QUICK HUNT ENDS SILVER STREAK

Went back to the hot spot for a very quick hunt after work - didn't have much time - just under an hour.  Managed about .78 cents and no silver or wheat pennies.  Couldn't really hunt where I wanted since the grass was being mowed.  This weekend is going to be busy with my daughter's high school graduation.  I'm not sure if I can sneak out to detect.

6 FOR 6 AT HOT SPOT



Saturday started at a school by my house where I found 4 wheat pennies and then went to a city park where I met up with D.  This park didn't have much to offer - found just a few clad coins.  So we decided to try another park which pretty much the same result - just could find anything although D found some wheat pennies and a buffalo nickel at the second park. 


My 17th silver


Happy fathers to all you dad's out there.  I had a great father's day present finding this walker half dollar - 1927s - at my hot spot along with a couple of wheat pennies. I'm 6 for 6 finding silver here.  D found wheat pennies and 5 mercury dimes.  The silver is there - ground has to dry up more so we can cover more area.  The detector was reading funny today - got lucky with the walker - thought it was a penny - glad I dug it.
