Yaay for me! We finally got an inch of rain up here in north central Nebraska!
😃
Th drought had made the soil rock hard and plugs stuck out like measles. Now I can go dirt fishing!!!! Hopefully the rains keep coming.
After my 4.5 mile gumbo road to the main gravel county road dried up enough, I headed for a closed 1923 high school. Last time I was there, I asked an old timer who went to school there, if it had ever been filled, as all I was finding was memorials and clad. He said it hadn't, but now I doubt his memory.
Again, the clad coins and memorials were prolific, and all at about the 3.5 to 4" depth. I did hit a 53 wheatie at 6" and was so happy to see this 41 shiny in the hole at 8"!!
😮

The downfall was the over 1 month hiatus because of the drought. I sure am paying for it in the thighs and back today.

Got the tail end of that storm today and it helped us a lot. Congrats on swinging again.

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Job well done !
 

Nice hunt, I was at a site very similar to yours today, old school-late 30’s. I’m in Pennsylvania, our soil is like concrete right now bc of the drought. I actually broke a steel serrated digger while digging a plug today.
