Very nice... Franklin, Tootsie and lead machine gunner. Very well done my man.

Those Franklins are hard to come by around here. Impressive.

You know you've really made it once you find your first headless machine-gunner. :icon_thumleft:

If you want to find silver at least in these parts you have to ask permission and get on hopefully undetected yatds. That half was 3 inches deep. So I don't think anyone ever detected there before.

Yes sir quite a bit if you go to finds in the Montana section I've posted quite a few hunts from the shoreline. Flathead drops 11ft in the winter to where it was before the dam was built in Polson. The best part is we can hunt there almost all winter long.
