    Hey Ray, the Silver Half came from the town green...........

    Where the old hag was giving us some crap about us potting.I remember the Gaffer romancing her until he had enough or couldn't get a date and then we moved on.We then moved to the small green where you dug the 2 Center and a couple of silvers. All in all it was a fun day and one that I remember...

    Finds from a few hunts.

    I have been trying to get out at least once a week before the ground freezes.Went to a few spots that we have already done a few times and something turns up but you have to spend some time hitting it.I took my XLT with the 15" coil to a home site that is a small field now to try it out.To my...

    Dug some "Caps" Sunday Night.

    Hit the old farm field one more time Sunday Night.Dug a bunch of modern bullets as the field also gets hunting action.After about 2 1/2 hrs of scratching around I got that sweet silver sound and out popped a nice 1809 Capped Bust Dime.A real beauty that has been lucky the plow hasn't tore her...
