Windy but good results..

[DFX-SE Gregg]

Well I decided to go to a park I have been to a few times...been waiting for a day when less people would be in the park...today was the day a little rain, 40mph winds and cold.. So off I went...put fresh battery pack in and when I went up on top of the hill by a bench I knew I had found the right spot....started hitting nickels of all things...so I thought I will work my way down the hill on one of four sides...well I never finished one side...dug up 105 coins...close to 80 off one side of the hill and bench area on top of hill...The ring came up like a quarter but appears to be copper...looks like a roadrunner by a cactus tree... The winds got the best of me...and I had some more stuff to take care of at home...ended up staying an hour to long to start with... So I will hit this spot again...might bring some utility flags or cones if not to windy and grid this one out...no matter which direction I went there were coins...

I'm looking out my window at work in Waukegan, IL and thinking to myself, "Why in the world would anyone want to be outside on a day like today"? I hope that the weekend shapes up to be as nice as predicted. Amazing amount of finds!

ya know if I found 100 coins in one day...it would be a 911 call for sure... excellent finds....

Nice finds and happy to see those 100+ days again. 12,000 is just around the corner!!

 

[Evolution]

Less than 500 to go. Good job Greg.

That is funny! That is what I was thinking and made me pick this park and hill....usually always people sitting up there and on it...did see a couple people walking there dogs...

Not sure Jack I am really ready to slow down...went from 3 to 4 hunts a week...a few months back...been hell on the back and knees...

 

[DFX-SE Gregg]

Less than 500 to go. Good job Greg.

If I did not add that extra hunt I would have been digging in the snow for sure...hell I probably will be again anyways! Thanks...

Nice Haul, try leaving the dirt in the hole (Joke)

Keep @ it and HH!!

 

[weasel606]

WTG gregg ! your getting closer to your goal and goodluck on your next hunt

 

[rebelLT]

did you get your pinpointer back? I think I will fire up the XLT tommorow and try some clad hunting (XLT is much easier to swing and faster pinpointing and recovering). Maybe I'll find 100 quarters :P. Keep going, your almost there.

Yes I got a new pinpointer back yesterday...got kind of muddy!

 

[Dimeman]

100+ coins....you must have your pinpointer back in action!!!!!!

Good job as usual, sir.

Nice finds---That's a lot of goodies.

Nice going man,you are really dedicated to making your quota. With so many coins popping up on that hill there is bound to be some older stuff down deeper,maybe after you hit your mark you can work that hill real slow and dig all the deeper stuff. I think you could go out and dig all 500 coins if you know the right spot. If you know where an old drive-in is you can work around the playground and if it hasnt been hunted Id say you could easy dig 500 coins in a day,HH...Shoot
p.s. if you dont know where an old drive-in is click here and find one http://www.drive-ins.com/dbdisrch.htm/status_op=closed
