SILVER AND WHEAT WEEKEND

I had a short time to hunt Saturday morning before taking a trip to visit a college my daughter wants to attend.  I did manage a wheat penny and other pennies at a local school before I had to go. Got back late afternoon and tried the woods only finding a clad dime.
Sunday it was not raining but had a mist in the air.  I wanted to try an area I've had luck before with the minelab just to see if I could find anything deep.  I had some luck finding a Washington quarter and a silver ring. My only finds but I'll take it.  Hurricane Sandy is moving up the coast - the rain is supposed to start tonight and last until Friday.  At least the ground will be soft.

CAN'T WIN THEM ALL

I met my friend after work yesterday and we tried a different part of the woods.  We didn't have a lot of time to hunt since it now gets dark by 6:00.  Needless to say we didn't find much of anything - I found a memorial penny and my friend found nothing.  This late in the season I'm interested in the home runs and not singles.  Maybe the next hunt will bring something - I hope.

WEEKEND HUNT FINDS SILVER

I went to a new place to hunt - another wooded area hoping to find some older coins.  No such luck - I did find a quarter and penny - clad of course and some poison ivy.  Got to watch where I'm hunting.
  Sunday morning I went back to the old school that has been hot for finding silver.  The ground is now nice and moist and the detector is going deep.  I managed clad - 3 wheat pennies and a silver quarter - about 8 inches down.  Most of the coins were deep. 
  In the afternoon I went to a friend's house that was built back in the 1800's.  I found a silver washington there before but no such luck again.  Just some pennies and a clad dime.  Maybe next time.

STREAK ENDS AT 3 BUT...

The end came Tuesday after finding 1800 coins 3 days in a row.  My friend and I didn't find much but I did manage to find a wheat penny - #100 for the year.  I not worried too much about finding the clad anymore though I found 2 memorial pennies, but trying to find the older coins and silver.  The year was kind of a wash out due to the hot summer.  So I may as well see what the woods and hopefully some private property have to offer.

BACK TO THE WOODS ANOTHER 1800 COIN

I met my friend again after work to try the woods where I found my 2 cent coin.  Still haven't found the foundation yet but are finding coins.  I found my 3rd 1800 coin - a 1865 Indian penny - my first this year and my friend found the first silver - a 1893 Canadian dime.  So now we know that there is silver there. Between us that's 4 1800 coins - he also found a wheat penny.  We could find more once the weeds go down. We may try it again later in the week. 

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.
