Hi all-
Made it out a few times this weekend. Thursday was a quick clad hunt with a friend and Friday I made a 45 minute drive up to an old park that I'd been to before. The place has been heavily hunted and I'm just not experienced enough with the E-trac to find the difficult targets. I ended up finding a wheat penny and a neat earring with .925 stamped on the back, so that was fun.
Saturday I decided to stay closer to home so I tried one of the oldest schools in my area. It's not particularly old (late 1950's) and I'd been there a couple of times before with only marginal luck. Well, I think I finally found the hot spot on the property. In a 20x20 area, I ended up digging two Rosie's ('58 & 60) and eight pennies with dates from 1959-64. I also picked up a 1948 wheatie in a different area. So, nothing particularily earth shattering, but I'm really excited to have a potential honey hole for silver Rosie's and maybe even some Washington's!
Thanks for looking! HH- Viking
