first silver quarter of the year - a Washington and a silver ring.  So the silver streak continues.  Also found a couple of wheat pennies. K found some wheat pennies, clad and a silver pin.   It's going to take a month before the ground dries out enough to hunt my "sweet" spot again. Am I ever glad I asked permission to hunt this site.

NEW SPOT BECOMES HOT SPOT - 3 SILVER DAY

Well my new spot has become my latest hot spot finding 3 silver dimes and another 9 wheat pennies.  Also found the usual clad - the coins are DEEP here.  One of the dimes was almost 10 inches down.  I think I found the "sweet" spot and will hit this area hard.  I hope this is just the beginning of multiple silver finds. I have the wheat pennies soaking as they are not in the best of shape and need to clean the clad and will post my findings hopefully tomorrow.  Slowly getting the pics in. Got to check the wheat pennies.

NEW SPOT PRODUCES

Had the day off on Tuesday and tried my new spot.  It didn't disappoint finding another mercury dime and 9 wheat pennies along with over 3 bucks in clad.  And I've barely hit any of the grounds.  The spot I want to try needs to dry up a little but with the rain coming tomorrow and Friday it may be a bit before I can try it.

BACK ON THE SILVER TRAIL

Went to a school where I've had luck with the silver bug but it wasn't to be Saturday.  I didn't hunt long because I knew it was going to get hot.  I started early and was sweating an hour in.  I manage 2 wheat pennies and some clad.

Today was a much better day - I was thinking of a place to go so I decided to try a firehouse that was an old school.  I talked to the chief and he said it was okay - I told him if I found anything of historical value I would give it to the department.  Well I did find an old button off a uniform and a token with the dept. name on it.  Also found a couple of wheat pennies and a mercury dime - my first silver in a few weeks.  Once I told the chief what I found he said I could hunt the property any time.  I will take him up on his offer since there is a lot more ground to cover.
