Great finds Mike.... love those fatties. They clean up a whole lot better than the other IHs most of the time. Try a little mineral oil on the IHs it will return most of the natural color and doesnt hurt the coin. It will take the dry red brittal look out of it. I sure dont miss that Northern weather you guys are having. Ill take my shorts and tees any day. congrats on the finds.

Money that is, To go along on some of those hunts come this Spring!!!!
Man we are having to travel over 500 miles round trip just to find a couple Silver around here any more !
All of are Old spots have been Picked CLEAN !!!!
There are almost NO trash signals left to hide stuff in any more !
Oh well we only have are self's to blame , But if we would not have dug up all those coins in the past some one else would have,
And I know we did show a lot of people from ALL OVER THE PLACE where to and HOW to hunt here around St.Louis.
It has been a blast and all there is left to do is like you said WINTER RESEARCH it is are only hope!
