MONDAY HUNT

I had the day off from work yesterday and took advantage of it. I hit a park in the morning and found some clad along with a silver Rosie.
Then in the afternoon I met T and we hit the area where I found the Spanish reale - lightning did not strike twice. All we found was a clad dime and that was at the exit of paths to the woods. Still I got to hunt on a Monday so I can't complain.

ANOTHER BUCKET LIST COIN

Boy do I love detecting in the woods - peaceful and you just don't know what you're going to dig up. I joined a club and got a bucket lister with the same coin. I'm now in the 1700's club after I found my first Spanish reale - 1781 couldn't believe it. I also found a 10 dollar bill so this was definitely a good Saturday. I will return.
Sunday was back to the park. I did manage 3 wheat pennies and over 5 bucks in clad. Using the small coil has helped with the chatter - the park is full of junk but still lots of coins to be found.

GOT A WAR NICKEL

I got in an extra day detecting yesterday when I met up with T. He wanted to try some woods so I suggested a spot and when I got there it was now POSTED. So we tried a different area and the coins were not jumping out at us. I found a nickel and a penny and T did manage a Rosie. When we got back to our vehicles I cleaned the nickel and noticed it was silver - 1943P war nickel. So we both ended up finding silver.

BACK TO REALITY

A week after finding my bucket list coin I was hoping for repeat performance. Not to be - Saturday I hit the park and did find a decent amount of clad but that was it. It was over 3 bucks - nothing old.
Sunday I went North and met a friend, H and we hit some woods with lots of trails. I did manage to find a flat button but that was the only old thing, also finding clad. We will have to wait about a month when the growth goes away and we can hunt right in the woods. Time will tell.

BIG BUCKET LIST, SILVER, CLAD

I met with T on Saturday and he wanted to try a spot he knew in the woods. It was a drive to get there but well worth the trip -at least to me.   Took some doing to get there but when we did my first hit was a big bucket list find - my first ever barber half dollar. I couldn't believe it. We hunted a few more hours finding nothing else then tried another spot that I knew - I found a wheat penny and clad while T found clad.
Sunday I went to the park and tried a different strategy - using a small coil instead of the tornado. I did manage a silver dime and lots of clad. So for me a great weekend.

SILVER RING, CLAD

It wasn't a totally bad weekend - I was skunked on Saturday detecting an old rail road line now a trail. The potential was there but not the coins - at least I got my exercise as I walked a few miles.
Sunday was back to the park where I found a silver ring and clad.   That made up for Saturday.

I did get out this weekend plus Labor day - found 2 wheat pennies and lots of clad. I was also putting tile down on the kitchen floor and decided to slice my finger - hard to type this so I will update in a few days.
