Decided to change the blog around - one to make it more about detecting and two to get rid of some of the clutter. Plus I hope it is easier to read the posts.

CCOOOLLDDD!!!!!!!!!
Went to a new school today, built back in the 20's - the former high school and now the admin. building - hoping to find some old coins but no such luck. Found only clad - I think the ground has been resurfaced where I hunted so on a warmer day I will try in front of the building. It was a short hunt because of the wind which is very cold. Still managed a decent take finding $2.72 cents. My digs were 6-q, 9-d, 5-n and 7 pennies. I also found a canadian quarter and a baseball medal. 27 coins - 28 total. Wish it wasn't so cold, I would have stayed longer.

GAVE IT A SHOT
I went back down by the Erie canal again just to try a quick hunt. It was much colder than I thought - the wind was terrible. Again I didn't find anything but did manage to find 11 cents when I went through the park. At least I wasn't skunked this time.

QUICK PARK HUNT
Went back to my favorite park since this will probably be the only day this week to hunt in the morning. The good ole central NY weather is supposed to get cold and snowy again. Started out by finding my 10th wheat penny - 1945 - of the year so far - but that's where the good stuff ended. At this time last year I had only found 1 wheat so I'm way ahead of the game. I did find a buck and penny 2-q, 4-d 1-n and 6 pennies - five of them zinc. The nickel was dated 1953 but I'm going to put it in with the clad count. I'm rating any nickel before 1950 as a keeper. 13 coins - 14 total.

TIP OF THE WEEK - CHECK AROUND GOPHER HOLES
When searching areas with gopher or woodchuck holes, always check the dirt they dig out. You just may find a coin the rodents have dug for their hole.

FIRST EVER GOLD
Went to a couple of city schools - one new one I've hunted before. The new school I didn't find much only 2 dimes - there wasn't a lot of ground to cover so I went to the second school. I've had luck there with wheat pennies - which I did find one 1954, some jewelry and a 14k gold cross - my first ever gold. I thought I found my first silver of the year but it was a 1966 quarter. I also found $2 and 3 cents - 5-q, 7-d and 8 pennies 20 coins - 21 total. Also found another key - lost count on them.
