HOT SPOT CONTINUES TO GIVE




I went out for a couple of hours this morning - cold and windy - and hit my hot spot.  Well it continues to yield the silver - found a mercury dime and 6 wheat pennies and some clad.  Had to get back and celebrate the wife's birthday - can't miss that.  Hopefully it's a bit warmer tomorrow.

AT PRO ON THE WAY

I traded my minelab safari for a Garrett AT- Pro.  Should be arriving by the end of the week.  I had good luck with the safari having one of my best silver days ever but with limited places on land to hunt - going in the water would be the next step.  Plus I've heard about the depth of the pro so I can't wait to try it out.

SILVER STREAK CONTINUES


I met up with D yesterday and we hit a different city park - tried an area where the kids slide - only found clad and a foreign coin - D found an Indian and wheat penny.   So we tried another park of the park - had better luck there - got my second canadian dime and first war nickel of the year out of the same hole.  Managed to get over 2 bucks in clad.
