Re-visited a place I have been going for about 13 yrs. as I always check back at old spots to see what might turn up.
I talked to the owner and to my surprise he said someone or ones's had visited it late last year but, only once.
Well, sure enough someone had but, they did not dig much from what I could tell but, what they did dig they left laying by an old tree (trash). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Well that is disappointing as that is just bad for the hobby. At least he knows it was not me.
Well, I picked it up and started my hunt with not much serious hopes as I have pounded this place over and over and over again.
I was able to snag 2 more Injuns an 84 and another 89. This is why I will return year after year or every other as I can usually snag at least a keeper. When I am not in the mood to drive to probably more productive spots this works out great.
The 89 was not as deep maybe 7" and I posted up a screen shot below of the hit midway but, that is a generalized hit as it did bounce more left then right and down and back and forth.

Then I moved to a different area and was able to snag a deep 84 Injun and sadly I did not get a screen shot but, it started top mid left and went far right mid then back and forth. A much different screen bounce but, same tone as the other.
This was deep as my probe was actually below the ground surface level. Pictured below.

So overall not a bad day. I also got a wheat, old copper spoon, what appears to be a rifle trigger guard and some kind of bent buckle? I also got a enameled inlay old broach/pin as seen below.

Hope everyone had a good day.
Well, we are off and running into March and I hope everyone has a fantastic month of finds.
