duh...duh... DFX
My son Spencer was asked to catch this morning for a pitching clinic at an indoor baseball facility where he works out 2X/week. So, while he got all deer-eyed (he's 12, catching 14-15 yr olds) I met with the others in our band of merrymen and hunted a bit in an athletic field where some great finds have turned up this past year. The other three had been there almost an hour by the time I arrived with my dog Growly, so they were already wet and cold. Most of the plugs I dug filled with ice cold water before you could retrieve the target. I wussied out after only 40 min, but ended up with a couple wheats, two clad qwatters in one hole, and at about 8" I dug a small eagle button...looks like Navy, clutching the anchor with cannonballs. Dunno the age, but it appears quite old.
Here's the 4 of us chattering away (I must admit that Dave (Zoso) never complained)

Here's a wheatie still encased in muck and then freed!
