This morning I headed out to one of my best spots (a school), hoping for some silver. It was very cold and the particular area at this spot that I had planned to hunt was mostly under water. It's not so much fun when the hole fills with water after you pull a plug. Still, I scratched around for while and eventually wandered into a different area which started giving up wheats. After 4 or 5 of them I was rewarded with a bit of silver - a '59 Rosie. I dug a few more wheats and a '45 Canadian penny before heading home.
I got out a second time after dinner. I gave another school a try, focusing on an odd area of the property that had given up many wheats and an odd assortment of silver in the past. Targets were sparse, but among the few coins I dug were another two wheat pennies. As I was making my way back to my car I got a promising signal and was pretty happy to dig a second Rosie for the day, this time a '57. These are not stellar coins by any stretch but I sure am pleased to dig them.
Total for the day was 63 coins worth $4.33 which includes the '45 Canadian penny, 10 wheat pennies, and the two silver dimes.
I'm really going to need to find some new spots. I've hunted every local school absolutely silly, and the stuff I'm still able to eek out gets harder and harder to find. I think I'm going to see a big drop in totals this year if I don't figure something out.
Happy hunting!
