<center>Hi Folks!
Went back to the same area on the fort early yesterday where I found the seated dime last Sunday. It was another pleasant day and perfect for detecting
Didn't have a clue what I was about to find. Starting digging a few wheats to start off the day then came across a few good dime signals but turned out to be clad. Also dug several good nickel signals but all were pulltabs
Got a little deeper in the woods next to an old oak tree and got a nice 90 signal at 3-1/2" deep. Dug the signal and out pops this nice '57 Franklin
After finding nothing else in this area, I worked my way out of the woods and spotted an interesting deserted military building down the street on the same side of the road.
The grassy area and trees next to the building looked pretty promising so I decided to detect there but not before I took a break under the shade
After drinking a Coke and a snack, started hunting the side of the building.
Folks, it wasn't five minutes later I got another 90 signal at 3" deep! ...Not again! Dug the target and out pops this '42 Walker!!
Couldn't believe finding two halves in one day!
Funny thing about it, didn't find any other silver, just the halves
Here's the wheats
Also found this cool military pendant too
I spotted this old church on the fort on my way home. Think I'm going to hunt the big grassy areas next weekend
Folks, thanks for looking at my long post and HH ......James<center/>
