QUARTERS AND DIMES

 I met my friend T at a park where he did some research - the park used to be the high school football field back in the day.  We were trying to find the sidelines and where the bleachers would have been.  I managed to find clad - quarters and dimes - T found a war nickel and a wheat penny.  He thinks the findings are where the bleachers were.  We didn't find much else.  He will go back and try to check the area again.  I found over 3 bucks in change.

QUICK HUNT AFTER WORK

I met up with J after work at my hot spot.  The ground was very wet and very light rain on and off.  I did manage to find a few wheat pennies and clad quarter but not much else.  Hopefully I have better luck today - just not sure where to hunt.   Will post pennies as soon as I clean them.

A BONUS COIN

Along with finding the 3 Rosie's I found 8 wheat pennies and and Indian head penny - didn't know I had it till I cleaned the coins - wasn't expecting to find that there but definitely a bonus.  With the 8 wheats I have over 200 for the year.

3 SILVER SUNDAY

While my football and  baseball teams lost today I did have one bright spot.  I found 3 silver dimes - all Rosies -( 2 in the same hole) at my hot spot.  I also found some wheat pennies which I will post after I clean them.  D found a merc and a very very worn barber quarter - 1903.  The ground was muddy in most places but well worth the dig when you find silver.

IT'S SATURDAY AND I DIDN'T METAL DETECT

I live for the weekends and can't wait to get out and metal detect.  But today and the next few Saturdays I won't be out doing my thing.  My son is on the JV football team so watching him play is going to be the #1 priority for a while.  His game was at 10am and on the road so by the time I got back home it was early afternoon but the rain paid a visit.  Will have to try and get out tomorrow morning.

THURSDAY HUNT

I didn't have to work yesterday so J and I hit the road and tried a few spots.  First was a park where D found his seated dime - nothing, then a park down the road - again clad.  So we drove to a park where I had some luck - just clad and another park and a area where a school use to sit.  Clad.  J has the right idea - knock on doors.  So I think our next trip that's what we're going to have to do - everywhere the spots are just getting hunted out.  Need to clean my finds and post.

QUICK LABOR DAY HUNT

Got out to a late start - daughter was home from college - had to bring her back so I didn't have much time to hunt.  I met J and we rode around and asked for permission to hunt some properties.  We did receive permission at the second house - built in the 1850's - hunted for a while and found nothing.  Then back to my hot spot but we didn't have much time - managed a wheat penny and a memorial.  We had some bad storms and the ground was just too wet anyway.  Will try it again soon.  J got permission to hunt a home and found a busted cap dime and large cent earlier.
