SATURDAY MORNING HUNT

Got a chance to hunt another school where I've had luck in the past.  No silver but did find a couple of wheat pennies and on old Canadian penny plus over a buck in clad.  The ground surface is softer with the rain we had on Friday but some parts of the ground are still pretty dry.  Won't be as hot tomorrow and hope to get out again - maybe a road trip to somewhere different.

SCHOOL HUNT

Went to a school again where I've had luck in the past - again nothing but clad but one of my better days finding double digit in  coins and over a buck 50.  Been a slow year with the hot weather making the ground very dry and hard to dig in - but what can you do?  At least I got out so I can't complain.   Included in my total will be my great clad count of the park in PA - a whopping .16 cents.  If we go back next year to the race may have to stay at a different place but the hotel was nice and convenient so could be in the same boat.

PA TRIP

Got back from a trip to Pennsylvania, I got to hunt a park while the rest of the family took in a nascar race.  Someone got killed by a lightning strike and 9 others hurt - thankfully my family made out okay.  They saw the ambulance go by them when they were leaving.  Prayers for the one killed and the others.
 At the park a worker said the ground had been filled in over swamp - I tried it anyway since I was there - found lots of trash - few coins.  Since I was on foot I was limited to where I could go.  Would have liked to hit a few more spots - maybe next year if we go back.

QUICK HUNT AT LOCAL PARK

I did a quick hunt at a park where I've had luck with rings but only came away with some clad this morning.  I'm on vacation so I got to take advantage of the cool mornings before the heat comes in the afternoon.   My take today was .$46 cents.

SUNDAY HUNT

Sunday morning I tried a new area - a ball field behind a school that is now a senior citizen home.  The school was built back in the 20's so I was hoping for some nice finds.  But as I did my thing all I found was clad.  I would like to hunt the ground next to the building but will have to seek permission.  I did find just over a buck and some canadian pennies.

SATURDAY HUNT AT OLD PLACES

I hit a school early in the morning where I've had luck with silver and wheat pennies.  Today nothing and I had to quit because of the thunder then the rain.   After the rain I went to a park where I've had similar luck and again nothing - I was lucky to find coins.  So I will give it another try today - hopefully a new area.

RAIN

A few storms passed through last night bringing some much needed rain - let's hope it was enough but I don't think it did much of anything.  More rain is forecast for Thursday hopefully an all day rain to soak in the ground.  And the temps won't be as hot so that will be a plus too.
