Top notch post! Nothing like getting the relics and not having to deal with the trash. It's like a relic hunter's wet dream.




Cheers,

Way to go Jeff, I am really glad to see you are having success down there. Maybe we can link up this weekend and hit them hard. Really nice coi and I know the frustration of hitting the coins with the shovel. I think half of all my silver bears some mark of mine.

Nice finds looks like 69 cal city

It's tough to find a site with those big bullets coming out of the ground like that, bet that was fun Congrats on the finds, love the bullets and coin.The video was great too, enjoyed it
