    Lunch break silver

    Sunday was the last time I swung the coil, so today I took advantage of a little free time around lunch.

    I had just about an hour and a half to hunt and I wanted to make the most of it. Headed to
    the park that always seems to be generous on short hunts but strangely, rather stingy with longer ones.

    The Barber came first, then two Wheat cents and finished the hunt with a Rosie.
    My first multi-silver hunt from this park this year.



    Just one of those lucky days when the silver got under my coil quickly.

    Yeah, ya gotta love the short hunts that produce. It stinks to hunt for four or five hours only to come up with clad and junk. Great job!
