LONG WEEKEND HUNT

I got in an extra day of hunting with having Good Friday off - found some silver so it wasn't a bad weekend. Still getting use to the new "At Max" - seems to be a nice machine and I am finding some deeper targets. I would like to try it though in a not so trashy area - these local parks and schools are full of trash - may go in the woods sometime. Also found a very small silver ring.

SILVER WITH NEW DETECTOR

I guess the only good thing about winter is the overtime I work. I put a little a side each check to get me an AT Max machine which arrived on Saturday. I met up with S on Sunday and hit a local park where the ground was showing still have lots of snow on the ground. I managed to get a mercury dime, junk jewelry and clad. This is a nice machine and can't wait to really use it when the snow melts.

BRING BACK FEBRUARY

Another weekend gone by and another weekend no metal detecting. March has been a terrible month so far - bring back February, it was warmer and I got some detecting in. This week is supposed to be cold too so looks like I won't be going out again.

STILL WAITING

Again the snows came before the weekend adding to waiting time before the melting begins. And we are expecting more snow this week and not so warm temps - looks like detecting will be a while. Bring back February - got out more then.

NOT THIS WEEKEND

Well, the latest storm put a halt to detecting this weekend. My area got over 16 inches of snow so it may be a while again before I get out. There could be another storm Wednesday, it should miss us but time will tell. After all - it is Central New York so we are a long way from being out the woods for snow.

TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE NICE WEATHER

I met up with T the last 2 days and we took advantage of the nice weather to do some detecting after work. Monday T had a good day finding a V- nickel and some wheat pennies while I found clad and yesterday I found a wheat penny and we both also had clad.
Today will be another nice day but we both can't make a day out of it.
Snow is back in the forecast for Friday.

FIRST SILVER OF NEW YEAR

Saturday I was going to meet up with T but he couldn't make it so I hunted the park by his house. I managed to find my first silver coins for 2018 - a Canadian dime and a Rosie. The Canadian dime is in the 1800's. Also got a wheat penny.
Sunday I did meet up with T and we hit several old spots - I found a wheat while T had a good day finding a barber quarter and dime.
I sold my V3X and now hoping to get the AT Max since my Pro died and I have 4 coils for that type machine. I hope to order soon.
