ANOTHER 1800'S INDIAN HEAD PENNY


I haven't been finding lots of coins but I have been finding them in the 1800's.  I got another Indian head penny - this time 1870.   Still hoping there are some silver ones there around this time frame.  We shall see.

LAST TUESDAY'S FIND



I had to wait until I could clean the coin better but I might have made it worse.  It's a 1867 Indian head penny - my third 1800's Indian this year.  I hope I can get some silver around that time frame - seated!!!

AN INTERESTING WEEKEND






Saturday morning the rain was coming so I decided to hit someplace close.  When I arrived I saw another hunter whom I met before we talked a bit and detected but  the rains came and that flash of lightning so we got out of there.  After the rain quit we met back and detected some more.  D found nothing and I found an Indian - my second 1800's coin for the year.
Sunday morning I went back to the spot - hunted a while and then found this small round object.  This object turned out to be a three cent coin - my first ever.  Wow, this coin is small - it's in bad shape but I'll take it - just wish there was a way to clean it.  That's one of the bucket list.  Not sure of the year yet.

A SLOW WEEKEND

Didn't find much this past weekend - not detecting on Saturday and only finding a wheat penny and penny on Sunday.  We got needed rain on Sunday but I still managed to hunt in the woods - Saturday was an errand day.

MEMORIAL DAY HUNT



Well I went to my sister- in- laws for Memorial day and gave the yard a quick hunt.  Found a wheat penny and a mercury dime then it was time to eat .  Next time I go of course I will bring the detector.  So far I've had good luck there - hope it stays that way.

BACK TO THE WOODS - SILVER



                                                               Happy Memorial day.  

The weather was going to be hot so I got out early Saturday and hit a school where I've found silver before.  Didn't find any but did find a beat up wheat penny, a ring and not much else.  I did find over a buck in clad.
Sunday I decided to give the woods one more try and glad I did.  I found another barber dime along with 5 clad pennies.  I've had good luck in these woods - mostly on the beaten path - nothing really in the woods themselves except for bullets, casings.
Today my sister-in-law is having us over for Memorial day.  I plan to hunt her yard again - the first time finding 2 wheat pennies including a 1909.  Hope I can get some silver.

WOODS YIELDS ANOTHER SILVER




Well they say to keep hunting a place that produces and this spot is.  Another silver coin - this time a quarter - my first for the year along with a couple of wheat pennies and a button.  But I think I'm going to have to leave this area as the growth is starting to really fill in.  This will definitely be a fall hunt for sure.
