I figured this might be the last hunt of the year, and I better at least try to post it at least. (Bad habit of not)

Did some pre winter chores and a warm breeze was getting us up to 50F.
2pm I'm going to play.
Truck battery dead.:BangHead:
Quick jump:hello2:

Off I went to a near by permission.
It had been in beans now disked up.

I ended up doing 90 minutes and a couple of keepers.
The conditions were pretty wet and sticky, so a change of programs was needed to settle the machine down.
So a tweaked general setting had me going.

Eyeball find of the glass bead.

Then a assortment of broken harmonica reeds, smunched lead bullet, Headstamp from 1901-1910.

OTWBTTT a sweet 92 then it went 94-96 out of the hole.
Oh ya silver, 1st one from this site.

So that one made a short sticky hunt well worth the mud on the boots.

So 16 recoveries in the pouch, probably threw 8 pieces of iron into the rock pile.
