Hey Dave. I remember a few years back having shoulder and back trouble and missing nearly the whole season. It SUCKED! Congrats on persevering through the pain and getting some really cool stuff. Of course that lovely little military button you were keen enough to snag from the root ball of the fallen tree stands out as the coolest find by far for me. For one it's historic nature and two you knew to scan that root ball with your coil. Excellent recovery there mate!:icon_salut: I never got any silver halves this season. I guess it's because I changed my hunting locations from sidewalk strips and private homes to more fields and woods hunting. So you did very well while battling adversity my friend. May 2018 be a season of 100% health and a whole lotta' fun swinging down there in the warmth of Florida.:headbang:

May the best finds of 2017 be the worst of 2018.
Good luck in 2018
