Had a little rain over night and in the forecast for the weekend, but upon checking the hourly forecast it looked like I had a 3 hour hunting window so since my wife had some errands to run, I headed out for the woods. I had the F 75 LTD and put on the 6 1/2" coil since I was going to re-hunt some area's close to where I park thinking I could poke it under and around bushes better then the larger coil. One of the first targets I dug was the Leon Laraine eye shadow case with brush and mascara still inside. Under one bush I got 2 wheat cents and from another, a wheatie and the 37 Merc. The latter 2 targets were a couple of feet apart, though. Along the way I got a couple of zincers, part of a Cadillac ornament, another wheat cent and the SAVE YOUR DIMES, The sure toad to your first $1000, lock. I didn't know what it was at the time, but there was no big target (metal box) nearby. Merry Christmas! HH jim tn

Had a big white dog come bounding towards me this morning and I'm not sure who got startled more, me or it. He/she apparently didn't see me until just a few yards away and it came to a screeching slide and the leaves just flew. It gave me one woof and took off looking for its master, I guess. Ya, mud, I dig a few of those 22 cases. They bounce around the $1. and $2 1/2 gold coin range. LOL Thanks guys. HH jim tn
