I have not been able to get out in a long time. Sunday I was able to sneak out to an old school spot that I have dug on before. I was not happy to see that the old ball field had not been cut this year but it allowed me to focus more on the areas closer to the old school. It was a nice evening of digging out a few keepers. I had a couple of guys stop and talk about detecting with me and said they have not had much luck finding any silver on their spots. They had just left when I got a perfect 12-47 signal showing deep on the Etrac. I dug a nice deep hole and quickly saw a silver rim peeking out of a coin ball. I cracked it open to reveal a nice SLQ with a date. It has been a while since I've dug an SLQ and was a nice surprise. This hunt helped me scratch my itch but now all I can think about is getting back out. HH-David

As usual you did great Dave! Real nice SQL--it's always a treat when one of those comes out of the ground!

Wait, you dug that whole pile in one day at your school spot?!? You really undersold this post. That would be a highlight day for me!

Yeah was a good hunt for sure. Made up for a ton of times I've been skunked this year.

Nice SLQ! The early dates had the high relief, the later dates were redesigned not to wear as easily.

Thanks! Yeah I don't find a lot with the dates and if I do it's the later ones.
