NOW I FOUND A REAL ONE

Well I hit a school that I've hunted in the past and had some good finds there.  Today I tried behind it where the woods are and found my "real" first peace dollar.  I thought I found one earlier this year but it was a two headed copy.  I had to look twice to make sure it was the real deal.  Got to hit these woods again.  I also found over $2.40 in clad so not a bad day.

A HUNT IN THE PARK

I wanted to try a park I thought was county land but when I got there it was "state" land.  The park is old by the history that was available at a booth.  No one was around but knowing my luck someone of authority would have shown and who knows what after that.  So I hit a park down the street which I have hunted before.  Didn't find much then and didn't find much yesterday.  I thought it my be a good day when I hit a 1946 Canadian penny hoping there were some more older coins but turned out not to be the case.  And it was colder with a strong wind that didn't help.  So I hunted a few hours finding under a buck.  Hope to hit some woods today.

HIT THE WOODS

I gave it a shot in the woods where I found my large cent earlier this year - wasn't expecting a lot in change but was hoping to find another old coin.  No old coins and only 37 cents in clad found in open areas - nothing in the woods.  There's got to be more older coins - I couldn't have found the only one.  Will hit it again soon.

FINALLY GOT OUT

It was finally a nice day and I took advantage of it and hunted the school where I last found my mercury dime.  No silver today but did find wheat penny #2 and just under a buck in clad.  I also found a boy scout tie clip.

FOUND 72 CENTS BUT....

I found 72 cents yesterday while cleaning the grounds.  Since I didn't use my detector I'm not going to count the finds to my total.  But it was nice to find some change and  now I want to get out and use the detector - hoping this weekend.

ANOTHER WEEKEND GOES BY

Well another weekend is almost over and I didn't get a chance to get out and swing the detector.  Today was a decent day but I didn't have the time.  Tomorrow the warm weather and rain return and it's supposed to be nice all week and hopefully the weekend.  Not quite light enough to go after work yet but that will soon be approaching.  Back to the maps and books.

RESEARCH

Didn't get a chance to get out this long weekend - cold plus the snow on the ground.  So I've been doing some research on areas I would like to hunt and maybe find the older coins.  Not counting on this weekend coming up but maybe in 2 weeks - keeping my fingers crossed.
