LAST HUNT FOUND SILVER

The weather has been decent so I've been out detecting. I managed to find a silver dime and wheat penny on probably my last hunt for the year.   This year has been a good year for my silver count - not a record but close, also finding 3 seated dimes was great. I hope 2020 will be a great year too. I wish every one a Happy New Year and happy hunting.

MAYBE LAST HUNT FOR THE YEAR??

I did manage to get out a bit on Saturday though it started cold. I had a nice day finding 2 silver and 3 wheat pennies plus a couple of religious items. I wanted to get out Sunday but the wind chill was too cold. Now with the snow it's a waiting game to see if it melts before the end of the year.

THE PENNIES KEEP ROLLING IN II

It's been a while since I've posted anything - I've still been detecting - just not finding a lot. I did though find a couple of Indian head and wheat pennies. Back in the silver slump.   Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
The weather is colder (of course) since I'm off work for a few days but I do plan on getting out. Hopefully I can get back on the silver trail again.

COLD WEEKEND

The weekend was cold - Saturday I didn't even attempt a hunt. Sunday I waited a bit and got out with T. We hit some woods first then a park. My only coin was a wheat penny very deep. The park grounds were very soft and wet. The weather should be warmer this week and weekend so looking forward to that.

FINALLY GOT SOME SILVER

Well my silver drought ended in a big way Saturday - I found a walking liberty half dollar - it was unexpected as I thought I found a quarter the way it rang up. I'll take it.
Sunday I hit another local park with a friend and found an Indian head penny plus lots of clad.

THE PENNIES KEEP ROLLING IN

I'm in a silver slump but the wheat pennies keep me going. I got an added bonus finding myself a large cent, my first in a while hunting an old church.. T got permission, he found an Indian head penny so we both did well. Hopefully this weekend I can get back in the silver column.

A WHEAT PENNY WEEKEND

I'm finally getting around to write a quick note about last weekends hunt. No silver but did find plenty of wheat pennies and clad. I'm hoping this weekend I can get back in the silver column.

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AND END

Well I got out this past weekend hoping for a good day of hunting - with the new update on the nox, but the only thing I found was clad. I had some nice target hits but only memorial pennies or clad dimes. I did have a nice breakfast at the local store/deli.
Sunday I met up with a friend but started at a local school first where I did find a wheat penny, that was the only good find for the day. We tried the woods but nothing was getting under the coil. Oh well, can't have sunshine everyday but it's still good to get out. I hope next weekend I can start the silver streak again.

THE SILVER RUN CONTINUES

Saturday I met up with T and hit my latest hot spot - T had a nice morning finding a silver ring and wheat pennies while I found another mercury dime and wheat pennies. I'm loving the new upgrade from minelab on the nox. Nails are not coming up like they use too.
Sunday I went out with a co-worker and found a wheat and clad.
Monday was a day off and I hit the park again and found some wheat pennies and a Rosie. I have found more silver dimes this year than all my silver total from last year.

My silver run continues finding it both days this past weekend. Saturday I hunted with S and found a mercury dime and wheat pennies. Sunday I hunted with some co-workers and found a quarter and Rosie along with wheat pennies plus a silver ring. The weather was fantastic and I hope it stays warm for a while knowing what's coming soon.

A VERY GOOD WEEKEND

I had a very good weekend of metal detecting - Saturday was an iffy day for rain so I hit a local park and found a nice old pocket spill consisting of 3 mercury dimes, an older Jefferson nickel and 4 wheat pennies. Later I found another wheat penny, and Indian head penny and silver quarter and some jewelry.
Sunday I was in the woods with some friends - I got a couple of tags which were neat. I'm having a nice silver year so far and I hope it keeps up. Not much in the way of clad.

SILVER AND WHEAT PENNIES

I managed to keep my silver streak alive finding a mercury dime in the woods. Fall is right around the corner and I'll be starting to hunt the woods more often. Plus I will be hitting the road too, I've had some luck traveling.
