VERY SLOW WOOD HUNT

Went back into the woods - found only a dime and I couldn't believe it was a modern one and not silver from the location I found it and another in a small park.  The park had been hunted over finding plugs in the ground.  So the grand total was 20 cents - better than being shut out.

ANOTHER QUICK HUNT


 I went out after work again and tried some woods behind a school.  From the road it looked promising but once I got into the woods - not a lot of area to hunt.  There was a path but deep steep hills on both sides of the path, not much flat land but did manage to find a quarter on the path.

SHORT HUNT AFTER WORK


I hit some woods after work yesterday since I can't go to the schools because of sports practices.  I found a wheat penny right off then not much.  I ended up finding to more pennies - memorials and that's it.  But it was nice to get out during the week - just waiting for the weekend now.

FOUND ONLY 3 COINS BUT...


Today I decided to try some different woods - there is some history with these woods so in I went.  My first find was a wheat penny so that gave me some hope that there could be something more.  Then I found my second large copper of the year 1837 - this really got me pumped up.  My third find was another wheat penny.  The coins were slow in coming then my son called,  I will have to hit this area again hoping to find some silver.  I would like to close the gap between 1837 and 1916 which was my oldest wheat found.  No clad today.
