So, I had a nice weekend. I finally could not resist any longer and hit this site I got permission to detect last year. I'm glad I did as it produced very well. A nice collection of coppers including my first fatty IH, and a 1869 semi-key IH and a 1864, not sure about the L. Also, a nice old LC 1819. Oh, did I mention some nice silver!

Today I went back to an old haunt that still produces silver just about every time I visit. I've pulled 4 WL halves from this place plus dozens of smaller silver. Today did not disappoint, a nice merc and a really "screwed up" war nickel. I've heard of people pulling nice targets out of holes with iron, but this is going a bit beyond my expectations. There it was, fairly deep, between 6-7" and ringing nice and loud. I would have thought the iron screw that bonded to this war nickel would have kept its prize hidden for all eternity, except it didn't anticipate my Minelab and my trusty 12X15" SEF coil.

Well thanks for looking,

Jai
