3 pretty nice hunts, the first was last week Sunday where I went to what use to be the H.S. football field now the middle school and converted to a couple of soccer fields. The etrac worked pretty hard as I did get two Silver Rosie dimes both between 8 and 9 inches along with 7 Wheat's about the same depth. Lots of clad above that kept me busy and smiling. The 2 Silvers made it 11 straight hunts finding Silver coins.
Yesterday I got permission 0n a 1800's farm yard. I did pretty good with 5 Silvers and 8 Wheat's but was disappointed as to not find older coins. Still looking for my first Indian of the year. The Silvers are a dateless SLQ and a 44 Washington. A 59' Rosie and 2 Merc's. A 1944 and a 1916. No mint mark on the 16'. Made the Silver coin streak 12. The tough part of this location was the grass was at least 6 inches high with lots of brush and tree branches to dodge with your head. Was only allowed on the property for a little over 2 hours and had to leave when the owner left. Finished the hunt at the local school and picked up a healthy addition of clad. Did also find another Tootsietoy, this being a airplane in pretty good condition. Another note is I also picked up 4 ticks on the unkept or neglected property. I would like to tell all about the owner but that would be a story all in its own.
Today I went back to the Site I started this thread with. I hunted it hard and just could not pull a Silver. For that matter not even a Wheat penny. Did get another Sacagawea dollar coin, a Chuckie Cheese Token along with 29 nickels in the digs. Total clad for the hunt was $13.54. Well maybe next time out I can start a new streak. HH all. Jack

someday, I'll get one. Don't feel bad on breaking your streak. I'm at a streak of 41 hunts with no silver, so hopefully we can both start a new streak this week.
