A VERY SILVER WEEKEND

Saturday I had the pleasure of hunting with S and J. I was fortunate to find silver, - my first barber dime of the year along with buffalo nickels and wheat pennies. S and J both found wheat pennies and clad.
Today I had a great morning finding 3 more barber dimes along with 8 wheat pennies. I can say that this is my best day and weekend for finding silver. My take for the weekend is 4 barber dimes, I mercury dime, 2 buffalo nickels and 10 wheat pennies. I'm loving the nox - now what do I do with the Max? I found very little clad.

A VERY GOOD WEEKEND - SILVER AND MORE

What a difference a change of location will do. I met up with J and we tried a spots I've hunted before and hadn't had much luck until Saturday. I found 2 Indian head pennies and a wheat plus lots of clad before moving to a park down the road. At spot 2 I found a V nickel along with wheat pennies.
Sunday it was back to spot 2 where I found silver - a mercury dime and a war nickel along with a buffalo nickel and wheat pennies plus a Canadian penny. So over all a very nice weekend.

I was off this past Wednesday and took advantage of it hunting a spot with some history and meeting up with T. Unfortuneatly we didn't find any - only a couple of wheat pennies but it was nice getting out in the middle of the week.

A QUIET WEEKEND

I went back to the spot where I've been finding my 1800's coins and as luck would have it I found another Indian head penny plus a wheat penny.   I found a few more wheats and little clad. Quiet but a good weekend.

BACK TO THE NORM - BUT NOT TOO BAD

Well my 1800's streak is over - barely though I came close with an 1902 V nickel. I also found 5 wheat pennies, a cheap ring and clad. I inserted the new upgrade on my nox 600 - still need a little more time to see if it really works.
The rain is coming down so I hope it really soaks the ground - it needs it.

GREAT WEEKEND - SILVER, BUCKET LIST

The nox just keeps on giving - had another good weekend finding 1800's coins and silver. I got a bucket list coin - though it's in rough shape but I'll take it. I found my first shield nickel. I also got another Indian head penny and some wheat pennies on Saturday.
Sunday I met up with S and I found 2 silver dimes, wheat pennies and a good luck token. So overall this was a very good weekend.
