Hunting before the heat sets in this morning with Lowbatts. Hunting was slow with only a couple of wheat's and a war nickle. Hey Neil, I've now notched the silver down from a Rosie. We went for a cold soda and came back to hunt for short time. On the surface was a 1889 I.H. heads up, found some Wheaties there on the surface in the past. When they pulled stumps coins came right up with the roots. Tim pocketed a couple of goodies, in all it was slow for goodies.
1943p nickel,1937d wheat, plain copper button??

And you are still finding silver!! :o

I think you rubbed Mark's golden horseshoe! ;D

Nice finds for sure!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

IH's on the surface, silver nickels, wow! What a cool spot!

That little bow button is a neat find, maybe even better than all the coins put together!

I am always in awe of the Illi crew ...

Next the righteous coinage will be literally popping out of the ground and into your pouch ...

Congratulations ~ Al
