Today I had the opportunity for a hunt longer than the usual two hours, so off I went to another site I had on my list of places to check out. Once there though I had to wait a while since the grass was being mowed at the time. Meanwhile I worked a small area near several large trees. Not much ground to cover, but it did yield the first coin I picked up today, a 1878 Silver Canada Victoria Five Cent piece. There wasn't much else there other than a button and part of a buckle. Once the grass was mowed I moved on to the area I had originally intended to work. Targets were sparse, lacking even much in the way of clad coins. I worked that area and a few others, and by the time I called it quits I had 13 silver coins in my pouch.




The Canada 5-cent piece, dated 1878.






The following finds are from other recent hunts.
