SUNDAY HUNT - MORE WHEAT PENNIES


I met up with D and we tried the same park as Saturday.  Neither of us found much though I managed a wheat penny so D knew of another park down the road.  When we got there I hunted this park a couple of years ago not finding much.  D said he had found silver there so we gave it a shot.  We did find some wheats and toward the end of the hunt D did pull some silver.  I was finding deep stuff but no silver.  We'll have to hit it again.  I will post some pics as soon as I can figure out the new format for pictures on my computer

SATURDAY HUNT NETS SILVER CROSS


It was cold and windy along with snow coming down but D and I tried a park that we have hunted before but not together.  He had luck in the past and did again finding 4 silver coins while I found some wheat pennies and a silver cross.  We hunted for a few hours before getting some pizza for lunch and warm up a bit.
