MAYBE THIS WEEKEND

It's still going to be cold by Friday but the weekend looks like it's going to warm up some.  Been getting cabin fever waiting for the weather to break - hopefully I get a chance Saturday.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

AND THE SNOW KEEPS ON COMING

Just got hit with another snow storm, maybe another 4 to 6 inches on the ground.  Starting to get cabin fever and you can only do so much research - there are a lot of places I'd like to hunt but it looks like it's going to be a while.

WINTER IS BACK

We had a couple of nice days last week including setting a record high for the day, but with the work schedule I wasn't able to take advantage of it.  Now the snow and cold have come back and it looks as though it going to stay a while.  Can't complain - this is Central NY and it is February - just hope the month goes by fast.

WOODS HUNTS

It was exactly summer but the weather was decent enough to get out and hunt.  I hit the woods - one area where I've found some large cents, one new and where I've found my walking liberty.  Needless to say I only found a penny - not worthy of recording.  I think my spots are drying up - need to try some different areas - that's where the research comes in - but I need a good day since I will have to travel -  not much area left to hunt here.

SATURDAY HUNT

We had unexpected warm weather yesterday - getting to almost 50 degrees so I took advantage of it.  I hit a wooded area with some history and T met me there - found just some clad again - nothing old then T took me to a park next to his house - he has found lots of silver and he did again.  I managed 3 wheat pennies - only 1 with a date and more clad.   I hope to get some pictures - got a new computer so I hope the scanner works with it - I did find over a buck in clad and a dog tag.

SECOND HUNT

 I got a chance to hunt yesterday morning - more of the snow is gone  but still enough on the ground where I hunted the grassy areas.  I tried the woods - managed to find only .50 cents in clad and a ton of cans.  I keep finding the party spots - would like to find old forgotten spots but will need to do some research.

FIRST HUNT OF THE YEAR



The snow isn't gone but the temperature was right to get my first hunt of the year.  Not much exciting - only found a wheat penny and just under a buck in clad, a key and some other stuff.  But it felt good to swing the detector again - hopefully I can get back out tomorrow morning before the rains come.  After this weekend it may be a while again since the temp is going to drop by mid-week.
