The "Virgin" site that Civilman and I hit last weekend for the first
time was far and few between on finds this morning. Actually, there
was nothing. Monkeyboy joined us at sunrise for what we hoped to
be a great hunt.
We hunted for a couple of hours and got NOTHING, I mean NOTHING.
We decided to jump on the railroad tracks and head north.....NOTHING.
So we got back on the tracks and headed to a site south.....NOTHING.
We, meaning, I, was getting a bit frustrated. Here Joe and I invited
Monkeyboy out and couldn't even pull a bullet.... WAIT, Monkeyboy
got a rivet!!!![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
We decided to head back to the original site, it was on our way OUT to
the trucks.
We were picking through the nothingness and then I got a hit that was
actually positive. 58 three ringer. YES!!! Up and to the next tree base...
HIT!! This one was bouncing all over the place, but what the heck, nothing
else was hitting. 5 inches down and...... 58 three ringer!
Before I buried the hole, I got another signal solid positive, 84-90.
I started digging and hit a root. I asked Monkeyboy and Joe to come check
the hole before I tried to get through the root. They both got the same
thing I got. Monkeyboy said, "Sounds like a plate on its edge.
So, I went to digging. 20 minutes, two shovels, one lesche, and
a broken pair of pruning sheers (Sorry Monkeyboy) I was at 11 inches
deep. With the help of the pinpointer, I finally located the find..........
a US boxplate.....on edge....Kudos to Monkeyboy on the call!
LAST WEEK I got my first plate out of this same site!!!
