It has been very very hot and humid in NC. I headed out about 7:00AM both weekend days, and was forced home by lunch time.

It is too dry to dig in most places, however, I was able to locate a couple of places where the holes will not cause an eye sore. The finds were meager, the highlight for me was a '43 quarter, I was glad to get George out of that hot dirt! The coin was co-located with a piece of trash (About 2" apart, 4" down), the Deus was able to give two tones, which alerted me to the shiny rascal.

I also dug an aluminum disc, that appears someone "practiced" on with some punches. It says "Williams" on it. Maybe a home made ID tag. If you can make something out it, let me know.

EDIT: P@tch ID'd this as a WW1 dog tag!

Be careful on your hunts, it's hot, drink lots of water, and thanks for looking!

Nice digs Tom. This heat reminds me of last summer when you and Smittyman were up. I've been sidelined with no detector lately (repairs), but when I see the 99-101 temps outside, I don't mind...

Got a deus too. I have a few questions about - ttyl bro

A belated congrats Tom for the silver Q. Shoot, the last silver I dug was on 7/2 and my last keeper was on the 4th. We have some rain in the forecast. :thumbsup:
I will be jumping for joy tomorrow singing Gene Kelly's big hit "Swinging in the Rain" :occasion14:
