GONE FOREVER

Well I met T after work yesterday to hit the dirt piles one more time but the joke was on us.  When I got there the piles had already been removed.  Too late.  I had some good luck with those piles finding 4 1800's coins including my 3 cent piece.  I wonder what else was in there - I'll never know.
I did manage to find a quarter and penny - that was in the ground under the pile because the bottle caps were plenty.  Hopefully there is another pile of dug up dirt waiting for us. 

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.
