THE WEEKEND

I took a trip to a friend's house on Saturday - hunting his yard then a couple of parks.  His yard was full of iron but he did manage to find a wheat penny.  I had to wait until I hit the park to find my first coin of the day.   I couldn't stay long as I had to get back home to get my daughter from college.  Just a clad day for me.
Sunday started with rain and I got a late start.  I stayed close to home and later met another hunter.    He is in a club here in Syracuse and he gave me some info about it. We chatted for a while before getting back to detecting.   I left shortly after finding clad and a wheat penny. Wonder what he found???

NOT MUCH TO TALK ABOUT


Not much to write about on my last 3 hunts - starting Columbus day I went on a road trip and hit a park - it had trails but found just clad.
Saturday I did a quick morning hunt as I had to take my son to a college fair.  Only hunted about 90 minutes but did manage a couple of wheat pennies and clad.
Sunday I went to my dime trifecta spot  - there was snow on the ground and it was very muddy to dig.  I found 2 pennies though one was a wheatie.   Plus it was cold.

SUNDAY


I met up with K Sunday morning at a school in his neck of the woods.  I had been to this school before with not much luck but that change when I found a Rosie.  My son tag along since K was his track coach and  wanted to talk to him -  so again overall a good day.

SATURDAY HUNT




With the recent past rain and the ground being a lot easier to dig  - I hit some spots that I've found some goodies before.   My first stop where I found a barber dime and some wheat pennies was cut short by kids going to have a softball game.  Did find some clad.  My second stop found nothing and the third was in the woods and I managed a mercury dime and a wheat penny along with clad.  So not too bad of a day.

THE WEEKEND



Since we had lots of rain during the past week I went to my 4 large cent found spot hoping to get some old silver.   With the ground being damp and soft again,  having the detector read deeper but nope - not to be just finding clad.  So I went to a near by school and did manage to find a silver dime and some wheat pennies.  Not a bad Saturday.
Sunday I hit a trail - finding just clad and then some woods and did get a wheat penny.   Couldn't hunt long as my son had a college fair.  There's always next week.

WEEKEND IN THE WOODS

With the lack of rain and the ground being rock hard I hit the woods this past weekend.   Saturday I found a new spot - it had long trails and a creek.   I hunted for a few hours only finding clad and the usual bullet shells.
Sunday I went to a familar spot hoping to find something old.  No dice - again just clad.  So far the woods have not been productive but I'm not going to give up.  Now I hope it rains so I can hit some areas that have been giving.

WEDNESDAY HUNT IN THE WOODS

I had the day off this past Wednesday and hit the woods.  I hunted on several trails and a creek but found nothing but clad.  Saw signs of life but could not find anything old.  But as they say - a bad detecting is better than a good day at work.
