HOPE TO GIVE IT A TRY

The weather has gotten a lot colder but I hope to get out sometime this weekend for a short hunt.  It was in the 50's Wednesday so the ground hasn't frozen yet - I hope.  Should be in the low 30's today.

GAVE IT A TRY

The temperature wasn't that bad yesterday so I went out for a quick hunt.  I tried a park that had some woods - wasn't expecting to find much and that's what happened.  Only found 5 stinkin Lincolns but at least I found something and I did get out.  One bad thing about hunting this time of year is that the ground is very muddy -  had no problems digging - just dirty.   Will have to see how the temps do this week and maybe give it another shot next weekend.

SATURDAY HUNT

I met up with T and we went back to the spot where I found my seated liberty.  We were hoping to find an area where coins could have been dropped.  It was cold and we had no such luck  - neither of us finding anything.  Then we hit a spot I hunted before finding some wheat pennies - T found a walking liberty half and all I found was clad.  It got colder as the day went on and the snow was starting to fly.  I'm not putting away the detector yet but it's not looking good down the road.

WEEKEND HUNTS

Saturday I met up with T and we were planning a road trip but he was in the doghouse with the wife so we stayed close to his house and hunted some circles.  Neither of us found anything but some clad and the hunt was short as he had to get home.
Sunday I met D and we hunted a park that he has had good finds and I can't believe that silver is in there having hunted it before several times and finding a coin was lucky.  Again he found to silver dimes and I did manage a couple of wheat pennies.  The hunt was short due to the rain.   I have post my findings which isn't a lot but as soon as I clean the coins.

BIRTHDAY HUNT

Yesterday was my birthday so I took the day off from work to do some metal detecting.  I tried a wooded area where I've had luck in the past and to try my new DD 4x6 coil on my whites.  Only found clad so I went to park and again only clad.  But any day metal detecting is better than a day at work. 

HOME FOR THE WEEKEND

I went up north to my home town this past weekend with my son to visit my brother.   Saturday was all day with the family and was planning a day of detecting on Sunday.  But as luck would have it it rained all day Sunday so I didn't get a chance to get out.   I did managed a few minutes Monday morning and found about 4 coins before heading back home but that was it - at least I got to see family and friends - maybe next year. 

BROTHER IN TOWN

My brother was in town at my niece's dance classes so we got together early Saturday.  Didn't get a chance to detect as I spent most of the day with him.   I did manage a quick hunt Sunday morning using my AT pro - still trying to get use to it  - I did find a wheat penny at a local school.  I found some junk deep - and 3 stinkin lincolns.   I need some more practice with it but I like the way the detector works.
