    4hr hunt at a new site with Watercolor.

    Well as it says in the title we met up and went to a site that I have never been before, I saw it last year but never got around to hunting it till today. It was cold in the morning but it started to warm up after awhile. It felt good to get out and hunt cause we all know the season is drawing to a close, I wound up digging:

    12+ shotgunshells
    6+ pistol cartridges
    6 pistol slugs
    lots & lots of junk
    2 wheat's
    2 nickels
    1 silver dime
    and like 0.75c in clad

    I just need 2 more silvers to reach my goal of 50 for the year.

    It was a good day to get out. . . even if the silver wasn't "old" Glad you got one

    (I was happy that '01 greenie I found cleaned well and still stayed green )

    The shotgun brass are always a bittersweet find for me...
    on the one hand, it's cool finding something old but on the other hand, well you know.

    Congrats on the goodies!

    That shotgun shell brass is always frustrating since it at first looks like a coin from the bottom. WTG on the Rosie and I hope you make your goal today!

    it's always great to get out and hunt, but when you get to hunt with Mark it just makes it that much better
    congrats on the Rosie
