SUNDAY HUNT IN THE WOODS

I was feeling tired after a long day and night Saturday and finally got some energy and hit a wooded area close to home.  I did manage wheat penny #53 and some clad - not much else.  The ground is really hard and very dry - need some rain to make detecting easy again.

SATURDAY HUNT

I went  to my family reunion and played golf in the morning instead of detecting due to a fine rain - off and on.  The sky cleared by the 6th hole and my golf game is nothing to write about.  I did manage to get out to the local high school after supper find just under a buck in clad and a silver ring.  The ground there was like a rock - very hard to dig - we need some rain soon.

WEEKEND HUNTS

I did manage to get out this weekend - will post finds and pics later.  Just tired from a long day Saturday with the family.

BACK TO THE BEACH

With the day off yesterday I hit the beach again early in the morning.  I had a little better clad day finding coins both in the sand and on the grass.  Still no jewelry.  I wanted to try an afternoon hunt but it was just too hot.  Plus the ground is dry and hard - we are in need of some rain which never seems to come once predicted.  It was nice to hunt in the middle of the week.

SUNDAY HUNT

Happy 4th of July

I did manage a short hunt on Sunday - went to a new school for me - the school looked new - still I tried it and found only 56 cents.  I covered lots of ground but very few hits.  Also it was hot and the ground is very dry so I may not be detecting as deep as I like.  But I got out.

FIRST BEACH HUNT OF THE YEAR

With all the hot weather we've been having I decided to hit a beach early in the morning.  I haven't done well at this beach but I wanted to try the DFX in beach mode.  I managed to find just over a buck in change - no jewelry and a surprise wheat penny in a grass area.  I may go back just to hit the grass and see what else I can find.

TRIED A NEW PARK

It's getting to the point where I need to travel to find new hunting grounds.  I hit a park about a half hour away that seemed like it would be a good spot. When I saw the park everything was new - the benches, backstop and even the swings.  It's in the middle of no where which is why I went there.  Only managed to find clad and another Canadian penny - I go through streaks.   I thought I found my first gold ring but it turned out to be junk.  It hit around 23 on the detector but no such luck.  Guess I will have to keep searching - for both a gold ring and good place to hunt.
