Just wondering. Is it just me, or has the hunting finds been overly lean this year for everyone? It's almost the end of June, and I know I haven't found much of note this year other than a couple silvers and the sterling ring that made the banner, and 2 Indians. As I remember, last season there were a lot more posts from the regulars here and they almost always had a ton of finds to show.
In my case I know I haven't been out nearly as much as usual. Other than my Florida vacation, I've worked almost every day since February. I'm also moving next month which will keep me occupied for a while too. I do plan to take a couple more breaks from swinging this year to try some gold panning on my area. Just got notice that the sluice I ordered more than a month ago should arrive today.
Anyone have any thoughts on why this year has seemed to be so lacking in finds? I know I've heard from a few people about running out of places to go, and I'm feeling that pinch myself. Anyone else?
