705 gets big silver

Went to a nearby Elementary school today with akarobo99 for an afternoon hunt. We hunted for a couple of hours and found a little clad. We have hunted this school several times in the past and have it pretty much cleaned out. Roy found a wheatie and I found a 1956 Nickel and it started to rain. We headed for cover and discussed leaving. Roy said he had some stuff to do around the house so he headed out. I found a bag of peanuts in my car so I got in and waited out the shower. It was short lived and I was back hunting but had my detector covered just in case. I decided to go across the street from the school to a lot that we have hunted before. There is a concrete slab there that I had worked one side and the back of on a previous hunt. I started on the other side and got into quite a bit of clad and hunted all around the area in front of the slab toward the street. I found the Mudd watch and was disappointed that it was junk. I got a 44/46 TID on the X-terra and dug down about 4 inches and got out the propointer. The signal was still a little deeper so I dug down about another inch and out popped this beauty.




It was my big silver with the 705 and I was stoked. I stayed as long as my hungry stomach would let me and headed for the house. Here is the finds for the day.
