GOT IN A FEW HOURS

After cooking the wife breakfast for mother's day I hit a school for a few hours.  I managed to find some silver - a mercury dime, a couple of wheat pennies and almost 3 bucks in clad.  It's now getting very warm when the afternoon hits but it's better than the cold.  I'm really liking my DFX - glad I got it.

COUPLE OF WHEATS AND CLAD

I went back to a spot where I've had luck with silver and wheat pennies.  No silver but did find a couple of wheat pennies. I'm going back to spots with the DFX to see if I find coins deeper or just plain missed them.  I think the later - because the coins were not that deep - but it may have read differently with the IDX pro.  Then I hit a field and found over 2 bucks in clad.

SUNDAY'S HUNT

Between working late and the kids on the computer I can finally post Sunday's findings.  Nothing old on this hunt - just clad but over $2.50 worth.  Not sure about getting out Saturday - may have to work - been getting my OT but need to get out and hunt on the weekends.

MORNING AND AFTERNOON HUNTS

Tried a new spot that someone told me had some history to it.  Didn't find much but clad, a dog tag and a key.  I then hit a school down the road and found a couple of wheat pennies and clad for a total of over a buck 50.   The sun had come out - finally - so I quit and decided to mow the hay field - I mean lawn since I hadn't done it yet.

After mowing the lawn I went back to the school where I found the wheat pennies and silver quarter.  I found plenty of pennies today - none of them wheat but did find another silver coin - a 1943 mercury dime.  Plus I found over 3 bucks in clad and a flat button. L met me there and she found .40 cents - she also explores looking for rocks but finding the coins was cool.   So overall not a bad Saturday.

MUCH BETTER SUNDAY

Got printer working - more pics later

I hit one of my old schools and finally found some silver - coin and ring.   Also found 7 wheat pennies and over $2.80 in clad.  My printer is down so I can't get pictures I hope to get it fixed soon.  I met a couple who were trying their Ace 250.  They said they had just started the hobby and plan on doing more hunting.

A SLOW DAY

Most of my Saturday morning was spent taking my daughter to a college open house.  I did manage a quick afternoon hunt at a park.  Didn't find much - have hit it a lot - found just over .40 cents.  Hope to do better today if I can get out.  Printer is malfunctioning - may not have pictures for a while.
