THE PAST FEW HUNTS


It starts with a lunch hunt on Friday - still lucky to find coins 83 cents worth.   Saturday I had a late start due to my son's mandatory sports meeting which lasted most of the morning.  I went to a spot where I've had luck before but not this day.  Only found pennies but 2 of them were wheat.  7 cents was the net.   A woman came up to me who metal detects - she is her 70's and she says she loves the hobby. She has found some nice coins - a half dime and older coins in her yard.  Funny who you run into these days.
I started Sunday at my new favorite school with a very wet ground.  No silver today except for a ring that was sterling + 14K and a bracelet( not sure if it's junk - only marking was a P).  People started to show up so I left.  I then hit another school this evening where I found 2 more wheat pennies and my second Kennedy half dollar.  My total for the day was over 3 bucks.
