I got up to New Britain this morning to hunt an old park in town. I had an appointment in a nearby town so I planned my hunt accordingly.
Today's conditions were not very conducive to the hobby. I've never encountered such dry hard soil as I did today. It was like concrete. Forget about deep targets. I couldn't get my Lesche digger more than halfway in the dirt. That plus the heat made any good finds hard won.
I also found a pretty heavy metallic object that I believe is a bullet of some sort. It looks pretty old.
My best take was this 1940 Wheat and a 1940 silver Canadian dime, both in the same hole!! It felt great getting a little payoff for all the hard work. Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :groovy:

erfect10:! :congrats: on the silver! Hope you get some rain soon. I feel your pain! We just now got some rain. That softened the ground. It was really dry here too. (Mich.) Course. There's no rain predicted again for some time to come. So It will be back to the cement. HH! And WTG! |:cheering:
