MONDAY A WASHOUT

Well I was waiting for the weather to clear and hopefully get a hunt in on my day off but it never happened.  It was just a very fine mist enough to keep me inside.  Wasn't how I wanted to spend the holiday but at least I didn't have to go to work.

TOO MUCH GOING ON THIS WEEKEND

It was just one of those weekends that just had too much to do.  Saturday my son had a football game then my daughter wanted my to visit her at college so there went the day.
This morning I tried a place along the canal for a couple of hours only to find a clad dime then more time the son and I actually saw my Steelers win a game.  Next week they're on late so I can spend more time detecting.
Tomorrow is a holiday so I plan on getting out somewhere - again getting hard to find spots to go.

AFTER WORK HUNT NETS SILVER

T worked in my building today so we decided to try my hot spot for a quick hunt after work.  We both managed to find silver - me a washington quarter and T  a merc and a rosie plus wheat pennies.  Then the bugs became too much so we called it quits.  I can't believe we're still pulling silver out of there but we'll take it

PAST WEEKEND HUNT

It's been a very busy week so I haven't posted last weeks finds yet.  Didn't get too much hunting in with the son's football game and the rain - managed to find a wheat penny and over a buck in clad.  My gadget column is not working so I can't update anything over there.  Hope that gets fixed soon.

BACK AGAIN THIS TIME WHEAT PENNIES

I went back to the hot spot hoping to get some more silver - not this time but I did find some wheat pennies.  It's been a very good year for wheat pennies finding over 230 this year.  With spots getting harder to find and hunted to death I'm really lucky to have found so many.  Now I can't wait to get into the woods and see what goodies I can find there.

HOT SPOT STILL GIVING UP SILVER

I tried a section of the erie canal but will wait till fall to let the growth go away so I went to my hot spot.  Managed to find some wheat pennies and my first standing liberty quarter this year - no date.  This place is a silver mine - still finding it although it's getting harder now but it's still there.  One of my best places to hunt.

SILVER SUNDAY

I met up with D and we hit a new part of the park we have hunted before.  Looked very promising but wasn't what we thought although  D found a SLQ with a year - 1926.  It was hard finding any coins.  So we hit the park - nothing so I suggested we try school down the road - lots of clad but I did find a Rosie - my first old coin and silver there plus some wheats.  Then we hit an old church where we both found wheat pennies.  So we both ended up with silver for the day.
