Howdy all and welcome to any new people who have found

[Mike Chgo area]

the forum since I was last on here. Finally got some detecting in. A friend of mine loaded us up in his scout and after a few slow mile we ended up at a mining camp which was active in the teens and twenties. Lot of trash but I was able to pick out a 1919 P Merc in nice condition along with a Buffalo Nickel 1920 P full date. Next day we hit a spot where 4 small house trailers were setting in the fifties. I got a 1951P Roosie in good shape there. Thought it strange that no pennies were found. Next fall when I get back out here we will hit the mining camp again and a few other spots my friend knows of. It was great to get out again. Been raining here yesterday and today so the ground is good and damp so I can hit a couple of places in town here. Has been too dry until the rain came. Hope all are well and warm if you are in the cold country.
