Got out early today by myself back to a spot where I had done well in towards the end of last year. I didn't post the finds from the last trip to this spot but in the pouch at the end of that hunt was a seated dime, barber quarter, and a couple of IH. Well, like TF likes to say. I did it again.

Not happy with the way L4S and I combed the area last time, I went back to the same spot and worked a grid pattern like nobody's business. Not 1 inch of ground wasn't swung over in about a 25' square area. Funny thing is, I didn't get a single coin. Maybe we worked that area better than I thought. So I decided to move the perimeter out about 15' in all directions and that's when I started hitting targets. I'll let the picture(s) speak for themselves. :thumbsup:

Great technique for thoroughly hitting a spot -
when in doubt... spread out! Or fan out. Or extend out. Well you got it anyways!
Anything interesting on the other side of that token?
