After work I decided to go detecting before sunset, and after seeing my first location was "occupied" I stopped at a church on the way home. I dug a ton of nails, then I got a beautiful signal...strong and consistent. Thinking it was likely a modern coin, I popped a two inch plug and there she was...staring at me! I'm thrilled!

Great digs man !
