GOT SOME SILVER AND MORE!!!

I've been a little lax in keeping up with the blog but it's almost the end of the year. I'm totaling my last few hunts and found 3 more silver coins along with some wheat pennies and lots of clad. I'm hoping for one more weekend before the end of the year.

UPDATING LAST FEW HUNTS

I've been a little lazy lately - having not posted in a while but I wanted to build up some finds to post. I did find some silver, Indian head and wheat pennies plus clad.   I hope I can get out a couple more times before the year ends. I've had a good year - hopefully I can end it that way too.

LAST WEEKEND HUNTS

Friday after work I met up with a few other hunters and we hit a local park. It was a nice group hunt where I found 8 wheat pennies and I candian penny
I put the 6 inch coil on the nox and tried my spot where I've had luck the 1800's coins. Didn't find any but did find 2 Indian pennies and 2 wheat pennies plus clad.
Sunday was very cold and the snow was in the air. My park was closed and I only hunt for a couple of hours finding clad.

BACK TO REALITY II

No silver this past weekend, only 4 wheat pennies and lots of clad. Saturday I went on a road trip with T but he had to leave for family reasons. That's where my wheat pennies came in.
Sunday I met J and another hunter where we found lots of clad. We had a school all ready to hunt then found out it was private. Oh well back to the old maps.

A VERY SILVER WEEKEND

Saturday I had the pleasure of hunting with S and J. I was fortunate to find silver, - my first barber dime of the year along with buffalo nickels and wheat pennies. S and J both found wheat pennies and clad.
Today I had a great morning finding 3 more barber dimes along with 8 wheat pennies. I can say that this is my best day and weekend for finding silver. My take for the weekend is 4 barber dimes, I mercury dime, 2 buffalo nickels and 10 wheat pennies. I'm loving the nox - now what do I do with the Max? I found very little clad.
