We were planning to come to the PATH Spring Hunt but had found out that it was in the afternoon only. 
That wasn't going to work with Larry's work schedule. He's been swamped lately. So with it being so nice out today, we decided to go for a drive and do some detecting. The weather couldn't have been any better. I hope others had a fun time detecting today as much as Larry and I did.
It was an all around "cache" day for me. First dig was 2-dimes, 1- nickel and a cent.....all clad in one hole. Then after a short time, I was hitting wheat cents. One hole had 3 wheat cents in it and another had 4 wheat cents with another wheat an inch away from the plug I dug. What a great day!
When we got home, I was exhausted and Larry washed my finds for me. Thank you Honey.
The flashlight is an LED and Larry thinks it might work with good batteries in it. I knew it was a longer object before digging it. Figured what the heck and dug it. After my muscles and old bones said, "ENOUGH". 
We came home.
Here's my bring home finds. 1940-Merc Dime, 1947-Ros. Dime, 15 - Wheat cents with the oldest being 1917. What fun and oh what pain. The silver dime and other wheat cent on the right are from a different hunt day.
Sorry we had to miss the PATH Hunt, but we managed to have fun today. I think between the two of us, we brought home 24 Wheat cents.
Not too bad with a broken foot.

I don't know what it is but that bent piece of flattened copper sure sounded pretty. 
HH and thanks for looking.
Congratulations honey, you had a great day 
Sorry to miss the club hunt, I was looking forward to going, the timing was just bad for me.
