HUNTED THE WOODS

Met up with some other hunters and we tried the woods where I found my 1820 coin.  I managed to find 3 wheat pennies,  - no silver today and a buck 42.   Another hunter found a silver quarter, buffalo nickel,  wheat pennies and clad - another found some wheat pennies and clad and the last found only clad.  We agree there are still some old coins to be had, but finding them is another story.

LUNCH HUNT NETS 4TH SILVER COIN

Went out at lunch again and managed to find another silver dime - 1958-d, my fourth so far this year.  I'm way ahead of last year with the silver not finding my first coin until May.  I also found 35 cents.

LUNCH HUNT

Did a quick lunch hunt before the rain came.  Still finding coins even though I've hunted the area pretty well.  I think there is still some silver there so I will keep hitting it a little while longer.  Today's finds were a buck 48.

FIRST EVER LARGE CENT COIN

Went back to a wooded area where I had found a silver quarter and some wheat pennies.  It was slow going at first finding only a couple of memorial pennies and a quarter - then I found a 1941 wheat penny.  A few minutes later I had what I thought was another penny hit - well it was - I was not expecting to find a large cent copper 1820 yupeee!! I thought it was a token until I wiped it off.  My oldest coin to date.  Then I found a silver quarter 1957-d so this turned out to be a great day.  I will heading back in the woods soon.

TRIED A NEW PARK

I went to a park where my son had played baseball years ago and forgot about until my wife and I drove by last month.  It has 2 football fields and about 6 baseball diamonds - a lot of ground plus tot lots.  What I didn't know was how bad the drainage is there.  I couldn't believe it when I tried to walk around - the ground was still soaked.  Very disappointing.  I did manage 62 cents and will have to wait a month or so and try it again.
