THE RAIN IS BACK

Didn't get a chance to hunt yesterday as I got called into work and the rain has come back.  It's supposed to rain again today and Saturday.  Let's hope the weather man is wrong.

SHORT PARK HUNT LEADS TO SILVER

Went this morning to a park where I had found 6 wheat pennies thinking there has to be silver there.  Sure enough found a silver Washington quarter about 5 inches down - 1941.  I was finding memorial pennies deeper.  My 11th silver coin this year and 3rd within the week.  I hope this trend keeps up.  Also found a buck 14 in clad  4-q, 1-d and 4 pennies.  Who needs that other school???

DONE AT MY FAVORITE SCHOOL??????

I had a schedule change yesterday and went to where I found my 2 silver coins along with my son.  It was after 5pm and the school was full of activity.  I went to the area where I found the SLQ and did find a wheat penny #60 1945 - for the year and not much else.  A woman came over to me and said she was the Director of athletics and saw me digging and asked if I was a member of the school.  She said she didn't want me digging in the field because of the sports and not being a member.  There goes my best spot for finding old coins in the city.  Hopefully something can be worked out but I'm not counting on it.   ARGH!!!!

New school

Went to a different city school this morning and found another person detecting - the first time I've seen someone.
He had been there a while so I wasn't counting on finding too much. He did find a gold pendant so I hope there is more out there. I managed to find a wheat penny  1942 and a buck 8 in clad  4-q, 1-n and 3 pennies.  The weather was weird today - raining, snowing then sunny but cold.  I didn't stay long as my son called and needed me home.  I will hit this school again.

BROKE SILVER DROUGHT IN BIG WAY

I finally had a 2 silver coin day and found my first standing liberty quarter.  No date but I will take it - found it where I found my V and buffalo nickels.  Also found my 5th merc dime  1935.  Plus I found an old button, some other items and $4.57 in clad  - 13q, 8-d, 6-n and 12 pennies for 39 coins.  I met one of my followers  - Joe - who lives in Jamesville - he e-mailed me and we met at this school.  He has an Garrett Ace 250 detector.   He found his first silver ring and dog tag - a 1948 license.  He has found 3 indian head pennies and a large cent in his yard.

RAIN

Well it's raining again this morning plus my schedule change means I won't be hunting.  The one good thing about the rain is that with the wet ground the detector seems to go a lot deeper finding coins.  May get out this evening depending on the weather and if I can find a place to hunt.

Short park hunt

Went back to a park where I've had luck finding wheat pennies - 5 total - - still trying to find silver(not again today) and did manage to find wheat penny #6 - 58 overall.   The penny was in the plug which surprised me because I had dug a couple of memorials at least 8 -10" down.  The penny was a 1950.  My take was 52 cents - 4-d, 1-n and 7 pennies - 12 coins. No quarters today.
