I had all intentions of doing some woods digging this morning in hopes of getting a little more protection from a gusty and nasty north wind. Swinging my way across a corner of a field I got a faint hit with numbers in the low 70's, so stopped to investigate. It turned out to be a small mini ball. As fate would have it, I never made it into the woods. Hence, got pretty bad mileage bucking the wind in the wide open spaces. Just enough targets in that area of the field to keep me interested and as a result did manage 1 silver coin, a 24 Mercury and 2 wheat backs, a 25 and a 40. One other interesting piece was the folded up (when dug) "special security" piece with the name Willie B Jones on it. If I keep at this long enough, maybe I'll have a 2 silver outing one of these days. I am getting 1 silvered to death, it seems. HH jim tn
