Got in several hunts last week hi-lited by a 1936 FDR political pin, 3 Mercs a Rosie, 1 War Nickel a V nickel (in cleaning solution no photo) and 23 wheat pennies (also soaking). Also had an unusual clad week finding $22.12 in change including a clad half spill of 2 coins. The seeded hunt occurred Saturday. I had my reservations about doing one of these but it was a new memorial hunt for a member of a club who passed away. I am glad I did it as it was really well run and I had a good time. There were 3 hunts. The 1st hunt was a warm up hunt which had a bunch of foreign coins (including some silver canadian coins, US wheats and a Geo cache inclusion, which had wheat pennies painted yellow that had coordinate numbers on them. Of course I found a bunch of these as I had no clue and no way of figuring out the location of the prize, it was still fun. Second hunt was full of some newer US silver , nickels (buffalo, war nickels and V nickels) some older foreign coins and Indians and wheat pennies. This was another fun hunt. The last hunt was a pretty big event. Brass tokens were hidden with lots of US silver and clad coins. The top brass token prize was a US $1 gold coin. I didn't win the gold coin but I did get a nice packet of stuff included in the photo. Day also included free Lunch and soda and water all day. All in all this was a great event. Got to admit I did not think a seeded hunt was going to be this fun. Wisconsin Digger
