Hello to you all!!
I headed back to the area that I hunted last Sunday during my contest and pillaged the woodchip areas at two more schools near there and a small park. I definitely hunted at a slower more relaxing pace yesterday then the madness of last weekend
. Actually, my lower back is still a bit tender. I discovered that after I had been hunting for a couple hours. I hunted slower and took a few breaks which I didn't doo last weekend.
These schools were not quite as loaded as the one from Sunday and I did see some traces that someone had detected there fairly recently, loose holes with a trash presents put back in the bottom. Anyway, they were nice enough to miss a lot of nice keepers and I popped out over 200 coins total for the day.
It was a keeper earring sort of day. I ended up with two really sweet large somewhat heavy gold earrings both stamped 10K. My silver keepers were a large hoop 925 earring, and silver chain and heart bracelet stamped 925 Tiffiny and Co but it's pretty beat up as the one school had pea gravel under the woodchips and this was down in the gravel. Then a rare find, a pair of earrings both stamped 925, heavy scallop loop style ones and they were found tied togther with the clasp. This is only the third time I have found a matching pair of earrirngs... the "rare" part.
Today's totals were as follows, 5 hours hunt time with a nice pouchful of keepers and other finds, 206 coins for a $14.05 face value. Included in that were two more Sac $1 coins which are fun to find and a nice pile of trinkets including 4 more rings. That puts me at 71 rings total for the season (24 gold and silver and 47 trinket).
Thanks for reading and I hope you all can get out this weekend and have some good fortune! Happy hunting!!!
Smiles!
