Woke up this morning with no plans of getting out due to weather reports last night saying it was going to rain. Looked outside and it wasn't raining. :hello2: Checked the _adar :wink: and it was showing an small opportunity to get in a quick hunt. Checked with the ladies and they were going shoe shopping so L4S and I scooped up Treasurefiend and headed out. Not sure where we were headed I suggested a spot L4S and I researched this winter and we had our spot. I was surprised by how old first place was. I was thinking 30's and 40's but as you will see, it was much, much older. Anyway, we got a few hours in, got wet, got muddy, and got silver. Worth every penny. And dime. :thumbsup:
