So while at Jackie's (she's the nice lady who brought me out a beer while I was hunting) mid 1700's home I get a high signal and after we had recovered so much good treasure from the back I couldn't wait see see what this one would be. The depth indicated 4" so this should be easy - right? Wrong of course - as I cut the plug with my Lesche I discovered a root the diameter of a half dollar running perfectly thru the center of the hole with my target directly underneath. However with "Seated" visions in my head I was not to be deterred. I dug around the side until I could see the silver reeded edge that could only be a dime. And a lowly Rosie at that!

At this point I decided to give the guys good laugh by showing them my reward in the hole. However Carolina Tom took the wind out of my sails - when I got to them they were looking at a chunk of concrete that he was holding and saying "There's a coin in there" - turns out he had a vision of a Flying Eagle Cent in his slick head. He began slamming his chunk against larger pieces of concrete leaving me to think "who the heck scans solid concrete in the first place?" He was finally successful and was rewarded with a not so shiny Lincoln Memorial.

Later that day Tom had "to go." So George took him around to "the little shack out back"

This seemed too much for Tom to comprehend given the fact that he does come from the poor side of town back home. So he just showed George the way we do it on Tobacco Road!
