Thursday's digs

I hunted an old tear down I've been hunting off and on for the past 3 years. I noticed the grass had been cut to a manageable height. I started swinging in all metal mode, but after about 30 targets (all rusty nails), I switched back to discriminate mode. There were plenty of targets, unfortunately a majority of them were can slaw.

Mostly junk

Iron pile

2 pennies 1982, 1957 wheatie, buckle, car thermostat, shraeder tire item 32 S&W casing and 22 shell and bullet (found separately)

But you know, every time you go and clean out the yuck stuff, it'll get easier to find the keepers!

That's what I keep telling myself after every piece of can slaw

I'd like to go to the hunt but I don't think I will be able to.

That is a very good possibility. I found my first IH and first buffalo nickle here. I'm positive there are still more goodies to find.

LOL Just think, this was short hunt, 3 or 4 hours. My normal hunts are 6-8 hours. I'll probably be back out there tomorrow.

Re: Thursday's digs

That's a bunch of stuff. After you clean out all the trash someone else will slip in behind you and dig the good stuff.
