Went out today and detected one of the honey holes. This place just keeps on giving! The bugs were really bad today and the heat and humidity were really really bad. I was sweating buckets! First signal was a square nail at 10 inches, second was a wheaty, and then another wheaty. Then I got a really good signal and after fighting with some big roots out pops a 1905 IHP! I figured one more good signal and I would head home. I got a really weird signal first getting a 20 on the Nox then spiking to 38, got the signal in only one direction. Figured I should dig it. Out pops a Merc and a wheaty! My silver slump is gone!

Congrats on some nice coins! Those cents are in great condition for being underground so long. The merc looks really nice too!

Nice finds. A merc and an Indian in one hunt makes it a good hunt.

Man it seems like forever since I had a silver or a IHP. And I got both in one hunt!
