SUNDAY HUNT

Well I met J and we hit a school where T was going to met us. I managed to find a merc and some wheat pennies - J managed 2 silvers and T was just there. After we hit a park where D had luck finding silver but not us. So we hit another school where K and I hit silver. T and I found some wheat pennies and J found a merc so he had a 3 silver day. Overall not a bad day finding the silver and 5 wheat pennies plus over 3 bucks in clad.   My best coin day.

SATURDAY HUNT

I met up with J and we wanted to try the area where I found my seated dime. But when we got there the land was POSTED. I couldn't believe it. The owner is logging so no one on the property. So we hunted the local school then hit a park on the way back. I managed 3 wheat pennies, and IH that is soaking but it looks like 18?? and a canadian king george along with clad. Man I hate that I can't get up to that spot and hunt. It would have been great with all the weeds down and I had a plan of attack. So now I will have to do more research and find another area - hopefully it won't be posted

LIGHTNING DOESN'T STRIKE TWICE

I went back to my spot yesterday and my friend K met me there. I was hoping for another good day but lightning didn't strike twice. I did manage a wheat penny and some clad but that's all. Oh well, still had a great weekend overall. I will go back when more of the snow melts and I can hit some more area.

HAD A GREAT DAY

It was kind cool and wet in the morning but I went to a spot I've hunted before.   Had some luck there but yesterday I had a great day. I found a barber dime and my first coin spill of old coins.   In the spill were 2 mercs, 1 Indian penny, 4 buffalo nickels and 7 wheat pennies and part of a coin holder. I also found another merc and clad. I'm glad I didn't let the weather stop me - hopefully today will be another "great" day. I finally went over a dollar in clad but I'll take the older coins anytime.

FRIDAY HUNT

I took Friday off from work to take care of some errands. After I completed my one task and since I was in the area - I hit a park that D and I detected for a quick hunt. D found silver our last trip so I was hoping for the best. Not to be - just little clad and a wheat penny.   So I went on to finish my errands.

SILVER SUNDAY

I met up with J and we hit my hot spot from last year - most of it is still pretty wet and we were limited to where we could hunt. I did manage to find some silver - my 3rd coin this year and second dime. The only bad thing this time of year is that it's muddy and everything gets dirty. The week is supposed to be nice with little rain so hopefully things dry out some. Also found some clad.

FINALLY GOT OUT YESTERDAY

It's been a long time coming but I managed to get out and do some metal detecting. I hit a park - some of the ground was still frozen but there were spots that I could dig. My first find was a wheat penny then clad. It felt good to get out and swing the detector again. This week looks promising so I hope that winter is finally over.
