Went for an early morning hunt,to beat the heat. I started in an old part of a park. Yesterday I had found three wheats and a merc. After an hour or two of digging trash and a 59 memorial I decided to move a few hundred yards. About twenty minutes later I got a semi jumpy nickel signal. I dug out the plug and dug a little more...then there it was. There was no mistaking it,yep,gold!!! I was overwhelmed with joy. What a feeling! You gotta love a hobby that pays for itself in gold and silver. Now I just need to find a cache of gold coins$ Keep digging those pesky pull tabs you'll get that gold.

Well done ! So I take it, that it was a bit deeper. Wonder how long it had been there... Well done for sticking it out against the pull tabs.
