After work hunt

[willie d]

I decided to do a short hunt tonight after work (about 1 hour 20 min). Figured I'd hit up an empty lot close by where fireworks vendors set up their tents. Most of the targets were either coins or pulltabs. I also dug up some nails and a couple of light bulb ends.

Believe it or not, they use the lot twice a year to sell fireworks (4th of July and new years eve). They just removed the tent a few days ago. The lot has some history to it. If I can pull myself away from beach hunting, maybe I can find some of the deeper stuff.

That looks like the contents of my pockets tonight if you throw in a dozen screwcaps and an Indian Head penny.

You are on the path!

Is there any old glass in that area?

I didn't see any old glass, but there's probably some there. Maybe next time.

Light bulb ends? Man - something else I gotta add to my wish list. Haven't got any of those yet!

I'm envious of you down there by the water, and It will only get worse when it gets cold up here and the ground freezes!

I hope you grab some silver outta that lot next time.

As much as I hate finding pulltabs like that, it does give me hope that there are plenty of good finds in the area as long as my patience holds out. Tells you that it hasn't been hunted very well in many years.

LOL The light bulb ends aren't as exciting as they sound. That's alright, I envy you folks up north who find seated coins and large cents. Hopefully there is some silver there. That would be nice, in 8 years I've only found 2 war nickels.

I have the same attitude. What makes it worse is the easy digging at the beach has made me a little lazy when it comes to turf digging.
