SLOW DAY IN THE PARK

Went back to the park for just over an hour and I think that the coins are running thin.  I only manage to find 55 cents 2 quarters and a nickel. The date of the nickel is 1948 - still some old coins left.   There is still some areas I need to try and hunt more since I've been concentrating on the areas where I have found the silver and most of the wheat pennies.  But at least I didn't get skunked.

RAIN IS BACK

Well the rain has returned and it's looks like it's going to stay until the weekend.  Hope to try it again some morning but will have to wait and see.  The wind is really kicking today too. 

ANOTHER HUNT IN THE PARK

Went back to the park - it started out well - found a 1944 wheat penny right off then nothing but clad.  I still think there is silver there - just need to find it but I did find a wheat.  My take today was a buck 46 -  4-q, 3-d, 2-n and 6 pennies - 15 coins.

BIRTHDAY SILVER

I turn the big 5-0 today and went for a quick hunt when the weather cleared up.  Found myself a birthday gift - a  silver rosie 1953-d dime.  Along with the barber dime I found yesterday I can say it's been great a great birthday.

THE BIG 5 - 0 TODAY

I hit the half century mark - in age that is - the big 50.  I'm off to a good start - I woke up this morning.  I guess the barber dime was a good b-day present.  Would like to get out today but I don't think the weather is going to let me.  Not supposed to be a good week for hunting - coins.

HOMETOWN HUNT YIELDS A NEW FIRST

I'm going to have to go home more often.  I went up north to visit my brother and attend the church bazaar. Went hunting with a friend who we were staying with this morning at the old high school now turned into a tot lot.  Found some clad on a playing field  - a 1946 wheat, then decided to hit a small area in front where the school used to be.  I manage to find my first barber dime - 1904.  My 13th silver coin this year.  We hit a school on Saturday only finding clad.  My clad haul for the weekend was 10-q, 8-d, and 12 pennies - 1 canandian quarter and 3 game tokens.   30 coins.  My friend found over $2 in clad.

VERY SHORT SCHOOL HUNT

Only could get out about an hour so I hit a school down the road.  Did find a wheat penny -1938- and some clad  -
a buck 20.  The take was 3-q, 4-d and 5 pennies - 12 coins.  I still think there may be silver there - finding the wheat pennies at different areas on the grounds.  Wanted to get out and try a park but the boy has a friend over and the wife is out.
