The hot and dry weather has forced me to think outside the box for places to hunt. I have been hitting construction sites lately but the ones I have been hitting have ended and I am waiting for new ones to start. In the meantime I have found a few spots worth exploring where the river or creek bed has been exposed due to low water levels. I tried one of these spots out today and was rewarded with silver in just a small area in about 45 minutes.

1944S War Nickel and 1944 Wheat Cent

Also found a real rusted jack knife and lots of fishing lead, can anyone date any of these sinkers by their markings?
