Metal Detecting

A NICE WET WEEKEND

I had a good weekend detecting though on both days I saw some rain. I found coins and a token from the 1800's and little clad. I manage to find my second every shield nickel - this one is in much better shape than my first one. I also got a barber dime.

STILL GETTING OUT - SILVER, WHEATS AND CLAD

I've been out the past several weekends - I did manage a silver dime and ring along with clad but nothing really to write home about. With fall coming up soon I plan to get back in the woods. Rain is in the forecast - we need it - the ground is rock hard. We'll see what this weekend brings.

A GREAT WEEKEND - SILVER AND MORE

I had a very good weekend finding 4 silver dimes, wheat pennies and a small ring. One of the dimes is a 1897 O Barber, I usually don't find them with mint marks. I'm already looking forward to next weekend.

SILVER, LOTS OF NICKELS AND WHEATS

I had another decent weekend finding a silver dime, buffalo nickels and wheat pennies. I can't believe all the nickels I found including 10 alone on Sunday plus a buffalo. My hunting partner has officially moved to North Carolina - but he will come up north every now and then. It August already - time is flying by and I'll be back in the woods soon.

MORE SILVER AND WHEAT PENNIES

After my vacation I've been getting out some - the heat has been terrible but I've been fortunate to find some silver dimes and wheat pennies plus the usual clad. I think this coming weekend is going to be cooler - that will be a nice break. I'm also losing a detecting buddy T - he is moving to North Carolina for a new job, but he has invited me to come down once he gets settled in and do some detecting. Can't wait for that.

UP NORTH HUNT

This past weekend I was on vacation and went up north to see my brother. I did manage a couple of short hunts including my sister-in laws new property. She has 17 acres of land with lots of woods. I did find a wheat penny and 1946 nickel - so it looks promising - I'll have to go back in the fall when the growth is down and do some exploring.

SILVER AND WHEATS

I did get out for a few hunts - my vacation is done and I did manage some silver dimes and wheat pennies. The ground is like concrete - we need some rain badly. The week is going to be very hot - looks like I'll be staying indoors with the AC - until it cools down a bit.
