Howdy Folks!
Just dropped by to let ya'll know I ain't dead yet. Not for lack of trying though! LOL!
After a week of cold and snow (talking about below zero for high temps during the day)
I got out for several hunts in the past week. The last few days have been fabulous,
with highs in the 60s, but until the last couple of days, we still had snow on the ground.
So, out I went armed with my trusty rock hammer and detector, and did a bit of hunting.
What you see here are the result of 4 hunts. The first was about a week back, the next
was Saturday, then comes Sunday, and taking a couple of days to rest up and give my knee a little TLC, the last was last evening.
It was a disappointing week, and I found no silver or gold.
This left me wondering if I've lost my touch, but then remember that kids dislike going out to play when the temperature is well below zero and there's ice and snow on their tot lots. So maybe it ain't just me.
Anyhow, the first hunt gave up:
15 Quarters = $3.75
1 Nickel = $0.05
2 Dimes = $0.10
4 Pennies = $0.04
Total = $3.94
Coin Count = 22 Coins.
Saturday was mild and decent, and my take was:
13 Quarters = $3.25
4 Nickels = $0.20
4 Dimes = $0.40
25 Pennies = $0.25
1 Prez Dollar = $1.00
Total = $5.10
Sunday rolled around, but my knee seemed bothersome, so I didn't hunt as much as I would have liked:
10 Quarters = $2.50
6 Nickels = $0.30
8 Dimes = $0.80
28 Pennies = $0.28
Total = $3.88
Coin Count = 52 Coins
Last evening was my best take in the last week, but still pathetic. No silver or gold!
24 Quarters = $6.00
5 Nickels = $0.25
11 Dimes = $1.10
50 Pennies = $0.50
Total = $7.85
Coin Count = 90 Coins.
Had I known I was that close to a century hunt, I'd have gone to one more stop!
-----------------
Grand totals, all 4 hunts:
62 Quarters = $15.50
16 Nickels = $0.80
25 Dimes = $2.50
107 Pennies = $1.07
1 Prez Dollar = $1.00
Total = $20.87
Coin Count = 211 Coins!
Also found a Denver Bronco pin, probably discarded after this last season's dismal performance. An earring that looked gold, but ain't. 2 pins that state No Place for
Hate and the bottom says Anti-Discrimination League. A real nice looking crucifix,
4 little Mickey Mouse hearts, and several curious items.
Thanks for Lookin',
Blessings,
