Metal Detecting

NOTHING MUCH TO TALK ABOUT

Saturday I met up with T and we hunted in his neck of the woods. We started at a very hunted park and found nothing but a couple of pennies. We then moved to another park before the predicted rain was to come - T did much better finding 2 V nickels while I only found clad. We quit just in time because on the way home the rains came down.
Sunday was windy and cold and I stayed close to home - I went back to the place where I found my mercury dime last weekend. No such luck again finding only clad. But hunting in February is pretty cool.

WINTER STORM

Well the region just got hit with a winter storm that dumped about a foot of snow. Safe to say that detecting will be postponed for a bit but it does give me some time now to do some research and talk to people about getting permission sites. Also I can caught up on some overdue work around the house.

LOW WEEKEND

I didn't get out this weekend - Saturday was a cold day so I did some over due work around the house.
Sunday started cold but I just laid low and took a break waiting for the super bowl. Next weekend looks to be a little warmer so I hope to get out then.

ANOTHER WEEKEND IN THE WOODS

I found a new spot to this and gave it a try. Lots of stone walls around and some history. I found some clad on the trails and found my first large cent for the year along with a Canadian large cent.
Sunday I went back to see if lightning could strike twice - it didn't. My second skunk of year but there are still lots of area to cover so I may be going back.

FIRST WHEAT PENNIES FOR THE YEAR

Saturday I met up with T and we tried some woods. Didn't find anything so we hit a picnic area near by where we both found a wheat penny and not much else. I knew of a spot so we went detecting there. T found 2 mercury dimes and I found 7 more wheat pennies and clad - mostly pennies and a Canadian dime.

Sunday, again I hit some woods and didn't find anything and then went to a nearby school where I found a wheat penny and clad. Can't really complain about the finds - getting out in January has been a blessing.

FIRST SILVER RING AND QUARTERS OF 2017

It was a nice day yesterday and I got out for a bit - tried around a school. The ground is frozen in many spots but some areas were soft enough to dig. I hit some near by woods first finding my first quarters of the year and a penny. I later hit the school grounds and found my first silver ring for the year. Some of my hits I just couldn't dig but at least I was out - it's going to be a nice week so hopefully it stays that way for the weekend.
