A Couple Slower Hunts Recently

[washingtonian]

Hey guys,

I've been sneaking some time in for metal detecting as possible the last few days without too much to show for it. I spent about an hour and a half covering the second half of my backyard on Sunday morning and just turned up 18 cents clad. I was surprised because the first half of the yard turned up 4 wheats and 2 silver dimes. Oh well!

Last night I got out for a few hours. The first site I hit was a 1920s era house I got permission on. I pulled up 25 coins, all clad. Not even a wheat penny to show for it. So strange! I think the yard must've been covered in fill dirt because I didn't find anything older than the 70s there.

After that, I spent some more time at the 1914 house I hit last week. Before yesterday I'd pulled 6 wheats and a war nickel. I canvassed the yard really hard and was only able to turn up a couple more older coins, a 1940-S wheat penny and a 1950 Canadian penny.







Here are my totals for the yesterday:
-1 Wheat Penny (1940-S)
-1 King George VI Canadian Penny (1950)
-50 Memorial Cents
-4 Modern Canadian Cents
-1 Nickel
-11 Dimes
-1 Quarter

Oh well, I guess not every hunt can be a winner. Just gotta keep after it.

Happy hunting!

Right now I wouldn't mind finding that . It's so dry here you can't dig much of a hole and the heat is a killer. Congratulations

good job, sometimes it is what it is but you got out. I hunted hard for three hours this morning and got very little

It hasn't rained here in 31 days so I feel your pain. It was tough digging.

Yeah, sometimes I still like to post when it's slow because I don't want to give people the impression I find something great every time. Keep after it!
