Title should be "Spanish Silver Karma"...not sure what Karna is...lol.

My regular hunting bud is away so today I decided to leave any new sites until he's back next week and just hunt a couple old standby sites. Chose the site where I found the Pumpkin Patch Cache last fall as it had been plowed this summer. I started at the bottom end of the field and managed some scraps and a couple buttons...wasn't worth staying so decided to try another site. Heading back to the car I get a decent and shallow 74 on the AT Pro. It wasn't deep and the ground was soft so I lopped the target with my pinpointer and first thought I had a fishscale 5 cent but then saw ugly Carolus and knew it was Spanish! This is my first Spanish this year after finding three last year. Great to be back on the Spanish silver board!

Is that a one real?
74 is low isnt it? My 1/2 R rang in at 78.

Either way sweet digs!

It's a half. May have come in low because it was on the side of a furrow.
