BACK TO THE NORM - BUT NOT TOO BAD

Well my 1800's streak is over - barely though I came close with an 1902 V nickel. I also found 5 wheat pennies, a cheap ring and clad. I inserted the new upgrade on my nox 600 - still need a little more time to see if it really works.
The rain is coming down so I hope it really soaks the ground - it needs it.

GREAT WEEKEND - SILVER, BUCKET LIST

The nox just keeps on giving - had another good weekend finding 1800's coins and silver. I got a bucket list coin - though it's in rough shape but I'll take it. I found my first shield nickel. I also got another Indian head penny and some wheat pennies on Saturday.
Sunday I met up with S and I found 2 silver dimes, wheat pennies and a good luck token. So overall this was a very good weekend.

NOT A BAD WEEKEND - STILL FINDING SOME OLD COINS

Well I didn't have a great weekend but it wasn't all bad either. While I found no silver I did manage some more 1800's coins and wheat pennies. Saturday I went back to my recent sweet spot finding a V nickel and 2 more Indian head pennies. I still think there is seated there - just got to get the coil over the coin.
Sunday I stayed close to home and hit a couple of parks finding wheat pennies and clad. It's going to be a hot week - hopefully it rains some and cools by the weekend.

VACATION DAY

It was my last day of vacation for the summer and I hit a park where T and I have found many old coins. I managed to find a Rosie and buffalo nickel while meeting another detectorist. He has a Minelab e-trac but he's still trying to learn how to use it like I'm still learning the nox.   At least I got out for a bit - always better going detecting than to work.

ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND WITH EQUINOX

Saturday I headed back to the spot where I had my first good hunt with the Equinox. The second hunt was just as good though I did not find silver I did find 2 large cents, 2 Indian head pennies, a buffalo nickel, a Belgium coin, possible civil war token and wheat penny plus clad. I also got 2 more buttons. So far I've done well but it's going to have to rain sometime.
Sunday I hit a local school and hunted for a short time since my great niece was in town and wanted to see her but I still found 3 wheat pennies and clad.
Before the weekend I was trying settings in my back yard and found a wheat penny.
