SILVER FOR THE WEEKEND



Saturday I decided to detect in the woods - spent several hours and found only 1 coin - a mercury dime.
Sunday I detected with some friends and found 9 wheat pennies and clad.  We were at a spot where people use to picnic a long time ago but none of us found any silver.  The weeks are nice and warm and the weekends are cool - forecast is the same for this coming weekend.

BACK IN THE SILVER FOR MARCH





I managed to get out this weekend, Saturday was cold but I met up with T and I found an Indian head penny and a couple of wheats along with clad.
Sunday I met up with some co-workers and found a mercury dime and wheat pennies.  The dime was deep, about 9 inches down and found it with the Simplex.  I'm getting use to the machine - still no verdict yet but time will tell.

GOT OUT A COUPLE OF HOURS

I managed to get out a couple of hours on Sunday - tried some woods in a park.  I found 21 cents in clad but it was nice to swing the detector again.  Hoping to get out this weekend as the weather will be better.

MANAGED A QUICK HUNT

With obligations and the rain I managed to get out for a couple of hours yesterday trying out my new Simplex + detector.  Still need to get use to it but it really hits on targets.  I did find an old beat up wheat penny and some clad.  But it was just a blessing to detect in January.

SNOW ON THE LONG WEEKEND


Well the snow had to come sometime - just wish it could have waited for another weekend.  No school tomorrow but we finally got some measurable snow plus the cold.  Figures - I got the new Simplex + detector now I have to wait to use it.

DETECTING IN JANUARY



I was able to get out this weekend in January, the weather has been warmer than average lately.   No silver to speak of but did find an Indian head penny and several wheat pennies along with the usual clad.  But normal this time of year I'm doing research so I'm not complaining.  Plus with the nice weather it's one day closer to spring with the snow.

2020 STARTING WITH BIG SILVER






                          


I went to a local park and detected in the woods.  My first good target was a Washington quarter and about 4 feet away I got another nice hit.  This time it was a walking liberty half dollar.   Not bad for the start of the new year.  Plus there's no snow and the temperature is tolerable.  Detecting in January for central New York is sweet.
