Was able to hit 3 spots for short hunts this long weekend
1. ball field at elem. sch. - 1.5 hours - some clad but very junky, finally switched from jewelry to coins setting. Nothing special.
2. 100 year old park - 1.5 hours - clad 5/0/5/4 P/N/D/Q. One penny was a 1949 wheat. There should be some silver here, but I'm sure it's been hit many times by others. I tried to concentrate on wooded areas today. On my way to the car I made one pass down the side of the volleyball court (in the grass) and got three clad quarters in three holes.
3. former elem school site, now a park - 1.0 hour. stopped off for a quick hunt. Went here last summer right after getting my detector, found nothing then but pull tabs and can slaw. Today I found some clad but also found large holes dug with a shovel. One was about 1' by 2' and six inches deep, and had a beer can showing in the bottom. The sod was scattered around the hole. The other five or six holes were smaller, but had been dug with a shovel. I did my good deed and filled them all in the best I could, but the loose dirt had been scattered in the grass. Oh, well, maybe they'll get tired of digging those big holes and give up. I wish I'd had a camera with me.
The cold is due here tomorrow, but next weekend doesn't look too bad.

I ended up finding a nice air force metal a few inches from the head that was on the ground. I know there are foxes (as in animals)
