Short hunt at the old hotel

[smallfoot]

Didn't get to go until about 6pm, but had fun! Hunted til I couldn't read the face of the Pro. Scored my first silver for here today. A 44 mercury no mint mark. Found a small toy. Looks like a later model Jeep. Some clad and memorial cents. Piece of a toy pistol cylinder. Wish I could have found the rest of the little bottle...a small medicine I believe. Couple of shotshell head stamps. A little trash too but still cherry picking. I've got an ongoing permission here so it will be fun for a while. Enjoy!

Thanks ya'll! I need to spend some time there. I have never seen so many targets. With short time lately, I'm cherry picking which I really never do. I had a plan to hit an area that would have been an earlier path to the house I'm at. I haven't hit the hotel foundation yet but have permission. I did the same thing as last time. Parked in the area everyone uses now. Can't even set up the machine within 25 feet of there. Every time the coil gets near the ground, non-ferrous hits everywhere. I passed signals everywhere that I normally dig. I'll have to invest lots of time to clean it up where the old stuff starts showing up. I didn't get very far. I think 16 pennies in a row along side the walk way. I've got several 100 year old oak trees to look around...didn't get that far..I.m just scratching the surface. Probably between the two properties side by side, there is maybe 4 acres to search. It may take a while..
