HIT A NEW SCHOOL

I decided to try a new school last evening not knowing for sure how old it was.  I did find a fair amount of clad - over 2 bucks and did find a 1921 buffalo nickel(had to use magnifying glass) to get the date - my 3rd this year and wheat penny #95.  I will have to get back to this school

EVENING HUNT

I went back to the local school and had another good clad day - finding over 3 bills.  Nothing old today - I think there is some silver there - will just have to keep trying until I get tired of hunting the place.  The ground was actually soft so digging was good.  I could finally dig decent plugs.  Road trip today with the family - hope to maybe hit a park or two.
Ran into another TH yesterday morning.  He has been hunting for around 9 years.  We talked for a bit and I gave him an area to hunt which he did fairly well find silver dimes and wheat pennies.  We plan on getting together for a hunt.

LUNCH HUNT ONLY

I got out for a lunch hunt yesterday between some rain drops - found over a buck 60.  We got some needed rain in the evening and hopefully it soaked in the ground.  We've had rain but it hasn't really made the digging any easier so I hope last nights soaking will soften the ground some.

YESTERDAY AND THIS EVENING HUNTS

I got a chance to do a lunch hunt yesterday then did a small hunt at one of my son's school while he was kicking the football around.  I manage over a buck 50.
I went to a local school this evening and did fairly well.  I found 3 wheat pennies, some junk jewelry and close to 3 bucks in clad. 2 of the wheat pennies were in the same hole.

A VERY GOOD WEEKEND

Started Saturday morning with 2 other TH's at a school I hunted once before.  We chose different areas to detect and by the end of the day we had all done fairly well - one finding a couple of Rosies and we all found wheat pennies and lots of clad.  Plus I found a silver and gold plated ring. It got hot so we called it a day,  when I counted my coin total, I was short of a century day so I went back in the evening, finding 3 more wheat pennies, another silver ring and I got my 100 plus coins. I found a total of 5 wheats and a 1946 nickel.   Cash total was over 10 bucks.

Sunday I started at a friends house that was built back in the 1800's - didn't find anything but will have to hunt the woods in the fall.  I had to pick up my kids at my sister in-laws and decided to hunt the church - glad I did -  found a 1951-d Rosie and a couple of wheat pennies. I say it was a good weekend.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS

Well it was one of those days that nothing seemed to go right or nothing was biting.  Only found 16 cents total - but better than not finding anything.  The ground is still rock hard even after what rain we did get a few days ago - just wasn't enough.   There's always today so let's see what happens.
