Yes, a picture of your find on top of the plug always makes for a more interesting story. Nice finds anyhow !

Think pit not plug, we dug 34 reales out of one giant 4 foot wide hole about 3 foot deep. We dug in that hole for 4 straight hours. It all started with 3 faint signals, just barely enough to disturb the coil balance no idea what the target id was. We removed about a foot of sand so we could get a coil down closer to the targets and heard the silver screaming

I gotta know, was this a totally unexpected find , or were you searching for some sort of legendary cache or hoard ???
Saying that you were digging in 'sand' makes me think you were near a lake shore ????
Too far north for pirate booty I'd say..
Whatever the case, I'll bet you were thinking it was still over way too fast !!
