    Couple of goodies from last two hunts

    I had some time Friday morning so Kimsdad & I headed into the woods and hunted
    an area that we've had our eye on since last fall. It was on a hillside with lots of
    big 'ol trees and lately, similar looking areas like this have been fairly productive
    for me so I thought it was worth a try.

    My first solid recovery was a '45-P War Nickel at about 4-inches and after
    sweeping the hole again, there was a lonely '27 Merc waiting to be rescued.

    Other finds of note included a "Martin Varnish CO" watch fob, a small cold-creme
    jar and after-the-fact "lucky" horseshoe.

    Saturday Morning Kimsdad & I headed to the street tear-ups where we met up
    with our gracious host, Lowbatts, Skates, Mayo and Nick and his wife Patti.

    My only silver that day was a 1897 Barber Dime about three-feet in front of the
    steps of a cool victorian house and a block down the street, a few skulls and a
    lead, gas light fixture key.

    That's about it. . . thanks for looking!

    Another rare shot of the Elgin beast known as Coilfoot. Love that FOB!

    So why did all of my silvers and Mayo's silver from there look like clad and you and Skates got the ones that were shiny?

    Not fair.
