I called My hunting buddy GOIO today & asked if he might want to go for a short hunt.....We agreed on a place,and talked about the possibility of finding our frst silver of the year...
...................................We stayed kind of close our first 2 hours,and kept shaking our heads N O at each other signaling we had not yet found a coin................................After a while GOIO said he found a Presidential Token.............Cool...........at least we won't get skunked.......................................... ....
...............Just about an hour before dark..........I got a penny signal at about 4-6",and after digging about 4"......I rescanned the hole..........The target was now out of the hole.............................I scanned the dirt,and got a glimpse of the shiney..................................I do not know how to get the pics to post properly,,,,,,so I will give you my PhotoBucket shots.......
