Default Quick Little Hunt A Few Finds New Hot Spot

Well got out for maybe a short 45 min hunt late Sat evening at a park in a small town where I grew up most of my life. Never hunted there before. Walked down to the park area decide where to start hunting, obvious choice near the concession stand, turn on the F75 bet I didn't take 5 steps & got a coin signal, looked down & saw some thing shiny & I was like O crude it's just a piece of foil & I reach down to get it, & there sitting on top of the ground just barely under grass was the shiny new quarter. Some days ya just know are gona have fun hunting. I went around one tree & covered maybe a 15 to 20 ft area in my short hunt & found one quarter, 3 dimes & 6 pennies with one of them being a 1944 Wheatie & we all know what that means if you find a wheatie then hey there could still be silver there somewhere. Had to stop as it was raining now which I han't barely noticed until it started raining harder & I was like Dang I guess I better stop. One of those fun places to hunt that I don't think maybe anyone else has hunted because in that short time I didn't have to walk to far before getting coins hits all around me. Lot's of other hits there also, so have to remember to take the small coil with me next time to try & get between them a little. Love finding these kind of spots where ya can practice technique, finds all the coins ya want & who knows maybe I'll even find some older coins there after that wheatie. So after working pretty hard for the past few weeks & not much time to hunt I have a break now for a couple of weeks, so hope I can get in a bunch of time to hunt. Looking forward to it, if it wil just stop raining here!!!
