So welcome back to T-net everyone!!!!! 
Only did 2 hunts since T-net went down, the first was short because of the cold, and was another exploratory hunt trying to find a new home site that I located using a Watts map. Found it after about an hour hike. Took my time because of the hunters in the woods this time of year. This home site is in the same forest as the Trotting Course that I have posted about in the past. Only spent an hour there getting a feel for the trash in the area and what was in the ground. Did manage to pull this cute child's mirror, nothing too fancy but I dig it (catch that pun??). But the site looks promising so we will see. Then this Sunday I went back to the Trotting Course hoping to find that elusive gold coin I've been hoping for all year. First target dug was a 1912 wheatie right off of the road, veryyyy lime green patina. Second target dug was a haggard 1882 IH......then no more coins for the next 5 hours after that, but some really neat relics! Dug the largest crotal bell I've ever dug before, although, it is broken 
Some what I believe are saddle decorations. The one seems to be gold plated or gilt, the other is rather eaten up by the ground. And some small tag of some sort, no writing on it that I can see though, still letting it soak in oil. So that's it! Nothing too exciting but DEF exciting that T-net is back up!!! so get out there and find stuff to share with us all!!! Good luck and happy hunting!!!!!!
