I can think of Worse ways to waste 2 hours

Went to a park about 20 minutes drive north of me today thinking I might find something good...
The Park is maintained by a Lion's Club that has a building there where they hold meetings....
It is also a Boy Scout Camp, Boat Launch, and Ball Fields...
The place was loaded with so much foil, pull tabs, screw caps, and iron junk, I was glad that I had the DD coil...
I managed a bit of clad, a cool tag, and a stainless steel spinner ring...
The Ground was wet and covered in about 1/2 inch of heavy wet snow...All readings were about 5 points higher on the VDI than usual...Screw caps were coming in solid 80-82, where they usually drop out at about 78...I kept thinking dime when I first got there, then later I was doubting myself and did not want to dig them anymore, but knew I had to....Arrrrghhhh!!!!

Sunday Hunt in February???

The sun was shining, the wind was not too bad, and the temps were tollerable...Who would have thought this in February in New York?
Hunted a Middle School near me for 2 1/2 hours...not much to be had...Saw another hunter, but when he saw us on the field, he retreated...His loss I guess...
Oldest coins were 1941 and 1953D wheats...Have no idea what the half a bearing race looking thing is...It bends like pewter, but looks like a bearing race...pretty design for that though. It rang up a solid 70 on the AT Pro.



Happy Hunting,

Getting Ready for Water Hunting

My new long handled scoop...This was custom made for a friend of mine who found that with his health problems, that he could no longer use it, so I offered to buy it from him...I got this for a fraction of the price of a new scoop online...It is built like a tank and a very good job on the welds and anodizing of the bucket....









I look forward to getting wet this year...

Happy Hunting,
