4 SILVER SATURDAY

After getting skunked last Sunday I made up for it today by finding 4 silver coins, 7 wheat pennies and some clad. I didn't hunt long since I had some things to do with the children. I will have to get back to this spot when I can hunt it longer.   I did find some older Jefferson nickels but I'm not going to save them - put them in the change pile. Also found a ring.

SILVER HALLOWEEN - SKUNK SUNDAY

Now with the moist ground I hit a park I've had luck with before. My first coin was a mercury dime then not much after that. I wanted to stay longer but this park is by some woods and gunshots were going off so I thought it best to leave - you never know.
Sunday morning it rained after the rain stopped I hit some woods close to home. I knew finding something was remote and as it turned out - right. Did not find a single thing. I left the woods to nearby park then realized I left my pin pointer in the woods. So back in I went and did find it then decided to call it a day.

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.
