Had a storm blow through yesterday and lots of flooding in the area. I got home early from work and had an itch to get out after the rain stopped. It cooled off outside and my husband and I headed to a new location for a quick hour hunt. Well, an hour turned into 3 hours. This schoolyard had so many signals it was crazy. I ended up finding just $2.43 in clad mostly dimes and pennies, and a cheap plastic key chain whose chain had begun to rust and was broken. My husband hit the jackpot with mostly quarters and brought home $6.14. He also got a 1946 wheat penny, what we believe to be a shoe buckle, and some other advertisement trinket for a law firm that's no longer in existence in another state. So we had a good time getting out despite not finding much. We skipped over a ton of penny signals so we will definately be going back. Didnt get any pics of his clad. He'd already put it it in his jar.Thanks for reading and HH!

Good for you,, signals always seem to be amplified after a good saturation.
Congrats

Congrats on your & your husband's clad & trinkets finds - go back and clean the place out & don't let your husband find twice as much as you. Anyway thanks for positing and wish you two many more great finds while out dirt fishin.

Thanks, Texas. I'd like to think he just got lucky! ;)
 

Thanks, Trap. Yes, ATW, heading out again today. The ground is still saturated.
 

Nice clad gathering you two had with a surprise wheat Congrats!

Wet ground is a whole new field of dreams. There's probably some bling there somewhere!

I am hoping, Msbeepbeep! That place was so junked up I had to filter out a bunch of it. I literally stopped pulling pennies bc there were so many. We are anxious to find time to go back soon. A ton of foil, too. Wore me out!
 

I hear ya, i have a similar field, but thats where a 14 K grad ring turned up!

Its out there somewhere!
