A few hunts worth, and finally rain!

LandOLincoln · Jul 20, 2018

This is a few hunts worth from the last week with the equinox 800. $10.60 clad total. Most of the clad came from tot lots and the park on 2 different days. I took my boat out to a small sand beach on the rock river,forgot my scoop at home, only got a little clad and the copper ring, but it was nice to get the boat out. I should add, been using beach 1 for freshwater and in the sand here, seems to work great. Otherwise I have just been running park 1. Then today I got time to do a permission from another neighbor between rainstorms, thats where I found about 2$ in clad, the 2 mercs 1918 D, and 1941, 2 rosies, and 11 more wheats(oldest were 20,28,39d), the key, pin, and bullet. Can anyone id this bullet?

Congrats on all the many nice finds! If you found anymore, you would need a bigger serving tray.

Nice report. I like the way it all adds up. Good to see your silver finds too.
Don't know the bullet. How about "rifle slug"? There. Mystery solved. :lol:

Having a very nice first year

Filling the clad jar fast and mixing in some very nice keepers.
I can not help but notice the way your jumping around from one hunting environment to another .
Looking forward to the next report as always.

Thanks, rifle slug ftw, I forgot its all but impossible to accurately id a bullet. When i found it, I wondered if it was old. I do live right in the middle of a densly populated urban area, and the sound gunshots are not uncommon, but this area was all farmland before 1940.

Thanks, yes I do move around a lot. I try to research a place to hunt, like a forclosure property, hunt that then head to a park. I have a 50cc scooter that gets great gas mileage too.

Thanks, im very pleased how much clad I have found so far this year! I average between 1-5$ in change everytime I go out.
