ZDD and me on the relic trail. First stop was at at a hard hit spot, I squeezed a GEO III, and a nice "snowflake" tombac, which is thicker than most. Leaving there we talked to a couple of hikers who were very interested in our machines and our megar finds, and invited us to their old school house converted home. Dave found a Canada LG cent there in decent shape and gave it to them, boy you'd have thought it worth a fortune, they were pretty happy with it.

Moved on to another location, where I got a couple crotals, the smallest size "0" and a bigger one, the broken piece has a "W". Last but not least I got a silver six pence 1816.

This was my first real land dig of the year, and it looks like the spring season will be a short one.

I though this was going to be a silver when I first saw it, as more than one spanish came for this spot, but I like this anyway, I know I haven't found more than one before, and this one is twice as thik as any other (tombac) I've got / seen.

Nice Rick!

Great to see you were able to score on your first shift out if the bench!

Even those hard hit spots hold some goodies!

Good to see you out on the relic trail Rick! I like those engraved "snowflake" tombacs. Congrats on the 1816 silver!
