- Relic Hunting
I had a little time to hunt this morning so I thought I go to a new tot lot that I have never hunted before. Now before some of you question my choice let me explain. A lot of you know that I am a die hard relic hunter and hunting coins is pretty rare for me. But all of my civil war wooded sites are either in heavy vegetation (wooded sites), fields not mowed or hard as concrete from lack of rain. So I noticed a school on the way to my sites that is always busy on weekends and thought what the heck. My main goal was rings as I have found tons of them in tot lots in the past. So with about an hour and a half to kill I get out the ole reliable AT GOLD and start swinging. The usual take at the end of the day was those darn stinkin lincolns, a few nickels, dimes and a couple quarters and a piece of costume jewelry. Now when I get home I look at the pennies and noticed one that stood out from the others. It turned out the be a 1930. I guess little Johnnie got into daddy's stash. Also found some nails. I talked to a couple parents that arrived as I was leaving because the kids were all excited about the machine. I told them that I found and removed several nails to help keep the place safe for their kids. They were so impressed and thanked me as I was loading up. Done my good deed for the day and came home with a wheatie.
