Well we got the storm they had predicted - just got a lot more snow. Was hoping to get only 3 to 5 inches but got over 2 feet. The snow is melting but too much still on the ground to get out and hunt. Maybe next weekend - it's not going to snow plus it won't be as cold.

LAST HUNT FOR THE SEASON????
I went out to a park with the racer 2 where I had found some old nickels and wheat pennies to see if I could find deep coins. Well I found coins - clad, not deep but did manage nails and foil deep. At least I got out which with the forecast may be the last time this year. In a lake effect snow warning until Monday so I'll have to see how much snow we get.

TRIP UP NORTH
Well I finally get a chance to put up a post about this past weekend. I went back home and saw my brother like I do every November. I did get a small window to detect and I was rewarded with a silver quarter and clad. Found the quarter where the old high school was located and where I went to jr high. Before getting into town I did a small beach where I went as a kid. Clad and tons of pull tabs. Over all not a bad weekend - silver and seeing my brother.

WEEKEND HUNT
Well I'm still trying out my Makro racer 2 going to a park on Saturday and then a place where I found 3 large cents. Not much in the way of old coins and less in clad. I am getting those deep nails and foil still - need to get better at what a good target is. I will keep trying.

FIRST SILVER WITH THE MAKRO
I met up with T on Saturday and we tried a couple of parks that have given in the past. T found a wheat and clad while I just found clad. I brought T home and hunted a park by his house. I found a old Canadian penny, wheat and my first silver coin - Rosie with my Makro. It was about 5 inches down.
Sunday I hit a school where I know there are coins but I've also found silver and wheats. No luck with the latter but did manage over 5 bucks in clad. most of the coins weren't deep but I'm getting a better feel and hearing on the tones for coins. Still found junk deep but hopefully that will change.

SUNDAY WITH THE RACER
Saturday was a complete wash out as it rained all day. I tried to take advantage of the soaked ground on Sunday again with the Racer 2. Still trying to get the feel and understanding the sounds the tones. I did manage a little clad and not much else. I went to spots where I've had silver finds hoping for the deeper digs. Still getting the nails and foil deep. The highlight was finding a Canadian 2 dollar coin.

WEEKEND HUNT WITH THE RACER 2
I got my new racer 2 on Friday and went out bright and early Saturday morning. I wanted to try some spots that I had found silver and older coins to test the depth but the spots were taken by kids playing ball. I did hit other (proven) spots but found only clad. I need to get the tones down between coins and bottle caps. I did find a junk gold plated ring.
Sunday I hit the park - I got a wheat penny and key but not much else. I need to more practice with the racer before I can give a decent review.
