I got out this morning for a couple of hours with my buddy Steve, {Ashdigger} we had some good finds. I dug a few drops and a nice Eagle button, also a nice flat button and a 53 nickel. A gold plated watch? clasp and a part of the business end of a old spoon. A couple of scrapers and some rivets and shot lead pieces. My buddy dug a few nice drops as well. Hope you all have a great week. Tim

I was told it is a Dimmick variant, most be sorta rare, it's the first one I have dug and I have dug over 3000 bullets since about 2004.

Very nice Congrats!!!
I'm glad I had the opportunity to find at least one of those three ringers. I don't think pictures ever really do them justice... Those things are huge...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
