I live for the weekends and can't wait to get out and metal detect. But today and the next few Saturdays I won't be out doing my thing. My son is on the JV football team so watching him play is going to be the #1 priority for a while. His game was at 10am and on the road so by the time I got back home it was early afternoon but the rain paid a visit. Will have to try and get out tomorrow morning.

THURSDAY HUNT
I didn't have to work yesterday so J and I hit the road and tried a few spots. First was a park where D found his seated dime - nothing, then a park down the road - again clad. So we drove to a park where I had some luck - just clad and another park and a area where a school use to sit. Clad. J has the right idea - knock on doors. So I think our next trip that's what we're going to have to do - everywhere the spots are just getting hunted out. Need to clean my finds and post.

QUICK LABOR DAY HUNT
Got out to a late start - daughter was home from college - had to bring her back so I didn't have much time to hunt. I met J and we rode around and asked for permission to hunt some properties. We did receive permission at the second house - built in the 1850's - hunted for a while and found nothing. Then back to my hot spot but we didn't have much time - managed a wheat penny and a memorial. We had some bad storms and the ground was just too wet anyway. Will try it again soon. J got permission to hunt a home and found a busted cap dime and large cent earlier.

JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS
I met up with J and D and another hunter J we tried a school that has been around awhile. The ground was mostly fill but J#1 did find a flat button. Not finding much we tried along the erie canal but the grass was too high and a shut down factory but it has a blue state sign saying it was historical so we hit a park. This park was at a lock along the canal and again nothing. We hit a park D has hunted before and a guy riding his bike said we could hunt his house which was built back in the 1800's. Nothing there and only a few of wheat pennies at the park. D and J#2 found them and then J#2 had to go. D had another spot in mind and J found a wheat. Overall the four of us found little clad and just 5 wheat pennies. The spots looked great but we just couldn't find anything. Just one of those days.

SATURDAY HUNT YIELDS SILVER
I met up with D and we hunted a park with lots of history. I've had luck at this park before finding some large cents in the woods. We hit the park area first - D found a few wheat pennies along with clad and I found a Rosie along with clad. We then tried the woods but found nothing. It will have to be a fall project - just too much growth. My total - 5 dimes, 1 penny
