Got my chores all done after Church, per the boss, you guys know, stuff like vacuuming, dusting, dumping waste baskets, and the like, so had a couple hour window before youngest son and his two hounds get here from Nashville late this afternoon and headed off to and old high school. Was finding some fairly recent drops, a few deeper dimes and 2 deeper wheat cents when I got one of those faint hits with the depth meter showing 8" with readings up to the mid 80's. Found the 43 Mercury in a clod of mud and it had to be all of 7" deep. Man, I love those faint whimpers of the A T. Have a joy full holiday everyone. HH jim tn
