Chicago Group's weekend hunt

Although the group wasn't as large as it was last month, we still got out on an absolutely beautiful day for another hunt. The sun was shining, the temperature touched 80, and a little silver was found. The bulk of our hunting took place around a now closed tobogganing structure. Many wheaties were found, (1) 1944 D war nickel was found, plenty of clad, (1) silver ring, and I found (9) dimes in one hole in the middle of a field ranging from 1999 - 2002. Of course, being a large, old, well used park, there were a million pop tops and bottle caps. There was most likely some silver hiding beneath the trash, but there weren't enough hours in the day to dig all of the signals. Bomber provided the food and beer as last time and we all had a great time. ;D

I'm sure we would found silver and gold, and maybe a t-rex if we could have only found that magic pile of wood chips!!! ;)

Nine dimes in one hole, not sure why someone only had a pocket full of dimes, but I'm glad they lost them for me.

Umm, yeah, next time, when we take our group shot, everyone needs to smile a little more, Bomber, Weebee40 and Skinny Puppy look like they're ready to kill someone.

A toboggan is a long snow sled that can carry several people down a snow covered slope in a hurry.
