First Hunt In Quite A While

[diggin4clad]

I managed to get out for a couple of hours today at a 1930 schoolyard which borders a huge soccer field. I've hunted here before and the site has given up some silver dimes, a 14K wedding ring, and a one ounce pure silver round, plus a large amount of clad. I hadn't been here since 2023 so I figured I'd go over it again and hope for the best. Didn't get any silver today but managed to squeeze out 32 coins with a face value of $5.06. One of the pennies was a common date wheat cent.....1956-D.

Nice to see you pull more clad, and by the way, nice purchases from your cans and clad at the coin show!

Thanks......dug silver is just about non-existent around here nowadays but at least I can buy some with the clad finds.

True my friend, so very true. Supposed to hit the 40's later this week. May be able to hit the tot lot then. Well done Ed. Gittum while you can.

Good find. I’d love to go out today. Temp is an unusual 50 but we have 37 mph wind gusts

Thank you......Around here I can usually hunt all of November and maybe the first week of December. After that, December hunts are not guaranteed due to frozen ground.

Thanks Bill, probably have three more weekends with soft ground, after that it's only a maybe.

You've given me an idea...it's time to revisit some of those sites I haven't hunted in a while. Congrats on the finds...

Thank you......hopefully the sites that you re-visit will give you some positive results.

Congrats on your finds. Not every hunt produces silver. Keep poking around there, being a 1930s school there's probably silver, you just haven't walked over it yet. Good luck.

I have found silver there and gold too. You must have missed that in my original post.
