LLK and Dad still at it in the heat!

[willpond & LLK]

Well we started out on the evening of the 4th hitting the local grade school for an hour. Nothing but a few $$ in clad. Not real exciting, but had a blast with my daughter! Got back out Sunday morning, went to an old closed down grade school in a neighboring town. If you want to see a place that has been hit hard over the years, this is it. It is tough hunt to find a pulltab there. LLK hit the big trees first, she likes to make me dig through tree roots. After 20 minutes she got a strong nickel signal, and at 4" deep under the wonderful tree roots, out popped a 1934 Buffalo Nickel, 1/4 horn, full date. I still had nothing! 10 minutes latter she uncovered a Memorial cent, and I had a broken screw!!! We then moved to another site, it was crawling with people, so we pushed on to another spot. I found a corroded windproof lighter, LLK had zip We then went home to regroup and have some lunch. She helped me build a new pen for her peacocks, then we hit the grade school again a few more clad coins, we called the hunt due to heat and bugs! We will hit it hard again this weekend!

That girl is running circles around both of us!!! Nice finds!

You are lucky. I wish my daughter was that age again so we could hunt together. She's in her 30's with kids of her own now - gotta look to the grandkids for company now! Savor your time together...
