Good Short Hunt

[Old Longhair]

Hit a closed school today on my way home. Everyone has hunted this place over the years, even me. But is still produces a little from time to time, and today was no different. First two targets were newer Canadian quarter and dime, and after that came another $1.50 or so in clad and copper mems. Somewhat dissappointed I was working back towards the van and I got a '41 wheat, then a '46D that had a '47D quarter right next to it. Hit another wheat ('57D) before packing it in, but I'm going back to that peticular area, as I'm pretty sure that there's more right there.

That's a great Fishing trip, may you be blessed with many more. I am sure you will find more. I think with the drought that caused the earth to crack and then rain swelling the ground back to normal moves un-findable coins making some easier to find and others harder; it's my theory that past productive sights that became unproductive will produce more because of the drought but that's just my humble opinion.
Would you agree with that statement?

That may well be the case Todd. I'm usually more concerned with things being too wet around here, but this year I had trees die because of the drought. Directly behind my house is a peat bog (my land), and it's been so dry this summer that I was seriously afraid of a bog fire.

Up here in cold country, we also have the element of frost. It heaves the pavement,breaking the roads, and pushes rocks up from the deep. Under the sod things are constantly on the move. I believe that it's one reason for why I can find a wheatie on the surface right next to a zincoln @ 8".

Nice finds.
Still amazes me the way old coins seem to appear in worked spots. I still find some in my medium sized yard (worked every inch of that yard over 30 yrs and every time I dig or plant)
Found a 1907 Indian on the surface last spring.

Congrat's on the nice finds.

I have notice that at most old schools that I go to I will find old coins in a small area and no where else and I don't know why that is.

Yep!

Went back today for another short while. Scored 7 clad quarters, 5 clad dimes, 14 copper mems, 1 really crusty '44 wheat, and this...
