Was in the woods this morning before the early morning sun was above the tree tops. Quite quickly I hit a spot along a down tree that yielded 4 tokens. 3 "no value" ones and the 4th just has V B in the crown. No other writing on it and it is in good shape. I picked off 3 or 4 clad coins then got a nice 79-84 reading on the edge of a trail. That turned out to be a 1902 Barber quarter. She, not any more then me, was glad to get re-united with her other 3 sisters. A few more pieces of clad and a 49d wheatie came to light and then I ran into the 3 MERRY WIDOWS again. These 2 condom containers now make 4 different varieties that I have found on this site. One of the containers has their 3 names on it...Agnes, Mabel and Becky. The Barber quarter was under 4" of wet leaves and I had to swing the coil another 4-5" above some underbrush. It was only 3" deep, but with the brush and leaves would have easily been a 9" or so deep target. Good ole LTD air gap. I had the 11"dd coil on in bp mode, and sen 85, 0 disc., 3h tones and gb of 59-61. HH jim tn

Good hunt Jim! Lots of merry widows here lately!..lol
yes, it seems these woods had a few more things taking place then just hiking and picnicking. Just got back from the morning hunt. Not much to show, so won't. Did get a no date Buffalo nickel, some Memorials, 5 clads and another 3 Merry Widows lid. This one also has their three names on it. I have a pretty good collection now of those containers. Wow, what a beautiful day and several more in store. Come on you northern swingers, it should be about time for us to some some yankee goodies. HH jim tn
