LUNCH HUNTS FINDS 2 MORE WHEAT PENNIES

On Monday's hunt I managed to find over 2 bucks in clad and wheat penny #125.  I can't believe the amount of coins I'm still finding and a wheat to boot.  Tuesday I found a dollar, could have found more but someone was asking about metal detecting so I couldn't hunt like I wanted too.  But it's makes you feel good when people ask your opinion on the detecting.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND

Friday morning I met L and we hunted some woods that I've wanted to try.  The area has some history so we were hoping to get on old coin or two.  No such luck - all we found was a penny(memorial) but we will hit it again.   The growth is still kind of thick so it was hard trying to swing the detector.  I did manage to find a wheat penny = 1918 I think - outside the woods and a quarter.  At lunch I found over a buck 50 and two Canadian coins.

Saturday I hit a park that I haven't hunted in a while.  Did okay - found nothing old and later in the day I hit a school and some woods next to the play area.  Found some coins but again - nothing old.  My take was $2.75.

Sunday morning saw me going to some familiar ground finding my 124th wheat penny for the year.  Later in the day I hit a school and found just over a buck in clad.  Not much in the way of old coins but did get a nice clad total for the weekend.

THE PAST FEW HUNTS II

I've been getting out at lunch time while I can.  It's getting darker earlier and earlier so that will be coming to and end soon.  I did manage a morning hunt  and plan to do more since it will be the only time of day I can get out until the weekend.   My take for the hunts was over close to three bucks.

THE PAST FEW HUNTS

It starts with a lunch hunt on Friday - still lucky to find coins 83 cents worth.   Saturday I had a late start due to my son's mandatory sports meeting which lasted most of the morning.  I went to a spot where I've had luck before but not this day.  Only found pennies but 2 of them were wheat.  7 cents was the net.   A woman came up to me who metal detects - she is her 70's and she says she loves the hobby. She has found some nice coins - a half dime and older coins in her yard.  Funny who you run into these days.

I started Sunday at my new favorite school with a very wet ground.  No silver today except for a ring that was sterling + 14K and a bracelet( not sure if it's junk - only marking was a P).  People started to show up so I left.  I then hit another school this evening where I found 2 more wheat pennies and my second Kennedy half dollar.  My total for the day was over 3 bucks.

Sept. 11 marked with new memorials to the dead

Nation pauses to remember on 10th anniversary of attacks 

 Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

With the second aftermath of a hurricane to hit the area, the rain has been horrible.  We probably got over 5 inches yesterday and it's supposed to rain again today.  I did manage to get a lunch hunt in Tues. finding just over a buck 50. At least the ground will be nice and soft for digging.

LONG ROUGH WEEK ENDS WITH SILVER

I didn't get out much this week working 10 hour plus days, 2 lunch hunts and limited hunting on the weekend.  I did however find my 23rd silver coin and 118th wheat penny today which made up for the rough week.  I hope to get back on schedule and get some good hunting in.  My take for the week was slightly over 2 bucks.
