There is a row of very old large oaks in one of our parks, the ground is dry and rock hard.... most of the year. But we have had some heavy rain and the ground around the trees.......which attract every one and everything will be; moist enough to hunt . Good news .....there should be lots of good targets ......... but foil , pulltabs and rusted iron abounds. Bad news.......... pulltabs, rusted iron and foil abound around the good targets, I hope are there. Hoping for the odd old coin or maybe ....ring? I'll be taking my trusty Cortes...7 inch coil and abound 6 hours of hunt time into the battle..........hope I can find some keepers!! I'll post either " the blues" or any good finds I might get.
