WEEKEND HUNT YIELDS SOME FIRSTS


I got a chance to hunt this weekend - only a couple hours on Sat. because of rain and almost all day Sun.  I picked up gogogopher and we went West to some different schools.  The first school had a sign - no metal detectors on school property - a (first) for us so we had to try a park which was picked pretty clean.  I did manage to find a broken watch and very little clad.  So we rode around and tried a different school and ran into another TH.  He is "whammy" on the White's forum so we chatted with him awhile.  He gave us a tip about a school where he had found over 50 silver coins.  Well he must have found all of them because we couldn't find any.  I did manage to find 7 wheat pennies - a new one day record for me and my (first) IKE silver dollar.  So after a slow start it ended well finding close to 5 bucks in clad.  It was also my best coin total so far this year and I just went over a 100 bucks.
