Mississippi river woods hunt!:fisher:

[jim tn]

Went off this morning to another stretch of woods that also has a lot of history and pretty promptly dug what I think is a Eagle Breast Plate. You true relic hunters, please enlighten me. As is frequently the case when woods hunting, not a lot of targets for 5 1/2 hours of hunting, but enough to keep it interesting. The only older coin out of the few I dug was a 35 wheat cent. And, along the way a few nice pieces of lead came to light. Will probably give the other woods I've been hunting a rest and finish out the winter woods season in this piece of woods. There is plenty of them to hunt. Was using the F 75 LTD with 11" coil and running in boost mode. HH jim tn
