Hi y'all. I managed a 90 minute quicker between work and more work tonight. Place right by my house that's really thin from tons of hunts. I swung over a spot I must have swung over several times before without hearing this. It was a perfect silver signal and I could not believe it, because I know the number of times I've swung in that very spot. Must be a) the ground is moist and b) I was using my 15x12 coil, perhaps I only hit the spot before with the pro coil. It was so perfect that I was waiting for it to be junk. In stead it is a really sharp, full and strong liberty Barber Dime 1897:
