I went out for 6 hrs today, it was +1 (33. 8 ) degrees and windy. I was glad that I took a huge cup of hot coffee with me! I think it might be my last hunt of the year; work is going to be very crazy starting tomorrow, and the snow will surely be here in a matter of a few weeks. :veryangry:
I started at a few spots that I go to often, but not much luck today. Then I got permission to do around a house built in 1903--a few pennies from the 1990's, and one lonely silver 1961 dime. I guess the guys that detected it 25 yrs ago missed it. I found a few more odds and ends. The last coin of the day (and possibly of the season) was found across the street by the old sidewalk, the 1965 silver dime. That puts my silver coin count for the season at 44. When I got home and recorded my finds, I realized that the 1965 silver was also my 880th coin for the season. That makes my silver coins exactly 5% of all my coin finds!
I know 880 coins for a 6 month season isn't a lot, but I would rather find 2 or 3 oldies than a pile of clad.
