It's not that I'm not finding anything, but I'm having to work way too hard to recover targets in all this heat. The clay ground is turning into concrete due to the like of rain. Detecting is suppose to be fun, not hard work.
Anyhow I got a early start this morning and went back to the last site that I detected to see if I missed anything. No silver but I did find a couple of nickels and a few clad coins.
After leaving that site I headed out to a early fifties sports field to see I could find a gold ring. I didn't find anything worth while. That site has been pounded to death by me and others, so I headed off to find some curb strips to detect.
As I was detecting some curb strips a man backs up in the yard next door, gets out and starts up a conversation with me. Come to find out, we lived in the same neighbor hood when we were kids, but we went to different schools. Heck he even lives near where I live now. He was at a late forties house that his two daughters own to do some repair work because they were getting ready to sell it and buy another home.
Next thing you know I asked him if it would be alright for me to detect his daughters' yard. He said sure have at it. Thankfully, most of the yard was shaded. His truck was backed up in the yard at the most likely place for there to be silver coins, but I didn't have the heart to ask him to move his trunk out in the hot sun, since he was working out of the back of it to do repairs to the house.
I was wearing down fast, but I did manage to find a 1945 Mercury dime, a 1946 Rosie dime, 5 wheat pennies and a few clad coins. I sure can't wait until Fall gets here with some cooler temperatures.
