LIGHTNING DOESN'T STRIKE TWICE

I went back to my spot yesterday and my friend K met me there.  I was hoping for another good day but lightning didn't strike twice.  I did manage a wheat penny and some clad but that's all.  Oh well, still had a great weekend overall.  I will go back when more of the snow melts and I can hit some more area.

HAD A GREAT DAY

It was kind cool and wet in the morning but I went to a spot I've hunted before.   Had some luck there but yesterday I had a great day.  I found a barber dime and my first coin spill of old coins.   In the spill were 2 mercs, 1 Indian penny, 4 buffalo nickels and 7 wheat pennies and part of a coin holder.   I also found another merc and clad.  I'm glad I didn't let the weather stop me - hopefully today will be another "great" day.  I finally went over a dollar in clad but I'll take the older coins anytime.

FRIDAY HUNT

I took Friday off from work to take care of some errands.  After I completed my one task and since I was in  the area - I hit a park that D and I detected for a quick hunt.   D found silver our last trip so I was hoping for the best.  Not to be - just little clad and a wheat penny.   So I went on to finish my errands.

SILVER SUNDAY

I met up with J and we hit my hot spot from last year - most of it is still pretty wet and we were limited to where we could hunt.  I did manage to find some silver - my 3rd coin this year and second dime.  The only bad thing this time of year is that it's muddy and everything gets dirty.  The week is supposed to be nice with little rain so hopefully things dry out some.  Also found some clad.

FINALLY GOT OUT YESTERDAY

It's been a long time coming but I managed to get out and do some metal detecting.  I hit a park - some of the ground was still frozen but there were spots that I could dig.  My first find was a wheat penny then clad.  It felt good to get out and swing the detector again.  This week looks promising so I hope that winter is finally over.

GAVE IT A SHOT

Well the weather was decent - not too cold but a strong wind, some of the snow is gone so I went to a park just to see if I could dig in the ground - nope still frozen.  The next couple of days it's going to be cold but then hopefully a warming trend.  Maybe by the weekend the ground may soften enough to at least dig the surface. 

IS IT EVER GOING TO END????

Well the snow just keeps coming - another couple of inches today and not warming up anytime soon.  It's like the winters of old - wish they would stay in the past.  Hopefully the weather does a u turn and it starts to act like spring.  I have some new areas to try and want to revisit some old ones with the deep frost line - moving some things around.  Time will tell.
