Finally got some well deserved rain yesterday - it rained most of the day so I hope it put moisture back into the ground. Will have to check it out after work - you can tell fall is coming - now it's getting dark by 7 o'clock.

BACK TO THE WOODS
Sunday I wanted to try a school where I've found lots of wheats and a silver nickel. Was hoping to use the safari to see if I could find some deep silver but there was a baseball game going on. So I hit the woods/park down the road. I text a friend to see if he could hunt and met me later. We tried the woods for a while - he finding a ton of junk and clad and I found a couple of wheat pennies and clad pennies. I still want to hit the school but may have to try on a Saturday - I will post pics of the wheat pennies later. I had a 1926 wheat but it wasn't in my bag so I don't know where it went. I also found a flat button and my 2 cents in clad.

OLD SPOTS - NEW COINS
I brought the safari to some old spots where I've had luck in the past with silver and older coins. Must be I found them all - only managed a couple of wheat pennies and a King George canadian penny. I was hoping for some deep silver finds but no such luck. Will have to try some other areas where I've hit silver. Still looking for my first nickel.

SUNDAY HUNT - BACK TO REALITY
Well I tried a different school Sunday morning but where I have found silver and wheats. No silver but did manage one wheat penny and clad. So I went back to my "hot spot" and gave it another shot. This time no silver and very little coin. I went to try a school this afternoon but it's soccer season and all the fields were being used. Gives me time to see where I'll go this weekend. Still looking for my nickel with the safari.

SAFARI PROVIDES BEST SILVER DAY
My "new" safari arrived this morning - after putting it together and watching some videos, I went to a local school to see how the machine worked - I've hunted this place to death. In about 25 minuets I found 2 silver dimes and a wheat penny - had to stop because of the rain. When the rain stopped I went back to the school - found another 2 silver coins and 4 more wheat pennies. This is my best silver day ever - "old record was 3". I'm still getting use to the VDI numbers - different than the DFX and the sounds. I'm going to have to go back to the spots I've found silver in the past and give it a shot - hopefully I can beat the total of finds from today. Not much in clad - no nickels and lots of stinkin lincolns - got to get better with my numbers.

SAFARI
Just bought a minelab safari yesterday - should be shipped today and hopefully here by the beginning of next week. It was a toss up between the safari or a fisher but couldn't find a CZ3d at a decent price. Will have to see if the minelab is as good as they say they are.

SUNDAY HUNT
I met up with a friend to hunt an area I've done fairly well in. But before I met him I hit a school down the road. Managed to find my first "silver" coin there after finding many wheat pennies - a war nickel but I'll take it. I then met my friend and we hunted in the woods at a park - we ran into another TH - who happens to live by the park. He hunts it everyday and had found a lot of old coins - no wonder I was having a hard time finding turn on the century coins - he was finding them all. I did find 3 wheat pennies but not much else. I thought I had a secret spot but there goes that theory. Back to the drawing board.
