Rains a coming and I needed a fix!
Got together with Nova Treasure this afternoon and did some digging after we got off work. We have both been trying to get out and do some swinging for awhile now and it finally managed to happen. We finished work and it started raining, I asked Bill if he still wanted to go and of course he said yes. I said follow me, off we went down the highway like two drug addicts searching for a high. I took Bill to a site that I had previously hunted, since that was all I had until I do some more research.
We got to swinging and up came some flat buttons. The finds were sparse, this site had been hunted 5 times now. We kept searching for those good signals, short while later I got one. I dug an 1872 shield nickel. I moved about three feet and dug another shield nickel, an 1869. Wow I'm thinking, 2 at one site . More flats kept popping up and then the silver came to light. A holed 1783 half reale was now staring me in the face. It looks to have been chewed by whoever wore it around their neck unfortunately, but I'll take it.
We kept hunting for an hour or so longer and had to quit. Now we have a couple of days of rain to look forward to 
.
We'll be back and thanks for looking,
Hill
