HONEY HOLE GETS IT'S FIRST GRID
Over the past four hunts I have visited a spot that has produced 10 silver coins. My general approach to a new site is to swing the coil until I find a spot that produces a little more than the adjacent areas. Yesterday I decided on a spot that has been the most productive during the first 3 hunts. I started to work an approximate area that is equal to a 100 x 100 foot section. Working it from north to south and then east to west, the grid application paid off. I managed to squeeze out 2 more Mercury Dimes and a 925 silver signet ring. The initials on the ring are VK. I'll give this grid another shot on the next hunt but there is still a spot across from another school that is calling my name. Honey Holes are far and few in between but when I do find one, I usually hunt it to death.
The Buffalo Nickel looks like a 1927, but is too toasted to really make out a definite date. The ring in the picture with the Buffalo is just a Gaudy piece of costume jewelry. (What Costume would you wear with that??). The penny is a 1944 wheat.
