VERY SLOW WEEKEND

Saturday morning I tried the beach before the heat arrived - not much in the sand - only some pennies and dimes.  Haven't had much luck here but the ground is rock hard and the sand is easier to dig.  We did get some rain Sunday morning and I decided to hunt a local school in the afternoon.  The rain did nothing for the ground - managed only 3 pennies but one was a wheat.   All the hits were shallow about a couple of inches down.   Will post pics of the finds later - We could use days of steady rain to soften the ground but it's back to the 90's tomorrow.

SUNDAY HUNT IN THE WOODS

I was feeling tired after a long day and night Saturday and finally got some energy and hit a wooded area close to home.  I did manage wheat penny #53 and some clad - not much else.  The ground is really hard and very dry - need some rain to make detecting easy again.

SATURDAY HUNT

I went  to my family reunion and played golf in the morning instead of detecting due to a fine rain - off and on.  The sky cleared by the 6th hole and my golf game is nothing to write about.  I did manage to get out to the local high school after supper find just under a buck in clad and a silver ring.  The ground there was like a rock - very hard to dig - we need some rain soon.

WEEKEND HUNTS

I did manage to get out this weekend - will post finds and pics later.  Just tired from a long day Saturday with the family.

BACK TO THE BEACH

With the day off yesterday I hit the beach again early in the morning.  I had a little better clad day finding coins both in the sand and on the grass.  Still no jewelry.  I wanted to try an afternoon hunt but it was just too hot.  Plus the ground is dry and hard - we are in need of some rain which never seems to come once predicted.  It was nice to hunt in the middle of the week.

SUNDAY HUNT

Happy 4th of July

I did manage a short hunt on Sunday - went to a new school for me - the school looked new - still I tried it and found only 56 cents.  I covered lots of ground but very few hits.  Also it was hot and the ground is very dry so I may not be detecting as deep as I like.  But I got out.

FIRST BEACH HUNT OF THE YEAR

With all the hot weather we've been having I decided to hit a beach early in the morning.  I haven't done well at this beach but I wanted to try the DFX in beach mode.  I managed to find just over a buck in change - no jewelry and a surprise wheat penny in a grass area.  I may go back just to hit the grass and see what else I can find.
