RESEARCH PAYS OFF - FOUND SEATED DIME



My research has finally paid off.  I found a place that had lots of history so I met up with T and he drove to the spot.  There is a lot of ground to cover so we'll have to go back - I managed only 1 coin but it was a good coin - my first ever seated liberty - a dime.   We were hoping one of us would find one with the past history.  T managed a clad quarter.  Another coin off the wish list and my 45th silver coin this year.

MONDAY A WASHOUT

Well I was waiting for the weather to clear and hopefully get a hunt in on my day off but it never happened.  It was just a very fine mist enough to keep me inside.  Wasn't how I wanted to spend the holiday but at least I didn't have to go to work.

TOO MUCH GOING ON THIS WEEKEND

It was just one of those weekends that just had too much to do.  Saturday my son had a football game then my daughter wanted my to visit her at college so there went the day.
This morning I tried a place along the canal for a couple of hours only to find a clad dime then more time the son and I actually saw my Steelers win a game.  Next week they're on late so I can spend more time detecting.
Tomorrow is a holiday so I plan on getting out somewhere - again getting hard to find spots to go.
