Not My Weekend

[washingtonian]

Hi everyone,

Trying to get out consistently every weekend that I can. Put in 3 hours yesterday at some sidewalk strips in my neighborhood. Worked 3 Corner houses but couldn't manage any silver. I did find 5 Wheats (47S, 56D x2, 57D x2).



Worked a couple parks this morning for a combined 4 hours. First park was a bust. It dates back to the 30s but in several visits my brother and I have yet to pull even a Wheat. He did find a gold ring and I found a silver ring at different points. Tried a new area and still nothing old.

Wanted a change of scenery so I went to a park that my brother I worked to death almost a decade ago. Back then we found a Franklin half, silver washington, a handful of Mercs and War Nickels, loads of wheats, numerous pieces of silver jewelry and a 1920s gold class ring.

No such luck this morning but I did manage a couple wheats to at least pick up something old today. Both are too toasted to really be able to tell what they are but I'd guess 40s based on the history of the area.



I wish you better luck than me and hopefully I'll be back next weekend with something fun to report!

You scored some keepers. That's fine by me. Staring out at a foot of snow has me jealous for your finds buddy. Keep plugging away. Better finds will come.

I wouldn't turn my nose up at a hunt like that right now....

U know that if there are wheats silver is not far behind.

You have no idea what I would give for finding a Wheat Penny right now ! I have been locked up with snow for 2 weeks, and as of this morning there are 15 inches out my window. I'm not going anywhere for a week or two until it melts. Supposed to be in the 40's by Wednesday of next week. That should put the hurt on this fluffy white stuff !

Dang, that sounds awful. That does help put it in perspective. Good luck with the thaw!

I've had so many hunts with only wheaties to show that I lost count. Just keep planing and researching new locations to hunt, the silver will come...I guarantee it!
