Ugh- 6 to 8 inches of snow in forcast for tonight/tomorrow, might as well post my Oct totals :)

Having an early NorEaster here in upstate NY, local weather channel says 6-8 inches of snow possible by tomorrow with high temp of 35 tomorrow, looks like my October hunting will be done, so I thought I would post my totals:

Quarters: 11 - 1 silver 1942-D
Dimes: 26 - 3 silver 1923, 1951-D and 1957
Nickels: 1
Cents: 83 - 1 indian 1897 and 9 wheats -oldest 1916

Foreign: 4 Canadian cents- oldest 1948, 2 Canadian Quarters- (silver) 1952 & 1955

After having my best silver day ever at start of the month with the 5 coins in one night at the old campground I managed to get back there a few more times, but only significant finds were 1 more silver- 1923 Mercury dime and an 1897 Indian along with a few more wheat cents. Will post some pictures of them and some other novelty finds later. HH and stay warm!

    Don't put away your detector yet. The weather forecast calls for some sunny warmer days over the next week. Friday...sunny and 58 image

    Well weather man was wrong- we got closer to 10 inches last night! Does this look like Holloween?

    More like Christmas too me, except some of the trees still have their leaves. Back to metal detecting finds, you could say I had a little luck when I went out Monday and found these five in the same hole:

    Good luck tokens! I think or was told they were probably good for a beer at the local KofC years ago, looks like some drunk didn't get his free beers that night! Coincidentally my horoscope for today says lady luck is on my side- maybe I should play the lotto tonight with these in my pocket! HH

    This was somewhat of a surprise storm...they didn't expect more then a dusting for most places and some ended up with 14 inches! We didn't get any here where I am in the Hudson Valley...
