Has been very hot and very dry here lately, but we've finally gotten a couple inches of rain over the past few days, and the temps are in the 80's. I hit up the old honey hole a couple times over the last month, could only stand 1 hour hunts, but I pulled a few goodies out, three .54 round balls, and one .38 pistol round.
Today I had the day off, so I found a city owned property in an older part of town, and hit it up. The house had been torn down and the lot was pretty trashy, could only manage a bunch of mid-60's near silvers, argh. Then I hit up the curb line on my way out and picked up a wheatie, then another, and another, so I kept at it for a bit. Then I pulled my oldest coin yet, an 1880 Indian head, woohoo! It's almost worn smooth, but if you hold it in the right light, you can make out the date. Stayed for a while trying to pull out some silver, but no dice, will have to go back.
Only silver I've gotten lately is from the bank, got three 40% kennedy halves over the past couple weeks, not as exciting as diggin it, but I love silver any way I can get it. HH!!
