Haven't posted for a while, so thought I would post todays hunt.
Chris and I checked out a new spot this morning that as close as we can tell probably has seen some traffic since the 50's. At some point in time dirt has been moved around, but none the less, shows promise. My buddy actually made the find of the day with a wide and hefty ladies gold wedding band. Probably 8-9 grams of 14k. He was also the wheat king today. I didn't get one.
My 1st good target was a 44d war nickel. Camera was still in my ditty bag on that one. Swung by the car and got the camera and swished my way out toward one end of the field. About 2/3rds of the way along nailed the 925 marked locked. Maybe 20 minutes later snagged a 42d Washington quarter. Along the way got a small feeling 66 reading with no Feo bars showing so dug it. It was a pin with a Eagle on the front with the # 10. Perhaps a 10 year service pin. As we were calling it a wrap and just a few yards from my vehicle I got a nice 76 reading and popped a 43 Mercury dime. Plenty of clad and cents to keep one busy. Swing good everyone. HH jim tn
