I know the honey hole is about cleaned out. I am now hunting there when I have no place better to hunt or only have a short time to hunt as it is only 1/2 mile from my house. Today the very first good signal I got was a merc. I swung over the plug before moving on and darn if there wasn't another one about 6 inches away. That makes 14 silver coins from this site.

Well, that was all she wrote for the next 3.5 hours. It was cold and windy and I was not properly dressed but I toughed it out. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and gets a chance to get out hunting. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Great finds for a chilly and windy day. Between you and CT all the silver is disappearing from the ground fast in N.C.

That's been a great site buddy. Why don't you pull out your Vino doll and jam a few pins in that ugly lil piece of cloth, stuffing and gray hair. Sounds like a fun thing to do 8-)

Nice job on the Mercs!! It's great to have a go to site, you know as long as you're swinging your coil there is a chance. I have a couple properties like that! One place has been my best door knock producing 16 Silvers, and the other 5 LCs, 1778 1 Reale and the most BEAUTIFUL INDIAN I have ever seen. Congrats

Keep up the good work.

When it's practically April and the temperature is in the low 20s when I get up that's something to whine about. Factor in the wind. Not ideal hunting conditions.
