CLAD SUNDAY

I met up with D and we hunted a park - wasn't sure how old it was but it was pretty clean - not many hits and nothing old.   So we decided to try a school - lots of clad but again nothing old. So we hit another area where I had found some silver - nothing but clad for me and D found another war nickel - he has been on a nickel roll plus he found some wheat pennies. Been a while since I found some silver - maybe this weekend.   Went over a thousand coins for the year. Scanner is down. No pics

HUNT IN THE PARK

I met up with D and we hit a park that he has had luck in finding silver. The only silver was a ring D found and he also found a V and buffalo nickels. D is on a nickel roll. We both managed wheat pennies. I'm still trying my new 12" super coil - not sure what to think yet - need some more time with it.

NEW COIL ARRIVED

Got my new 12" white's super coil and gave it a quick test yesterday. I went to where I found my large cents - found clad but I do like the coil. I can cover more ground and it's light. I'll be using the V3X more now and see what I can dig up.

A NICKEL KIND OF DAY

I met up with D and we hit a spot where I found my first 1909 wheat penny. Neither of us have found anything but wheat pennies but yesterday it was nickel day. D found 4 buffalo, a V and war nickels while I found 2 buffalo, an Indian penny and we both found wheats. We still think there is silver there - the coins are deep - at least 6" down so maybe next time. The ground is really moist so the reason for some of the toasty coins.

ANOTHER LARGE CENT

Went back to the spot where I found my oldest large cent and another. Found my 3rd one yesterday - still hoping there is some old silver there - did find that 1910 canadian dime so I'm hoping there is more. A short hunt, had to go and see me daughter at college. Can't wait to get my 12" super coil - will have to try it there.   This one was only about 3" down.

NEW COIL ON THE WAY

Bought a 12' super coil for the V3X. Should come early next week. I see how D and others are finding coins much deeper with the bigger coil. Hopefully I can do the same.

SUNDAY HUNT

I was solo on Sunday, D was having car problems so I went back to on old spot. Managed to find clad and a very worn V nickel. It was a nice day so I cut my hunt short then came home and worked around the house.
