GOT OUT SUNDAY

I did manage to get out for a brief moment Sunday hitting some woods. Didn't find much - only a clad dime but felt good to get out and swing the detector. May not be able to this weekend as they are calling for another winter storm. I'll have to wait and see if the predictions are true.

SNOW AND MORE SNOW

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.
