SUNDAY MORNING HUNT

 
 
I went back to the area where I found the civil war token but didn't cross the creek this time.  I stayed along the path and hit the woods hoping to find some old coins but only found clad.  Can't believe what kids lose.  My total was over a buck 60 - I'm going to have to wait until fall or next spring since the growth was higher than I thought - hard to swing that detector.   No old coins this weekend.

SHORT HUNT BEFORE THE RAIN


I went back to the school I hit last week and did a quick hunt before the rains came.  Didn't find anything old but managed over a buck in clad.  Only hunted just over an hour then quit,  when I got home it started to rain so I guess I did the right thing.  I hope I can get out today but it's overcast and who knows how long the rain will hold off.
