Default Sunday's Hunt

I went to a hunt put on by the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the FMDAC in conjunction with the GPAA in Carlisle, PA.

It was a seeded hunt held at a fairgrounds. I got 5 Kennedy silver halves and 68 silver dimes, no tokens and didn't win any raffles. Also found 7 pennies and 2 clad dimes that had been in the ground.

As it was a fairgrounds that is still in use, there was alot of trash, which could be redeemed for raffle tickets.....I did very good with that, about 40 pieces of trash .

Hunt cost was $75, spent about $30 on raffles, $15 on food, probably about $12 in gas (hunt was about 90 miles away),

so this hunt didn't pay for itself and it was windy and cold to boot.......

But......It was still alot of Fun!

Hey JC, did get to meet a few new ones, that's part of the fun, exchanging stories about finds and equipment, where they're from and hunt, etc. Also there were quite a few there that I know from other hunts. In total, there were about 50-60 hunters. The GPAA was having a show and I wanted to go, but had to get home to work, maybe next time.

Hey gordiesgirl, It was expensive, it's always nice to come out ahead but this time I didn't win a thing, I guess it's just as well, keeps me from getting spoiled .
