Default Good weekend...

My youngest son and I were out Saturday for a couple of hours at a spot we had been to before. We both found a wheat penny, and I found some sort of small locket charm. I think its made of pressed brass or copper. Nothing special.

Yesterday, my wife had found a razed home site we had never hunted before. We headed out and found out that we couldn't hunt it. So we spent an hour or so in the state park. There we found some clad a pile of pull tabs and bottlecaps and a couple of doodads.

Growing tired of this spot, I decided to gather the family up and head to an old picnic grove we had hunted twice before. Previously, combined we had only ever pulled one wheat penny from this site, but new it to be old and targets were plenty. I figured if anything it would keep the 12 year old digging and interested. Well, that decision to move to the grove ended up being a good one.

By days end, between four of us we pulled 9 wheat pennies, a merc dime, a 64 washington quarter and a pile of clad.

I got the washington quarter right in the driveway of the turn around.
My youngest got the merc dime with his ace 250 right at the edge of the driveway about 30 feet from where I found the Washington.

My wife found 3 wheat pennys by the bathroom shack with her AT PRO.

And my oldest son found 6 wheat pennys behind the horse shoe pits and he was still finding targets as we were packing up in the dark to leave.

Not a bad weekend, 11 wheats and 2 silvers.

Tonight I will clean everything up and get some pictures.
