PARK HUNT

It's getting harder to find spots to hunt - I met with D and we tried a park where I've had luck before - clad for me and D found a couple of wheat pennies so we left there and went to my hot spot.  D found a couple of silver coins and me wheat pennies.  I was talking to someone who works there saying someone else has hunted the spot.  I had to obtain permission to hunt it and my fellow hunters respect me enough that they won't hunt the spot without me since I found the location but I guess some people do what they want.  I don't mind sharing - just give me a call.  From now on I just won't mention any details of the spots I hunt - like I said,  it's getting harder to find spots to hunt .

PAID TO METAL DETECT

A co-worker lost something so my boss wanted me to bring me detector in and try to find it.   Well I didn't find it but did manage a wheat penny and clad.  A bonus day - work and metal detecting.

SATURDAY HUNT

Well after deciding where to go I met up with D and we hunted the park where I've had some luck lately.  But Saturday the luck ran out - I found a couple of wheat pennies and not much else and D even less.  We just couldn't find a spot we wanted to detect now that the city parks are "off" limits.   Hopefully this weekend we will have at least an area to hunt.

4TH OF JULY HUNT

Again I went up to my uncle's camp and did my usual hunting at the local school.  I was hoping to get silver this year since I found some wheat pennies there last year.  My wish came true - finding my first silver coin there - a mercury dime.  Also found my share of clad.

AWAITING WORD

Have not heard anything yet from the commissioner of parks after e-mailing him on Monday.  I hope he gets back to me so we can resolve this issue and start hunting in the city parks again.

SHORT HUNT SATURDAY

I met up with D and we started at one of the city parks.  About a hour in we were approached by a gentleman saying he was the commissioner of parks saying that metal detecting in city parks wasn't allowed.  We told him that we and others have been hunting them for years - he knows and he was open to suggestions about how to allow detecting.  We suggested issuing a permit - he said to e-mail him which I did so now I'm waiting for a response.
So we left and hit a couple of schools.  D found some wheat pennies and me just clad.  Hopefully we can still hunt the parks.

ON DL LIST

I fell at work and messed up my right shoulder so I couldn't get out this past weekend.    It is getting better so by this weekend I hope to get out.  Boy I hate missing a weekend especially when it was as nice as it was and not due to weather.
