Hi all,
It was going to be rather warm and sunny today, so I left early this morning for a quick 2-hour hunt..I ended up going to the school where I found a silver quarter and a 14K ring back in March..there were a few things I missed, including a ring of keys and a 925 silver pendant.
As far as coins, I dug 12 pennies, 1 dime, 4 nickels and 17 quarters..I came across a several pocket spills, including one that contained 3 quarters and another that had 4 in the same hole.
Eventually it started to get hot, so I decided to quit for a while. Before I left I told myself "One more quarter" but I found it fairly quickly, so I challenged myself to find one more. I was glad I did..toward the end of the field I got a strong quarter signal and dug a Sac dollar (I always enjoy finding those, they're such a nice change of pace from regular clad).
After going over the hole again I had another signal and out came a quarter.
As I was about to cover the hole I got another signal, thinking it was possibly another quarter, but it turned out to be a Susan B. dollar.
Just as I thought that was it, I got a 50-cent signal just to the left of the hole, which turned out to be a Kennedy half, my 4th one so far this year. I scanned the area within about a 6-foot radius of "the big spill" but that was all the ground was going to give up..it was the first time I've ever dug 4 coins in the same place that totalled more than a dollar so I thought I'd share my joy with all of you
I ended up with $7.17 and some silver, not too bad for a quick morning hunt.
Hope you all find a little treasure this weekend.

I barely found two dollars today......I drove fifty miles!

if I don't conquer my addiction! You know what I'm talking about
Half dollars are always hard to find. Found my first Kennedy half 2-3 weeks ago.
