Last minute wheatie saves the day!

[treasurekidd]

I got out early this morning to beat the rain, and drove a few neighborhoods over to an elementary school I hadn't made it to yet. The school was built in the 30s, and I don't think it's been hunted much. I hit the woodchip playground, and found coins on just about every sweep of the coil! Totaled 7Q, 12D, 5N, and 19 memorials in about 45 minutes, in a 30'x30' area. and there were alot of 6" and deeper hits I didn't bother to dig because I knew I was fighting time. It started raining, so on the way back to the car, I get a penny signal on the dirt path between the payground and the parking lot, decide to dig it, and up pops a 1916 wheatie from 4" deep! One thng I have learned is to always dig these last minute, walking back to the car desparation swings, as I have found a few nice coins this way, lol! Heres the pics, and HH!

Sorry for the crappy pics, my digital hasn't been the same since I dropped it a few weeks ago! Here's the wheatie. I'm gonna get back to this school as soon as I can, as it has a nice big baseball field right next to the playground, and based on this wheatie being only 4" deep, right smack dab in the middle of the path like it was, I may have some fairly unhunted ground to cover!!

Happy Hunting!

Nice find that baby looks to be in good shape for the time it was in the dirt.

I love the trip back to the truck desperation swing.

There is an unwritten rule that good finds are often to be made on the way back to the truck.

It's like being rewarded for trying so hard. I have even found a Wheatie right by my trunk as I was getting ready to put the machine away. That's the way it goes......
