Well with a big SNOW storm approaching >:(, I figured I better get out and try to hunt a little while today. Apparently so did a lot of members of our club :icon_sunny: which is great, because it is not a very friendly park. First signal out of my truck was a 1935 lincoln on top of the ground. I picked it up and scanned where it had lain, I got an 8 inch deep reading and proceeded to dig my plug. At around 8 inches I got a 1923 cent, and using my Sun-Ray probe I located a 1919 cent on the side of the hole and a 1937 cent appeared in the hole, I rescanned my digs and there were none left. I was hunting towards the edge of the woods, when I saw a patch of grass that had been torn up by a skunk, digging for grubs. I always check critter excavations :thumbsup:. I saw on top of the little dirt piles what I thought was an unearthed pulltab. When I bent over to pick it up, it was a pretty .925 ring with the front part hinged :thumbsup:. After that, all I found were 4 clad quarters, 5 clad dimes, 2 brass modern cigarette lighters, and Many messed up Zincolns. The people in the pics are members from our club who had the same Idea..........NGE (nowgettinsumthin')
