I got out today after work. Decided last minute to hit a spot I've been eyeballing.

First target was an 1871 IHC. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1460072765.054557.jpg

For those in the know, that's a Key date IHC.

A few minutes and a couple buckles later I get a 12/34 on the CTX and out pops a copperImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1460072819.912941.jpg

That's the lowest reading KG I've ever dug. Typically they're between 12/38-12/41.

A couple silver coins later I was outta of there to continue my day as Papa. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1460072911.657264.jpgImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1460073494.931158.jpg

Can't get a date off the KG but it's all fine with me. I was just planning on going straight home this afternoon so this is just gravy;)

Good digging

Steve

Well done as usual my man. Just the thought of you spending silver Rosies at the WaWa makes me smile.

Have a nice weekend, and good luck to the Bramble Bums!
