First fob, no fib...

[litefire56]

I got out for a bit after 6 tonight,,, Went to what was another old home site
turned park close to home. Scored a Merc a couple days ago at what was
the house next to this one. My first signal was the fob, so I called Brett
and told him to get over here before I dig all the silver! If he was anybody
but my son, I may have regretted making that call. As it turned out I got
to see him recover some big silver. Time to start pounding this place!

Whoa, that watch fob is the cat's MEOW! Great detail in that baby, congrats on a very interesting new relic!! That "big silver" was an easy target... nobody put their coil over it until tonight... so you're right, we need to pound that place like all of the others we've pounded - until it's dead.

Great fob, John!!!

I'll take that with the same excitement a silver would bring!

Reminds me of a toy steam shovel I had as a kid.

Hey John, is that tag from East Aurora High? Gym locker maybe? Any numbers?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but forgot to research anything on it. Thanks for reminding me Tim ... What I came up with sure fits the time frame of this location.
