A VERY GOOD WEEKEND - SILVER AND MORE

What a difference a change of location will do. I met up with J and we tried a spots I've hunted before and hadn't had much luck until Saturday. I found 2 Indian head pennies and a wheat plus lots of clad before moving to a park down the road. At spot 2 I found a V nickel along with wheat pennies.
Sunday it was back to spot 2 where I found silver - a mercury dime and a war nickel along with a buffalo nickel and wheat pennies plus a Canadian penny. So over all a very nice weekend.

WEDNESDAY OFF

I was off this past Wednesday and took advantage of it hunting a spot with some history and meeting up with T. Unfortuneatly we didn't find any - only a couple of wheat pennies but it was nice getting out in the middle of the week.

A QUIET WEEKEND

I went back to the spot where I've been finding my 1800's coins and as luck would have it I found another Indian head penny plus a wheat penny.   I found a few more wheats and little clad. Quiet but a good weekend.

BACK TO THE NORM - BUT NOT TOO BAD

Well my 1800's streak is over - barely though I came close with an 1902 V nickel. I also found 5 wheat pennies, a cheap ring and clad. I inserted the new upgrade on my nox 600 - still need a little more time to see if it really works.
The rain is coming down so I hope it really soaks the ground - it needs it.

GREAT WEEKEND - SILVER, BUCKET LIST

The nox just keeps on giving - had another good weekend finding 1800's coins and silver. I got a bucket list coin - though it's in rough shape but I'll take it. I found my first shield nickel. I also got another Indian head penny and some wheat pennies on Saturday.
Sunday I met up with S and I found 2 silver dimes, wheat pennies and a good luck token. So overall this was a very good weekend.

NOT A BAD WEEKEND - STILL FINDING SOME OLD COINS

Well I didn't have a great weekend but it wasn't all bad either. While I found no silver I did manage some more 1800's coins and wheat pennies. Saturday I went back to my recent sweet spot finding a V nickel and 2 more Indian head pennies. I still think there is seated there - just got to get the coil over the coin.
Sunday I stayed close to home and hit a couple of parks finding wheat pennies and clad. It's going to be a hot week - hopefully it rains some and cools by the weekend.
