Figured to check it out...thought that ages of people have come over for camping and drinking. After 2 hours of bullets and camp junk I happened upon a mild but solid/steady hit. 92,92,92,92...

Up pops a 1941 half! I check the hole again and get a weak signal at 91, 89, 91. Did about a foot away and boom 1940 quarter! Check the area again and get a reallly weak signal. Poke around and boom - 1910 dime! Then my Garrett pointer ran out of batteries.




I left but want to return with fresh batteries...a few weak signals remained but couldn't narrow them down with the detector.

Yes, it is a paradise island. Especially after the wife said there couldn't be anything out there!

Nice finds! It goes to show you that you never know what you'll find if you're willing to go swingin. The v nickel is still one of my favorite designs minted also!

MAN!!! Gotta love those walkers, I found five in a cash register at work once and still to this day they're one of my best finds ever! Nice find and hope you get a chance soon to find the rest of it!
