Hit a grove today with DP Bob, Litefire56, Brett, Olderactor, Etrac007, Gibbsium, and Skinny Puppy. Lots of nice finds came out of that place today - more than I would have believed possible, and some guys might not post theirs here. It was real nice to see all the good finds coming up. My take was two Rosies, a Merc, seven wheats and a Disney coin.

Those dimes look great! Nice and frosty! WTG ! We'll have to set up another hunt there after a good rain. Great idea about Brett doing the grilling! Can we handcuff him to a Weber? :laughing7:

Great finds Neil! 3 silver and 7 wheaties is a mighty fine day! I think that squished penny is cool too. I like to find out where they came from, and you can too!

Thanks again for having us out for a hunt! Too bad LowBatts and Twistidd never made it out, or we could have possibly overtaken some of those picnic parties and reclaimed our hotspots.

If the number of people that were out and about there today is any indication of years past, then no wondering why we found so much loot. Great spot :)

Hey guys, nice finds! If this is the hunt Neil invited me to, then, sorry I didn't make it out, but I woke up just before noon (long night) and ended up hunting very locally for a short while, to find diddly squat. Oh well! Nice dimes!
