WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES


Went back to the spot with D where I found my second large cent - not as fortunate Sunday.  I did manage a couple of wheat pennies but that was it.  D found a mercury dime and some wheat pennies.  I'm still hoping there is some older silver there - I won't give up yet.

PENNY TRIFECTA - CANADIAN SILVER








I went back to the spot where I found my oldest coin and found another large cent, Indian and wheat pennies along with a silver dime - Canadian but I'll take it.  It broke my slump.  I guess I found a penny trifecta - I'm hoping there is some old silver there - I will hit it again and see.  Found little clad.

SUNDAY AND LABOR DAY HUNTS


Sunday was a short hunt since it rain all morning and I got out in the afternoon.  I hunted the spot where I found my last large cent - I did manage a couple of wheat pennies but not much else.  At least the grass was cut.
Labor day I was going for the home run - hitting a spot with lots of history - but came up short - nothing near the fence - only singles.  Didn't hunt long since I had a family get together.  May hit this area again but will have to wait until fall - less bugs and can venture into the woods.

SATURDAY FINDS


Well I met up with D and T and we went to some areas the T had wanted to hunt.  The first area had some history but we found just clad and the ground was hard to dig.  The second area was posted and the third overgrown.  So I suggested an area - had some better luck - D found a rosie and T and I found wheat pennies.  T had to leave so D and I went to another spot - D found nothing and I found a wheat penny - my second 1909 lincoln but this time no VDB.   We tried our last spot - D found a rosie and me clad.   We did some traveling - but it''s places where they've been hunted to death.  Need to find that spot that no one had been too.  That may be very hard to find.

SUNDAY HUNT


I met up with D and we hunted some areas where he has had some nice finds.  The first spot he found a V nickel and we both found some wheat pennies.  The next spot he found a mercury dime and me just clad.  I talked to my friend T and he has found some nice silver at this spot as well so I will have to try it again.

DAY OFF

No detecting yesterday due to taking my daughter back to college for her second year.  Boy am I getting old.  It was kind of a wet day anyway - but family first.
