Thankfully the weather-liars were wrong! They had forecasted thunderstorms all day, but all it did was drizzle off and on a few times.
So, once again I set out to make the most of the day by hunting for treasure! I had been hunting the same small spot ever day so far, so I decided I would try some other spots. My research had shown me many other spots, all over 100 years that could be great spots. I spent about 3 hours at the first, and found 4 nails a memorial and clad dime. :angry:
I went to a second spot and spent an hour and a half and found a grand total of nothing! :ticked: again.
Now I was frustrated so I went to a 1800's park in another town a short distance away. A couple hours and all I got were pull-tab pieces, 1 nickel and one clad quarter. these were the only non-junk signals I had. So now I'm bummed. All these great spot had bubkis. I guess everyone else has hit these same great spots just like I did. Felt like I was :beatdeadhorse:
I don't know if I will get to detect any more (weathermen, you know) so I didn't want to waste daylight. I went back to the same spot I have been hunting everyday. I picked up my 90 degree cross search where I left off at dark yesterday, and immediately began finding memorials, nickels, dimes, quarters and 2 more wheats. I also found a really nice, large womens sterling ring covered in a floral pattern. :peace:
It was both a :bangahead01: and a :happydance01: hunt. After so much driving and fruitless hunting, I go back and pull my 4th silver from this swimming pool spot. I guess if I can hunt for my last 2 hours of daylight tomorrow I will be back here, continuing my gridding.
Thanks for reading! Pics coming, I promise!
