WASH OUT

Yesterday was a wash out - rained all day - hope to get out and give it a try today.  Plan to hit a park or two. 

Last few hunts

I did a couple of lunch hunts and one in the park.  Nothing old, just the usual clad.  The take for the hunts were - 6-q, 3-d, 1-n and 13 pennies for a total of a buck 98.  23 coins.

Monday afternoon

I went back to the school where I had my century day.  Didn't hunt as long cause I had my son with me and I went to new park later.  Not much clad but I didn't get a chance to hunt a lot of the park - it's huge so I will return there too.  My take for the day was $3.60 - 10-q, 8-d, 2-n and 20 pennies - 40 coins.

First century day + 3 rings

Well today I had my first ever century day finding 107 coins plus 2 canadian quarters - $9.96. I also found 3 rings, bringing my total to 33, a dog license and a token. I tried a new school and got lucky finding all those coins. I was on a roll till the wife called and needed me to come home. I will hit this place again. That IDX pro is a coin magnet. HH

Afternoon hunt

Went to a school where I had found a couple of wheat pennies.  I managed to find 1 wheat - 1941 and $2.84 in clad.  The loot was 6-q, 11-d, 5-n and 9 pennies  -  29 coins.  I used the delta today - seemed to be working better - I could use the sensitivity around 9.

boy scout medal

I found this a few weeks ago that my friend returned after he tried to clean it - it was found around a house that burned down in 1935.  I found a lot of farm stuff and metal and this was the closest thing to a coin.  The boy scouts were associated with the vets in WW1 - maybe that's why the WW1 type uniform.
