Thought I would post what I got on that last "group" hunt in the Chicago area.
Not photographed was the authentic voodoo/gypsy/Santeria paraphernalia that I walked up to.
Laying on the ground was a cloth mat about the size of a dinner place mat.
On top of this was two candles which had been lit, a cigar which had been partially smoked, some chicken or other kind of bird feathers, and a coarse white substance which I'm guessing was salt.
Also not pictured is the 1940's pepsi bottle I found on the surface - my second one this year.
Throughout most of the hunt while west of the train tracks, a deer was within about 30 feet of me.
Occasionally he would look up at me and then continue grazing - which was strange because I couldn't see anything on the ground that could be grazed on. This was after about a dozen deer slowly jogged by - I think Lowbatts spooked them and they made for higher ground.
I only got one silver dime - a Mercury, a few wheats that were so pitted the dates were barely readable, the rest is labeled on the large photo.
It was a fun hunt and it was good seeing the few of you that I saw... I'll have to remember to show up an hour early next time a group hunt is arranged!
and thanks to the gentleman who gave me the extra spoon for my place setting - now I just need the butter knife and steak knife!
