ANOTHER1800 COIN

I went back to the woods this afternoon and gave it another shot.  I''m hoping to find an old silver coin back in the 1800's but instead found an unusual coin - a canadian penny.  I find canadian coins all the time but not back in the 1800's - still I'll take it.  It means there are more old coins to be found - maybe even silver.  This penny was made from 1850 to 1857 only so it's in that time frame.  Too bad the date has a huge dent on it - so I'll never know the exact age.
Saturday I went back to where I found all the wheat pennies - again hoping to find silver but only found another wheat and a 1947 nickel.  The silver is calling - just have to find it.

ONE OFF THE LIST

I met a friend after work to try and find an old foundation in the woods.  The weeds are still too high but did some hunting anyway - managed one coin but it was a good one.  I found my first 2 cent piece - 1869.  Will be hitting this spot again once the weeds go down.  

MY BEST WHEAT DAY

I traveled on Sunday to a new park for me - looked promising on the map but when I got there - first there were guys playing football and second - it looked like the park had been filled.  I did hunt next to the tot lot and when I dug - yep filled in dirt - rocks, junk etc. So I hit a spot where an old school had stood and found nothing there.
Monday after spending time with the daughter and son I finally got out to hunt.  I hit one of my favorite parks and started out well finding 4 wheat pennies and a zinc.  A gentleman I met before came out and asked how I was doing - told him about the wheats and he told me what he had found - barber quarters and an Indian.  So I hit an area I barely hunted before - I was hitting wheat after wheat and some clad.  I was hoping a silver popped in but no such luck.  I ended the day with 10 wheat pennies - a new record for me.  I will hit this spot again - maybe some silver will show up.  Also found a 1942 nickel.

HAD A GOOD MONDAY

Sunday wasn't a good day but Monday was much better - will have more details when my wheat pennies get done soaking and I can get a picture of them.  I was hoping to get silver in the mix but no dice.

SATURDAY HUNTS

After the morning rain I had to get out and try a couple of schools with the nice wet ground.  My first school I have hit many times and tried a different field.  I did manage a silver dime (Rosie) and a couple of wheat pennies.  That was with my safari going across the field.  Then I tried my DFX - once I remembered how to use it - up and down the field.  Didn't find as many coins but did find my quarters with it.  Found a lot of pennies - they were deep around 6 - 7 inches down so I thought I would have found more wheat pennies but not the case.  Then I hit my hot spot with the DFX and found a wheat penny - kinda deep - the ground had a very hard surface - thought it would have been softer but seems the rain got soaked up.

HOT SPOT KEEPS ON GIVING

I tried my hot spot again for about an hour yesterday and had some good luck.  Managed to find another silver quarter and 2 more wheat pennies.  That's the 7th silver coin I've found there.  The coin were about six inches deep.  Really liking the safari - just got to get use to the tones. Also found a penny.

A RAINY SUNDAY

Didn't get a chance to get out Sunday - was hoping to hit a friend's house but the rains came as I was going to meet her.  Then it just never quit.  We could use this soaking rain though - should make the ground better for hunting.
