A Cold but Fat day

[McCDig]

Another cold day in Baltimore; it felt colder than Friday. I hunted for just two hours and, at that point, the feet were getting cold and the sun had just set, so it was time to head home.

This was my fifth consecutive hunt at this city park. Again I worked the edge of the walkway ... and with some good results.

I dug just two coins but they were both Indian Head cents, one a fatty with a date of 1863 and the other 1882. Along the way there were some pottery pieces, a marble, a specimen square nail that looks as if it may be brass, and a small decorative glass leaf in a metal holder.

So the streak of Indians is kept going, at least one over the past five hunts here and ten total since the current streak began. I hope to get back on Tuesday and see if the next hunt can produce at least one more.

Happy Hunting!!

Thanks Scott. Tomorrow looks like another good day to detect and I hope to hit the ground by 10 AM.

Thx angleofattack! I'll take your enthusiasm with me tomorrow as I fire up the coil and listen for that "Indian" tone.

Thank texjim! I remember back in September when I hit a dry spell at this park and vowed to stay away for awhile. That I did. But now, after the rains have penetrated the soil, I'm again hearing the Indians. We'll see how I fare tomorrow. Happy Hunting!

Nice job McCdig. You will need that fat(ty) Indian to get you thru the long winter ahead.
