AFTERNOON HUNT

Went hunting at one of my favorites parks today with the warm temps.  Didn't much in coins but did find 2 wheat pennies - 1930 and 1944.  I was hoping to find silver but no luck.  I used the delta - seemed to work fine just need to get use to it.   Four wheat pennies so far - way ahead of last year.

MY TWO CENTS

Tried the delta in the backyard since it wasn't real cold - hunted by the close line and found 2 cents - memorial pennies.  I still need to test the delta - seemed to be reading alright but I need to try it in some warmer weather.

LOCAL CONSTRUCTION SITES - TIP OF THE WEEK

Check out your local sidewalk construction sites.  I've read a few forums where hunters found many old coins digging on these sites.  I had an opportunity last year but didn't take advantage of it.  I also saw some construction sites where they were digging and tearing down old houses.  If I see any this year I will make it a point to ask if I can hunt - hopefully they will let me.

RAIN RAIN - DON'T GO AWAY

It's the last day  of February  and it's raining.  I hope it melts a lot of the snow - the week is not supposed to be bad so by the weekend I may be able to get out and hunt .  One hunt for the month - still need to try out the delta at a different place to really give it a test.
