2/4/2016 Finds

[muerte33]

Hit a local community center, and found a 1962 Roosevelt Dime, and 4 wheat pennies (1942, 1949, 1949, 1952).
Probably need to revisit that location.
Also went back to a closed elementary school, and dug a little more clad.
I even did the old sidewalks that have been there since the 1960's.
I guess someone beat me to this location.
I am going to cross it off the list.

That is one good thing about living so far south is we can basically hunt year round.
We do seem to get a LOT of rain this time of year though.
I want to get into creek hunting this summer, because last summer it was HOT.
I just need to watch our for our snakes, alligators, and snapping turtles.
I can remember when I was a kid, I hardly EVER saw alligators, now they are everywhere.

Congratz on your finds, especially the silver! You are right about the gators. I think it's time to make it legal to kill them again. Every summer I have 1-3 gators live in the cove behind my house and I have 4 little dogs! I called Wildlife and Game multiple times last year and got nothing but promises. When I suggested that I would take care of the problem myself, I was told it was something like a $5k fine and mandatory 30 days in jail. So, I decided the reward was not worth the risk.

Went back to the community center today, and only got a 1951 wheatie, the rest clad.
I guess that well has dried up.
That really bums me out.
I was really hoping for another silver.

Nick, you didn't miss much Saturday. Good bit of trash, finished with a broken pocket knife, whistle, a couple of memorials and 1921 wheat.
But fun as always.

That is a really old wheatie!
I went out in the woods today and found a round tin.
I have not opened it yet (the buffalo nickel is just for size comparison).


Looks like it was not percussion caps!


Looks like an old can of snuff.

Probably grandma's old snuff.
