SUNDAY HUNT - BACK TO REALITY

Well I tried a different school Sunday morning but where I have found silver and wheats.  No silver but did manage one wheat penny and clad. So I went back to my "hot spot" and gave it another shot.  This time no silver and very little coin.   I went to try a school this afternoon but it's soccer season and all the fields were being used.  Gives me time to see where I'll go this weekend.  Still looking for my nickel with the safari.

SAFARI PROVIDES BEST SILVER DAY

My "new" safari arrived this morning - after putting it together and watching some videos, I went to a local school to see how the machine worked - I've hunted this place to death.  In about 25 minuets I found 2 silver dimes and a wheat penny - had to stop because of the rain.  When the rain stopped I went back to the school - found another 2 silver coins and 4 more wheat pennies.  This is my best silver day ever - "old record was 3".  I'm still getting use to the VDI numbers - different than the DFX and the sounds.  I'm going to have to go back to the spots I've found silver in the past and give it a shot - hopefully I can beat the total of finds from today.  Not much in clad - no nickels and lots of stinkin lincolns - got to get better with my numbers.

SAFARI

Just bought a minelab safari yesterday - should be shipped today and hopefully here by the beginning of next week.  It was a toss up between the safari or a fisher but couldn't find a CZ3d at a decent price.  Will have to see if the minelab is as good as they say they are.

SUNDAY HUNT

I met up with a friend to hunt an area I've done fairly well in. But before I met him I hit a school down the road.  Managed to find my first "silver" coin there after finding many wheat pennies - a war nickel but I'll take it.  I then met my friend and we hunted in the woods at a park - we ran into another TH - who happens to live by the park.  He hunts it everyday and had found a lot of old coins - no wonder I was having a hard time finding turn on the century coins - he was finding them all. I did find 3 wheat pennies but not much else.  I thought I had a secret spot but there goes that theory.  Back to the drawing board.

WORK - MORE WORK AROUND HOUSE

I didn't get a chance to metal detect today - had to go into work and put final touches on the school so the kids can mess it up in a week.  So I decided to caught up on some chores around the house before fall sets in.  Plan on meeting a friend tomorrow and hopefully find some treasure.

SCHOOL YARD HUNT

Hit the local school a couple of days ago after the rain storm we had.  The ground was softer but not quite as moist as I thought it would be.  I was finding coins deeper - but none of them were old - 2 1965 dimes and 2 1964 nickels along with a 1959 - always the wrong coin.  Going back into the 90's tomorrow - can't seem to catch a break with the rain.

CATCHING UP ON THE ODDS AND ENDS

Went golfing with my son this morning so it took my off my road trip for today.  Instead I went to home depot and got a few things I needed to get some work done around the house.  Got close to 90 again today and the ground is back to being dry and hard.  It is supposed to rain tomorrow and be a little cooler.  Before you know it winter will be here so I hope to get my work done.
