A FEW HUNTS - LAST ONE GETS SILVER

The weather has been much better lately and I've had a few hunts. I did get some older coins along with my second seated dime this year (third overall). Also found my first fatty Indian head penny. My treasure hunt is next week so I can't wait for that.

FINALLY GOT OUT FOR THE WEEKEND

The last few weekends have been hit or miss on hunting - either with the rain or something going on. Saturday I hit a familiar spot and did find my first large cent of the year - though not American.
Sunday I met up with J and hit a spot I haven't hunted in years - no silver but did find a buffalo nickel and wheat pennies.   Hopefully the wet weather will happen only during the week and I get some silver.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY

Though the temps have been okay, it's the rain that needs to stop. Today it's raining again but me and T still hope to hit a permission spot that's not underwater on Saturday. We do have a back up plan but would like to try this area since it is on a 1874 map.

EASTER SILVER

I'm finally able to post my last weekend's finds - I did manage another silver dime on Easter.   Saturday I met up with T and we hit a park in his neck of the woods. I found 2 Indian head and 4 wheat pennies. The bad thing is the coins are in terrible shape - this park is not nice to the pennies. I think I got one date off the IH's 1891.
Easter Sunday I went to the local park and found silver #12. I'm having a great year in that department.   Hopefully I can keep the streak going.

BIG SILVER - STREAK ENDS

On my last 3 hunts, the first 2 found silver while the last hunt the streak ended. Had to end sometime so I hope I can start another one. I found my first half dollar in a few years - it was nice to see that silver mixed in with the dirt. 11 silvers so far this year - way ahead of last year. I'm also ahead with the wheat pennies.

STILL RIDING THE SILVER TRAIN

Another weekend hunt and I was lucky again and found silver. Saturday I went to a park I haven't hunted in a while - did manage some wheat pennies and clad but no silver.
Sunday I to a new spot in the woods, I got a 82 hit on the max and found a barber dime. Lots more woods to cover so I will be back.
