CLAD - LOTS OF CLAD

I met up with D and we went to a city park.  Again he's e-trac really out did my safari finding twice as many coins along with some silver.  I did manage 2 wheat pennies and a fake gold ring along with over 5 bucks in clad - best day of the year so far.  There was tons of trash as I think I found as many twist caps as I did coins.  We will hit this park again now that we know there is some silver to be found there.

NO SILVER TODAY BUT LOTS OF CLAD

It's getting harder to find spots so I had to travel - met D about 45 minutes away then ended up over an hour from home.  We hit some parks and a school - I did find 5 wheat pennies but some of the dates are hard to read so they are soaking.  I also had my best single coin day of the year finding 39 coins and over 3 bucks in clad. Also found a coin/token - will let is soak.
My friend D has an E-trac to my safari - either the e-trac is a more superior detector or I'm doing something wrong.  D found 2 times as many coins as I did basically hitting the same areas.  I may be swinging too fast since I normally use a DFX which is much lighter and you can swing it faster.  I will have to try and slow my tempo down.  Will post wheats later.
Update on the coin/token - it is a coin a Canadian penny - date 1915 it's soaking now and hope to get a picture of it later.

MOTHER'S DAY SILVER

I hit a couple of places where I have found silver lately.  The first spot only yielded a couple of wheat pennies and clad.  Spot number 2 was better - didn't find many coins but did manage a rosie and wheat penny.  Will post pics and totals later.  The silver roll continues. I forgot a dime and 2 pennies - will add later.

WEEKEND HUNT NETS SILVER

Wasn't feeling the best the past week and weekend but gave it a shot - hunted close to home just in case.   Did manage 2 wheat pennies on Saturday (pics later - soaking) and clad.  Hit a park, school and another park.
Sunday still not feeling great and again stayed close to home but did managed 2 silver dimes and 2 wheat pennies, a 1947 nickel and clad. I also had my best nickel day finding 9. Plus I found my oldest silver this year - a 1918 mercury dime.   I was on vacation the end of the week and got sick - I wanted to do a road trip Thursday but never made it out of the house.  Well my hunts were short but sweet - finding silver just makes the day.

UNDER THE WEATHER

Been a little under the weather the past few days.  I did manage to sneak in some hunts close to home finding a total of 4 wheat pennies and 2 silver dimes.  Will put pics and other details later.

ANOTHER SILVER PLUS WHEATS

Well I went to my friend's K house and he took me to a place where a school use to sit.  We tried the lot and I did manage a mercury and some wheats and a ring - lots of trash.  There is an old church across the street and we ask permission to hunt it - built back in the 1840's but the ground was full of metal - new fill.  Then we hit a canal park but not much there - my friend did find a wheatie and some clad. 
Then we went to lunch at his house and then hit some of his neighbors yards.  Not much just some wheat pennies and clad.  He is still using my DFX - he's loving every minute of hunting he can get.  We'll see what next week holds.
