BACK TO THE WOODS - SILVER
Happy Memorial day.
The weather was going to be hot so I got out early Saturday and hit a school where I've found silver before. Didn't find any but did find a beat up wheat penny, a ring and not much else. I did find over a buck in clad.
Sunday I decided to give the woods one more try and glad I did. I found another barber dime along with 5 clad pennies. I've had good luck in these woods - mostly on the beaten path - nothing really in the woods themselves except for bullets, casings.
Today my sister-in-law is having us over for Memorial day. I plan to hunt her yard again - the first time finding 2 wheat pennies including a 1909. Hope I can get some silver.

WOODS YIELDS ANOTHER SILVER
Well they say to keep hunting a place that produces and this spot is. Another silver coin - this time a quarter - my first for the year along with a couple of wheat pennies and a button. But I think I'm going to have to leave this area as the growth is starting to really fill in. This will definitely be a fall hunt for sure.

ANOTHER SILVER WEEKEND
It was back to the woods and again I got lucky and found silver. I managed to find 2 mercury dimes and clad. So far this has been a good spot though the hits are few - but it may be over since the growth is starting to come in. I may give it another shot but time will tell.

WOODS HUNT FINALLY PAYS OFF
I've been trying my luck in the woods and this past weekend it finally paid off. I had hunted these woods before after trying new spots - but this time I got lucky. I found my first 1800's coin for the year and first barber dime along with a couple of wheat pennies and canadian dime. Also found some clad and tons of bullets and casings I'm definitely going to have to hit this spot again. Maybe my first ever barber quarter is waiting for me there.

A WHOLE PENNY SATURDAY
I found another spot of woods to hunt - tried for about 3 hours and only found a penny. I did find signs of life, bullet casings, old bic lighter, foil, and the usual bottles and cans. But I want to stay in the woods for now until the growth and bugs really kick in.
I did get an extra hunt Thursday as T got the new MX detector from white's. He's trying to get use to the tones and he'll let me use it a time or two. Found a quarter on this hunt.
Of course today is a rain out so work around the house it is.

GOT SOME SILVER
After coming back from Cortland to pick up my daughter Saturday, I hit a familiar spot close to home and found my first Roosevelt dime for the year along with a wheat penny and clad.
Sunday I tried a new area in the woods. I did find 2 wheat pennies in the same hole, a clad quarter and nothing else. The trail I was on was steep - just kept going up hill and no flat spots to detect. At least I got my exercise.
