RAIN SHORTENED HUNT


It had rained earlier in the morning then quit for a bit.  I decided to give it a try but of course once I left the house it started to sprinkle.  I got to my school of choice and found a wheat penny right off.  Then the rain came down harder - I did manage a quarter and penny before I had to call it quits.   I purchased a Dfx Whites Spectrum E-series with a 10"x12" DD SEF Butterfly coil and a 5" Detech DD excelerator coil and a set of Auvio Wireless headphones with jack and charger for $600.  Should get it next week - can't wait.

WOODS AND SCHOOL HUNTS


Hit some woods and a couple of schools.  Did manage a wheat penny and another Kennedy half dollar - my third so far this year.  Had my best nickel day in a while finding 5.  Overall not too bad weather wise - a little cool, hopefully warmer tomorrow.  Only a few weeks left I think to hunt the woods.

STAYED WITH THE WOODS


I kept up the woods hunting on Sunday - didn't find coins like last week but did manage some.  No old coins but did get a Kennedy half dollar.  The weeds are starting to grow and the bugs are making their guest appearance.  I figure only a couple of more weeks then it's back to schools and parks.

HIT THE WOODS


                                                      information on the key





I met up with L and we hit the woods where I found my last large cent.  No big coins today but did manage to find a couple of wheat pennies. Also found a key.  L found some square nails and no coins.  We then decided to hit a park - I found another wheat penny, 24 cents and 2 canadian pennies - L was not so lucky.  Hope to get out again tomorrow - the weather is going to be cooler after Sunday.

A MUCH BETTER SUNDAY


I decided to try a school first before I ventured out into the woods.  I wanted to find some coins since I wasn't finding many in the woods.  I had a real good day finding close to 6 bucks and a wheat.   Kind of made up for the past couple of weeks.  Then I hit some woods finding a zinc and wheat penny.  Later in the evening I did a short hunt finding another 35 cents.

VERY SLOW WOOD HUNT

Went back into the woods - found only a dime and I couldn't believe it was a modern one and not silver from the location I found it and another in a small park.  The park had been hunted over finding plugs in the ground.  So the grand total was 20 cents - better than being shut out.
