Short Hunt Brings Silver and Gold!
Howdy Folks!
I had the day off yesterday, and should have spent a great deal of time hunting.
That did not happen. The weather was overcast and cool, and the recent snow still covered too much ground.
I went out an played around a little, but just couldn't get 'into it'.
So today, I was supposed to work. Unfortunately for me as a driver, the differential in my car is going bad.
And today it was really bad. So bad, in fact, that I decided I couldn't work with my car acting as it was.
So I called another driver in to take my place and headed home around 3pm today.
Taking my wife's car, I went out to hit a couple of sites. Today was warmer and sunny, and most of the snow
was gone from those locations I visited; all both of them.
At the first location, within minutes of starting my hunt, I found a 14k baptisimal medal. Got some clad, but my best find was the gold.
Then I went to the second location and found a nice 1964 Roosevelt dime. Silver!!!! Haven't found a silver coin in awhile, apart from that 1943 war nickel I found last week, it's been a dry spell for me!
Anyhow, when the sun set, the temperature dropped like a stone. I loaded my MXT Pro back into the car and headed for home.
Guess I'll just be satisfied with silver and gold on this hunt, although I believe more was out there and calling my name.

My take was only:
18 Quarters = $4.50
3 Nickels = $.15
7 Dimes = $0.70
20 Pennies = $0.20
2 Dollar Coins = $2.00
Total = $7.55
Coin Count = 50 Coins.
Thanks for Looking!
