ANOTHER SATURDAY WASTED

The snow and the cold won out today along with taking my daughter to a college fair.  Tomorrow the weather is supposed to warm up so I hope to get out and make up for today.

SNOWY SUNDAY


I hit a couple of parks today - one was new - probably one of the oldest parks in Syracuse.  I picked up Gopher and tried the older park first.  Wasn't bad at the beginning then mother nature let us know who was boss.  We hunted in a white out about an hour and it got cold.  Not much luck - finding .90 cents and tons of trash.  We then hit a park I hunted before and had found some wheat pennies.  The snow was coming and going and then the ground became wet and muddy.  It was nice when the sun came out but that wasn't for too long.  I found just over 50 cents there.  Only 1 wheat penny found by gopher.  Hope next weekend is warmer.

WARM - WINDY DAY - HIT THE WOODS


Finally a nice warmer day with a lot of wind.  Tried the woods again and met up with L for the first time this year.  She didn't find much and I found over a buck and 2 wheat pennies.  Speaking of pennies I did have a good penny day finding 30.  Need to find the silver - maybe next time.

DEDICATED OR CRAZY




We had some snow fall yesterday but today is a nice sunny day so I decided to hit the woods.  The snow was about 2 - 4 inches deep -  I got to walk a tight grid since I could see my footsteps.  I did manage a wheat penny and 37 cents in clad - a lot of pennies again.  Hopefully next weekend will be better.

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.

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.
