FRIENDS HOUSE PRODUCES SILVER

I went detecting at a friends house today - the house is over 100 years old.  We got off to a slow start then found a clad coin or 2.  I went down by the road and got a quarter hit - when I dug the hole I could tell it was silver.  A 1948-s Washington - the s surprised me - don't find many out this way.  Also found 17 cents in clad but I wasn't expecting a big clad count.  I let my friend borrow my Delta 4000 and she found her first wheat penny and now she's hooked.  There is over 45 acres of land - most of it woods and we will hit that in the fall.  So overall not a bad day.

ROAD TRIP WITH LITTLE FINDS

I hit the road Sunday morning - went north to a lake and tried a couple of parks.  The first park looked promising - in the middle of the woods hadn't been used for some time.  The grass was high and it was full of junk - looked like the place had been filled in.  Only found 2 pennies so I decided to try another park.  This one had a small beach. I found 2 quarters and managed ring #10 - silver.  That made up the bad morning and long trip.  Will get the pic of the ring - daughter liked it and took it.

SATURDAY HUNTS

I went to my old school of employment where I did my lunch hunts - managed one wheat penny and a good chunk of clad.  I would have stayed longer but got called to work to get keys for one of my workers.  Then I went to another school again where I had found the merc - this time not much not at all just some clad.  With this last bunch of findings I went over $100 for the year.

QUICK SCHOOL HUNT

Went back to the school where I had found the merc - no silver today but did get another wheat penny.  I've been finding a lot more nickels since I put the SEF coil back on - may have to use it for the rest of the year. Hope to venture out somewhere today just not sure where yet.  Wish it would have rained but no such luck.

PREVIEW FOR THE WEEKEND???

I hit a local school - had luck there in the past - found my first silver in a while - a mercury dime along with 3 wheat pennies. The merc was deep about 6 inches down and I didn't know what I had found until I saw the side of the hole.  The next 3 coins were the wheat pennies so I hope this is a sign of how the weekend will be.  I've had a lot better finds since I put my 10X12 SEF coil back on - much deeper targets.  It's suppose to rain tonight and tomorrow so I hope it's a good soaking rain - great for the DFX - it loves the wet ground.
