Back to the Training Pits, finally; and worth it.

[renegade_7]

What an odd temperature for Jan. 1st in Missouri. It was 60 degrees so I couldn't help myself. Went back to two other training pits before I go back to work tomorrow. The take wasn't as good as the last pit ($47.00), but was worth my while. Three hours netted $36.30 plus these trinkets. Another Challenge coin, this one from the 3rd Bn. 10th Infantry Regiment, two pocket medallions, I guess, with what appears to be angels, the larger one about the size of two quarters with a diamond in it, I doubt if it is real and the metal appears to be some sort of silver color plating, not real silver I don't guess. The smaller about the size of a quarter. If anyone knows what they are, please tell. And finally a silver .925 St. Christopher metal. Not a bad three hour hunt.

TimmyNY Training pits are where the troops practiced Hand to Hand Combat, Pugal Training, and Physical Training. Always loosing things there. Great place to search. Again, I only searched for coins above 80 VDI and those signals in the gold range, that's how numerous the finds are. I'd still like to get back and get the rest.
