Started yesterday at 8 a.m. at our Boyce spot and realized pretty quick that this place is starting to get hunted out. Worked over on the other side of the property and a buddy was already there and he had just found a weird three ringer, long and about a 52 cal., with a gardener looking base? Then he showed me an amazing 1831 HALF DIME! Wow i couldn't believe it, gave him a big congrats then headed off. So after seeing that it really put a flame under me to find a silver too, still trying to get my first with the AT PRO. 4 hours later, no silver and a lot of trash, ready to leave still swinging as i go i hit a solid 75 on the AT PRO and dug my 5th Indian for the year/total. Also found 2 two piece buttons, no markings on them so i have no idea what or how old they are. Thanks for looking and HH!

An Indian for 5 hrs + a button or 2 - not too bad - I'm dealing with 29 degrees, high winds (25 to 35 mph) and snow, so I can't even hunt rgt now!

An Indian Head always makes my day. Congrats! It is painfully obvious this site is not producing like it once did. Well, 9 months man. It was certainly a good run while it lasted. Time to start scouting out for a new site! Hopefully the next will be a virgin site like this one has been.

Sounds like one of my meanderings around the mansion. ;) Last time out I think I only got 1 penny too. About 5 hours work.

Kind of makes it alright when that "penny" is the right kind, ain't it. :)

Nice save!

HH!
