First hunt of the year

[Larry (IL)]

turned out to be a pretty good one. It was in the low 40's with a cold wind blowing so I didn't last too long but did manage to do a fast sweep of the ground and found a silver quarter and some old cars and clad. This place looked too good to yield only one quarter so I bumped up the RX and slowed the recovery down to 85 and worked a prime looking patch of weeds which gave up another two silver quarters and two silver dimes at the 6 inch range. I will go back tomorrow if I can and work the yard a little slower yet to see what is below the 6 inch range. Nancy got the lead on this old property that goes back to the late 1800's at least. She is not well enough to hunt yet, but she did come along and sit in the truck and watched and let the dogs run a couple of times. The oldest coin was a 1916 Buffalo so I think this place will be worth going over a few more times. I will call the last picture THE END(s)

Good to see you got out and put digging time in. Nancy sure seems like a trooper and hope to see her diggin' soon too. (Silver......YES!!!)

Thanks Mike, take care of yourself and don't push it too hard. Rob should be back online tomorrow, his modem went kaputz and has a new one on the way, he is aways a threat to whup my butt......... not a serious threat............. just a threat.........

 

[Larry (IL)]

Nope, it would be nice to teach our Boxers to sniff out the silver for me though, maybe I should try a Bloodhound...
