Metal Detecting

MORE AT THE MOVIES

Saturday was a nice day but I decided to be an extra one more time. How many times will I get a chance to be in a movie, I can always go metal detecting. So there went my Saturday.
Sunday I stayed close to home with the threat of rain - I did manage a wheat penny and some clad before the rains came. It was fun being part of a movie - hopefully I can get another chance.

INTERESTING WEEKEND

Eddie Mekka - aka Carmine of Laverne and Shirley

Well Saturday started out with rain so I saw an article the night before about a movie needing extras. The building wasn't far away and I always wanted to be an extra so I decided to give it a shot. I was there most of the day and shot a few scenes.
Sunday was nice and I did get out to detect. I managed to find an Indian head penny and buffalo nickel along with clad.
Memorial day again was raining so I went back to the studio to try some more acting. I won't be quitting my day job but had fun and seeing how a movie is made. So overall a very interesting weekend.

FINALLY GOT SOME SILVER

Saturday I met up with T and we hunted the park by his house. He has had good luck there finding a few barber dimes and recently a half cent penny. Though never of us found silver, T found a couple of wheat pennies and I found a V nickel and ring. I also found lots of clad including 5 quarters in the same hole.
Sunday I went to a spot where I had one of my dime trifecta's using the Marko 2. I did manage to find my first silver coin in a while and also a couple of wheat pennies. I'm getting better with the Makro, not digging up as many nails but I really haven't found deep coins with it. Hopefully soon.

CLAD THE MAIN TOPIC AGAIN.

Another weekend gone by and another post about - clad. Saturday I got a late start because of the rain, didn't travel far from home because of the threat of rain - went to a school and found some clad before the little league decided to pay a visit.
Sunday I went up to T's neck of the woods - again only finding clad. At least I'm getting out but I need to get some new spots to hunt - I wish the rain would happen during the week so I could get out more on the weekend.

WET, WET WEEKEND

For the first time in a long time I didn't get out to swing the detector. The weather man had the fore cast all wrong. The rain started early Saturday morning and didn't stop until Monday. The only good this is the ground is nice for digging. Hopefully this weekend is much better.

ANOTHER WEEKEND WITH NOT MUCH TO TELL

I doing good in the clad department but not much else to write about. I traveled Saturday to a couple of spots where I've had luck in the past but only clad, a junk ring and button. I also hit a new spot in the woods where some foundations are and found nothing.
Sunday I met up with J and we hit a park and school. The park was just clad and at the school I got a wheat penny and earring. I did have a good dime weekend finding 20. But I got out so that's the best part.

NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT

Well this past Friday and weekend - I did get out but found nothing to write home about. I didn't stay out long but I did manage to find clad where I hunted. I tried some areas with history but to no avail. Now it's back to work this week - ugh. Next time I take a vacation I hope I have better plans but I did get a nice rest.
