FIRST HUNT OF 2016

There may be some snow on the ground but I went out for a couple of hours this morning to do some detecting.  The ground is not frozen so I will be out there until it does or the snow is too deep.  I did manage my first wheat penny for the year and also a dollar coin.  Hope to try again tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - GOALS

                                         HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY HUNTING

2015 was an interesting year - my hunting buddy moved to California,  found my second ever 1800's silver coin and nothing from the bucket list.
Hopefully this year I can scratch off some coins from the list.   That elusive barber quarter is still evading me so that's #1 for this year.  Gold always makes the list and I'm hoping for a cap bust.  I did manage over 40 silver coins and 150 wheat pennies plus some large cents.  The nickel count was down - no V nickels last year.  Looks like travel again is in the cards along with research - I did find some new spots and a couple panned out.  As alwasy I'm looking forward to the new year - hoping to take advantage of my opportunities when ever I can get a chance to find a place to hunt and enjoy the great outdoors.   I wish everyone a safe and successful hunting season.

RAIN OUT

Never got the chance to detect yesterday as it rained all day.  Can't complain - it could have been snow.  It may warm up later in the week so detecting is not out of the question.

3 SILVER SATURDAY

The weather is still cooperating and I hit a ball field with a friend who got a new detector for Christmas.  I had a great day finding 3 silver coins along with 8 wheat pennies plus clad.  H didn't fair as well but is still learning the detector.  Can't believe I'm still detecting a day after Christmas.
