SATURDAY FINDS

Well I met up with D and T and we went to some areas the T had wanted to hunt. The first area had some history but we found just clad and the ground was hard to dig. The second area was posted and the third overgrown. So I suggested an area - had some better luck - D found a rosie and T and I found wheat pennies. T had to leave so D and I went to another spot - D found nothing and I found a wheat penny - my second 1909 lincoln but this time no VDB.   We tried our last spot - D found a rosie and me clad.   We did some traveling - but it''s places where they've been hunted to death. Need to find that spot that no one had been too. That may be very hard to find.

SUNDAY HUNT

I met up with D and we hunted some areas where he has had some nice finds. The first spot he found a V nickel and we both found some wheat pennies. The next spot he found a mercury dime and me just clad. I talked to my friend T and he has found some nice silver at this spot as well so I will have to try it again.

DAY OFF

No detecting yesterday due to taking my daughter back to college for her second year. Boy am I getting old. It was kind of a wet day anyway - but family first.

THE WEEKEND

Well Saturday was a day off as I went to the bay at my uncle's camp - didn't get a chance to hunt but spent some quality time with the family.
Sunday I met up with D and we hunted the spot where I found the large cent. We both found wheat pennies and clad. D is kind of the the DL as he hurt his back - not fun when you're trying to dig.

FOUND MY OLDEST COIN TO DATE

Did a solo hunt yesterday as D and another friend M had plans for the day. My hunt started slow then I hit a wheat penny - so I was hoping for some silver. Never found it but did manage to find my oldest coin to date - a 1808 large cent. Took my by surprise - wasn't expecting to find that but I'll take it. Found a couple of more wheat pennies and a token.

ONE OFF THE BUCKET LIST

I met up with D and we were off to a slow start.   The hits were slow in coming but I managed 3 wheat pennies right off then we had to move because of a women's softball tourny. We hunted another area and I got some clad. I cleaned my coins and notice I found my first 1909 lincoln wheat - a VDB. Wish the S was there but I'm happy finally getting a 1909.   Then we drove to a different spot - again the hits were slow - but I did manage silver but it took a while. So not a bad Saturday.
