Some luck the last few trips

I've been working 4/12's so been trying to get in a couple hours before work. I hit a lot in town on Sunday I had permission to hunt (saw Kickback and had a nice chat, good to see he weathered the winter) and managed to find 5 pennies (2 wheaties) and a dime. I threw the dime on the counter to clean it when I got home and heard that sound, and it turned out to be a 1948S so I was pleased. Yesterday I hit the vacant lot down the street from my house. The kids were at school so managed a couple of hours there, dug pounds of junque, and 2 wheaties and some clad. Still hankering for a fix, I loaded up my faithful companions, the dynamic schnauzer duo, and headed for Canada. Managed to find 1 loonie, 4 quarters, 5 dimes, 6 pennies and 1 lone nickel that drove me bonkers. Canadian nickels & dimes are a bugger, I started digging a good signal, then it just quit! Managed to find the nickel in the plug tho. Several of the Canadian pennies were older, a 1940, 1941, & 2-1951's. Managed to find 1 silver, a 1941 dime, and also my 2nd ring. Little bitty bugger, the wife thinks it's gold, I'm not so sure, but it was nice to find.

Now I have to find some new spots, the old reliables are getting kind of picked over. Thanks for looking, and take care friends...

Funny you should mention that about Canadian coins. I dig Canadians quite often here in Michigan. Yesterday I was working the slopes of some sand dunes where people sled and ski and I got a fairly weak quarter signal. I pinpointed it and dug some sand out and then ran the coil over the hole and nothing. I moved the coil around the area and still nothing...the signal was gone. I look around and I see just barely the side of a coin sticking up through the sand. I run my coil right over it and still nothing. I pull it out and it is a 1999 Canadian Quarter. My coil couldn't see it standing on edge only when laying flat. Makes me wonder how many coins I walk right over.
