Hi all. Nate and I have been pretty busy lately (No Doug, I haven't retired). 
Nate with Track, exams, school projects, prom and such. Me with supporting two teenagers, a wife, dog, 4 old cars and a place in the 'burbs. 
Work has been busy too and I had to spend some time at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Nate and I did get in a couple hunts. Nate posted his stuff last week and he did better than me but I still got a few keepers.
The first hunt I did was at a one room school house foundation (solo about an hour).
Nate and I have hunted this place a couple times without finding anything good. We have talked with some other people who found some good coins but not us. But I thought I might try using the small 7.5” minelab coil and going slow. This proved to be the ticket as I dug out this sweet 1895 IH with two nails.
I usually don't get too excited about IH's but this is one of the nicest ones I have dug.
The next hunt I was with Nate. We went to a local park and worked the old sledding hill. There was a lot of trash but I managed to get some wheats and a 1937 Merc. So the IH satisfied my old coin itch and the merc the silver itch.
The little heart shaped necklace I don't think is gold. It says “Marlene” on it.
The Saturn Rocket sovenier was not found but made by me with one of those machines on my trip to Kennedy. The trip was cool as we got to poke around the Space Shuttle Atlantis (actually inside the vehicle) and various other places at the Space Center.
Last but not least – Nate's Senior Prom was this last Saturday:
Good luck on all your hunts.
