3 RING AND BEST NICKEL DAY

I met J and we tried a couple of new schools today.  The first school was built back in the late 50's so silver was possible.  Neither of us found any but I did find 3 wheat pennies and 2 silver rings - my first this year plus a lot of nickels.  Then we tried another school built around the same time - nothing for me but a "possible" gold ring and J found a wheat.  Not banking on the gold - no writing inside the ring.   Then we hit a school we've hunted before and just clad.  But overall a good ring day plus my best nickel day ever.

WEEKEND HUNT

I met up with T last weekend and we started  where I found my old coin spill.  Neither of found much of anything so we decided to try a park where he and D had found silver.  Nothing for me but clad and T found a couple of wheat pennies.
Sunday I did a short hunt in some woods - again only clad but did find a silver spoon.   I hope I can do better this weekend - weather permitting.

Finally got some time to put last weeks hunts on the blog.  Friday I hit the woods where I found my old coin spill - no silver but did manage 6 wheat pennies and some clad
Saturday I met up with J and we hit some new schools - J managed a wheat penny and just clad for me.  Nothing on Sunday - spending time with the wife's family for Easter.

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.
