TIED BEST SILVER DAY AND MORE

Well I tied my best silver day finds with 2  -- merc dimes - 1937 and 1942 plus I found an Indian head penny - 1908 - my second -  a buffalo nickel - 1920 my second,  and a wheat penny 1942.  This is my best day ever with finding old coins.  I started the day in the woods where I found nothing and ending up at one of my son's school finding the old stuff.  I did try a city school near the valley but only found 27 cents and a ton of junk.  I did do a lunch hunt yesterday and found 55 cents.  The clad total was low but that's okay - I'll take the older coins anytime.

QUICK LUNCH HUNT

Finally went out at lunch - no rain or games and I let my co-worker use my IDXpro while I used the delta.  I found a whooping 27 cents and so did my co-worker, but he found 2 wheat pennies - his first and second  a 1941 and 1948 and a ring.   Well that will be enough of that - got to give him back the delta.

JUST A PARK HUNT

I hit my favorite park in the morning and was planning the usual lunch hunt but a wicked thunderstorm hit knocking out power and flooding the area so there went that.   I did have a decent hunt at the park - the ground was wet from the night before and I was hoping to find some silver - no luck but did find a wheat penny and $2.93 in clad.  Another storm is predicted for today.

TOT LOT HUNT

I tried to go to a different school yesterday between the rain drops but the school was fenced along with a park that was close by so I couldn't hunt that either.  So I went to a tot lot that I hunted before and did manage one wheat penny, 2 canadian pennies and a buck 22 in clad.

HUNTED THE WOODS

Met up with some other hunters and we tried the woods where I found my 1820 coin.  I managed to find 3 wheat pennies,  - no silver today and a buck 42.   Another hunter found a silver quarter, buffalo nickel,  wheat pennies and clad - another found some wheat pennies and clad and the last found only clad.  We agree there are still some old coins to be had, but finding them is another story.
