Yesterday I met up with HawkJim at the place I was at last Sunday, this place is tough. I didn't do any good at that place with only finding a wheat and a silver ring but Jim did pretty good. He found 2 silver dimes and 2 or 3 IH's and some wheat's. I had a feeling that Jim would do pretty good there since he has a etrac. That place has way too much river rock mixed in with the soil for the xterra to work good there. After a few hours there we took a break and then went down the road a few miles to the next town and worked the old school there.
It didn't take us long to figure out that this place has been worked hard in the past even tho I found a Buff 1917 in the first half hour we was there. After a hour or so Jim had to get going and I stayed for another good 3 hours and managed to find a few more keepers, a 48d rosie, another Buff 1919 and 6 wheat's. I was working my way back to the car when I got the cool 4H ring and that made my day.
thanks for lookin.
