OLD GROUND


With the new 15" coil I hit some old ground to see if I could find some more goodies.  I went back to a spot where I found 3 large cents including my oldest.  Not much to brag about - a wheat penny and some clad.  Plus I found my first ring of the year - junk but I'll take it.    Then I hit a wooded area but used a different machine and found some clad.  Wasn't a bad day but it could have been warmer.  I'll have the tally shortly.

SHORT HUNT - CANADIAN SILVER



I had a meeting for work in the morning then my son wanted to work out so I got a late start yesterday.  I wanted to try one area but little league is in full swing so I had to try another spot.  My first 3 coins were 2 wheat pennies then a silver dime - Canadian then clad after that.  It wasn't exactly warm - the wind was cold so I hunted just a few hours.  Will post the pics later today.

SECOND EVER DIME TRIFECTA







I went back to the spot where I found 3 Indian pennies and thought there was silver about.  Well I was right finding 3 silver dimes - a barber, mercury and Rosie getting my second ever dime trifecta. No Indian heads but did find 4 wheat pennies along with clad.   Still couldn't find any nickels - maybe next time as most of the ground was dry - still some damp areas. Also found a token.

FOUND A LITTLE SILVER


I trekked a couple of hours in the woods and managed to find a silver Rosie,  a wheat and king George Canadian penny.   I can finally get in there with all the snow gone but there's still some pretty wet spots.  Then I hit the area where I had my century day last year and found clad.  It was just a morning hunt - the wind really kicked up so I  decided to leave.   No pics yet as my printer is down - hope to get it fixed or get another one today.

3 LITTLE INDIANS







I hit the road yesterday and went to a spot where I thought I could find some nickels,  D and I had luck there last year but instead I found 3 Indian head pennies - personal best for a day - 2 wheat pennies and clad.  I like this new 15 inch coil - the coins were deep - at least 8 inches down.  I know there has to be silver there - over half the ground was too soggy to detect so I will go back - this week is supposed to be nice.   I also found some old play money.

SHORT HUNT



Got out yesterday for a brief hunt.  The weather wasn't the best - not bad temp wise but the wind was brutal.  I did mange to find a wheat penny and some clad.  The ground was soggy in places so I will hunt this area again when it dries up more.  I want to use the 15 inch coil here - lots of ground to cover.  I also used my new pinpointer - I like it a lot - works great finding coins deeper in the hole.

PINPOINTER IS HERE

My new pinpointer arrived yesterday -  now I need the rain to stop so I can get out and try it.
