Metal Detecting

ANOTHER SLOW BUT DECENT WEEKEND

Not much to write about - had a nice weekend finally for the weather and some metal detecting. I did have one of my better wheat penny days Sunday finding 6 - no silver and the usual clad. I did try a new park for me where I found the pennies - I may have to go back - at least there's promise.

A DECENT WEEKEND

I had to work Saturday morning so after I hit a school close to home. I didn't find many coins but I did get my second silver war nickel for the year. It was my first silver find there in a while.
Sunday I hit a spot where I've had luck with silver - not today but I did manage a wheat penny and over 2 bucks in clad. But I also lost my lesche digging tool - no clue where it went. The grass was high and I did have a metal detector but I couldn't find it so another one is on the way.

CLAD, WHEAT AND SILVER RING

I met up with T Saturday by the park next to his house - found a Farthing coin - 1919 - almost the size of a nickel, a wheat penny and lots of clad. T has pulled some nice coins out of this park but neither of us has found a silver quarter - so that has been our goal - got to be one in there.
Sunday I hit a school where I've had luck before - I did manage a couple of wheat pennies and clad plus a silver ring. I got an early start but when that sun comes out it gets hot fast.

EVERYDAY NORMAL WEEKEND

I was able to get out this weekend - had a late start Saturday due to thunderstorms and went back to the spot where I found my latest Canadian large cent. Saturday was just a clad day plus a junk ring and Sunday I managed to find 3 wheat pennies and not much else. But at least I'm getting out so I can't complain.

JULY 4th HUNT

It was back up north on July 4th for the family reunion. And I hunted the local school again and had a decent day finding a wheat penny and over a buck 75 in clad. But it's always good to see the family again as another 4th goes in the history books.

SHORT WEEKEND DUE TO RAIN

I met up with T on Saturday after another rain storm and we hit an area where I've had a dime trifecta. We hunted for a bit on the soggy ground until it started raining again so we got in our vehicles until it stopped. We tried it again for about 20 minutes then the second downpour came and it didn't let up. Done for the day but I did manage to find a Canadian large cent 1884 along with a wheat penny.
Sunday I went back to T's park - this time no silver but I did get a V nickel, 3 wheat pennies and lots of clad including 27 dimes. Most were close to the surface but I made it a bit easier for T to find those older coins.

SILVER WEDNESDAY

I have the rest of the week off so yesterday I decided to hit the park next to T's house. He's been having luck finding Indian head pennies so I wanted to give it a shot. I didn't find any IH's but I did find a barber dime, a war nickel along with 2 wheat pennies and over 5 bucks in clad. The park has been a hot spot lately and I'm sure we will be detecting it some more.
