Howdy Folks!
I've started back to work, at least on a reduced schedule. It has been strange going back to work after being out so long as I have. Meanwhile, my last visit with the doc was last week, and he claimed I've made terrific progress with my leg. He sounded like I done real well and without physical therapy. I told him about the exercises I've been doing on my own, and he recommended I continue doing whatever it is I'm doing, because I'm evidently doing something right.
I decided to hunt with my trusty MXT 300 yesterday and give the MXT Pro a rest!
Anyhow, I had to work yesterday but not until about 4:00pm. So I left the house around 10:30 and got to my first location around 11:00ish. I found some clad at my first and second stop, but mostly found them disappointing. Then I hit my third location and found a 1956 silver Rosie. I also found a 1946 wheat penny at my second stop of the day, but the 3rd location gave up the silver. There wasn't much else there until I hit one spot about 6 feet by 4 feet, and there must've been 30 to 40 coins in that small plot, mostly pennies with a few dimes.
So I showed up for work and got off around 8:40pm and got some gas before hitting a location in Brighton. Musta been around 9:00pm when I finally arrived. I hit two large tot lots there and found almost nothing. I found only about 6 or 7 coins before I happened upon one hole that held something like 30 to 35 coins. I ended up walking off with 42 coins and was done by 9:25! I actually got weary of being hunched over that same spot for much of the time I was there. But so long as coins kept coming, I kept taking them in. Pennies, dimes, nickels galore. All within a 1 foot circle. Not too shabby!
My take was:
16 Quarters = $4.00
33 Nickels = $1.65
25 Dimes = $2.50
89 Pennies = $0.89
Total = $9.04
Coin Count = 163 Coins!
Unfortunately, I did not find gold on this trip, but did manage silver. The totals above do not include the silver Rosie or the wheat penny.
Oddities I found was something that looked like a flower but a big honking piece. I found a cheapie ring too. There was a small earring that I thought might be gold, but it ain't. There was one item shaped like a pyramid, but I have no clue what it is or what it might be useful for. Several other items were interesting, but not of any value other than curiosity.
Blessings,
