Well, after silver finds two days in a row, with only one merc yesterday, it was a tougher hunt today. I found a lot of bullets and shotgun headstamps, most fairly deep before digging a two coin coin spill, the no date buff and a 1917 wheatie. The buff was a welcomed sight for sure. also dug the mandatory pile of pull tabs/rings and foil with several iron rings or washers. My hat actually go sweaty today, it was 26 this morning LOL.

Buffs are always fun to dig...even tho u think you're digging ANOTHER pull tab! The signal is a little sharper and doesn't jump as much. Congrats on another successful day, dragging home a few keepers...Frosties all around! Ddf

I love an old Buffalo nickel every time. I know I can't "pay" for my sins but, with every beer can and pull tab I dig I feel like I am.:occasion14::laughing7: Nice little hunt.
