WHAT'S UP WITH THE WEEKENDS ???

I don't know why but during the week for the most part the weather is warmer and nice.  Then comes the weekend then cold and snow.  Supposed to be cold Sunday then in the 40's on Monday and most of the week.  Must be a curse of just normal central NY weather.

QUICK HUNT AT LOCAL SCHOOL

I went back to the school where I had found my peace dollar.  No luck today just finding some clad and a token.  Maybe next time but I can't believe I'm hunting in February - the weather has been great.

SAME SPOT - ANOTHER WHEAT

I went back to my current hunting spot - no silver again but did find another wheat penny #6 for the year so far.   Still have lots of ground to cover and so I'm optimistic about finding more silver.  Found over a buck 60 in clad including a lot of pennies and a cub scout tie clip.

3 WHEAT PENNIES AND CLAD

I went back to the area where I found the 1916 Merc, no silver today but did manage 3 wheat pennies - 2 in the same hole.  There has to be more silver around now that I've found the wheats.  It was a muddy hunt but well worth it.  Found over a buck 50 in clad and a Canadian penny.

COLD HUNT IN THE WOODS = SILVER

The weather was cold but not as cold as predicted earlier in the week.  So I hit some woods and didn't have a bad day.  I found my my 3rd silver coin for the year - a 1916 mercury dime, a Kennedy half dollar(first this year) and 43 cents in clad.  I can't believe I have found more silver coins than wheat pennies so far.

DETECTOR WHO NEEDS A STINKIN DETECTOR?

While I work today I found a quarter, a Canadian quarter 1949 which I think is silver.  Didn't need a detector but it's more fun with one.  Since I found it at work I won't be counting it toward my totals - just a nice eyeball find.

NOW I FOUND A REAL ONE

Well I hit a school that I've hunted in the past and had some good finds there.  Today I tried behind it where the woods are and found my "real" first peace dollar.  I thought I found one earlier this year but it was a two headed copy.  I had to look twice to make sure it was the real deal.  Got to hit these woods again.  I also found over $2.40 in clad so not a bad day.
