GOT OUT SUNDAY
I did manage to get out for a brief moment Sunday hitting some woods. Didn't find much - only a clad dime but felt good to get out and swing the detector. May not be able to this weekend as they are calling for another winter storm. I'll have to wait and see if the predictions are true.

SNOW AND MORE SNOW
Well we got the storm they had predicted - just got a lot more snow. Was hoping to get only 3 to 5 inches but got over 2 feet. The snow is melting but too much still on the ground to get out and hunt. Maybe next weekend - it's not going to snow plus it won't be as cold.

LAST HUNT FOR THE SEASON????
I went out to a park with the racer 2 where I had found some old nickels and wheat pennies to see if I could find deep coins. Well I found coins - clad, not deep but did manage nails and foil deep. At least I got out which with the forecast may be the last time this year. In a lake effect snow warning until Monday so I'll have to see how much snow we get.

TRIP UP NORTH
Well I finally get a chance to put up a post about this past weekend. I went back home and saw my brother like I do every November. I did get a small window to detect and I was rewarded with a silver quarter and clad. Found the quarter where the old high school was located and where I went to jr high. Before getting into town I did a small beach where I went as a kid. Clad and tons of pull tabs. Over all not a bad weekend - silver and seeing my brother.

WEEKEND HUNT
Well I'm still trying out my Makro racer 2 going to a park on Saturday and then a place where I found 3 large cents. Not much in the way of old coins and less in clad. I am getting those deep nails and foil still - need to get better at what a good target is. I will keep trying.

FIRST SILVER WITH THE MAKRO
I met up with T on Saturday and we tried a couple of parks that have given in the past. T found a wheat and clad while I just found clad. I brought T home and hunted a park by his house. I found a old Canadian penny, wheat and my first silver coin - Rosie with my Makro. It was about 5 inches down.
Sunday I hit a school where I know there are coins but I've also found silver and wheats. No luck with the latter but did manage over 5 bucks in clad. most of the coins weren't deep but I'm getting a better feel and hearing on the tones for coins. Still found junk deep but hopefully that will change.

SUNDAY WITH THE RACER
Saturday was a complete wash out as it rained all day. I tried to take advantage of the soaked ground on Sunday again with the Racer 2. Still trying to get the feel and understanding the sounds the tones. I did manage a little clad and not much else. I went to spots where I've had silver finds hoping for the deeper digs. Still getting the nails and foil deep. The highlight was finding a Canadian 2 dollar coin.

WEEKEND HUNT WITH THE RACER 2
I got my new racer 2 on Friday and went out bright and early Saturday morning. I wanted to try some spots that I had found silver and older coins to test the depth but the spots were taken by kids playing ball. I did hit other (proven) spots but found only clad. I need to get the tones down between coins and bottle caps. I did find a junk gold plated ring.
Sunday I hit the park - I got a wheat penny and key but not much else. I need to more practice with the racer before I can give a decent review.

COLUMBUS DAY HUNT
I did get a bit for Columbus day - back to where I found the reale. I only found 2 coins, a 1910 wheat penny and a clad quarter. Lots and lots of woods to hunt plus I know it's been hunted by lots of people. Still there are coins there - just got to get the coil over them.
A WEEKEND FOR CLOSER
Didn't get any detecting this past weekend due to the fact my Uncle, who was in the Korean war and missing for years was finally identified and return to my family. The family met Friday night for dinner and the ceremony was on Saturday to lay him to rest. Though it was a funeral - it was a happy occasion due to the fact that he was found and we now know where he is. Now we have closer.

MONDAY HUNT
I had the day off from work yesterday and took advantage of it. I hit a park in the morning and found some clad along with a silver Rosie.
Then in the afternoon I met T and we hit the area where I found the Spanish reale - lightning did not strike twice. All we found was a clad dime and that was at the exit of paths to the woods. Still I got to hunt on a Monday so I can't complain.

ANOTHER BUCKET LIST COIN
Boy do I love detecting in the woods - peaceful and you just don't know what you're going to dig up. I joined a club and got a bucket lister with the same coin. I'm now in the 1700's club after I found my first Spanish reale - 1781 couldn't believe it. I also found a 10 dollar bill so this was definitely a good Saturday. I will return.
Sunday was back to the park. I did manage 3 wheat pennies and over 5 bucks in clad. Using the small coil has helped with the chatter - the park is full of junk but still lots of coins to be found.

GOT A WAR NICKEL
I got in an extra day detecting yesterday when I met up with T. He wanted to try some woods so I suggested a spot and when I got there it was now POSTED. So we tried a different area and the coins were not jumping out at us. I found a nickel and a penny and T did manage a Rosie. When we got back to our vehicles I cleaned the nickel and noticed it was silver - 1943P war nickel. So we both ended up finding silver.
