Third Time Lucky.
Howdy Folks. Been swinging a new permission down the road from my place. It an old house renovation a young man is doing. I wished I had gotten permission sooner as he has ripped up much yard and poured a fabulous two car garage on to this old house. Anyway the first two hunts there were basically digging tons of nails and Betty Baker's damnable aluminum pie pans ripped to shreds all over the yard.
I went out this afternoon and changed my Nel Snake coil over to the RC26. I was in serious cherry picking mode looking for an old coin somewhere as the previous two hunts barely got me any clad. I hit a spot with a few deep penny signals and the fun began. I opened a plug in the dry crumbling dirt and found my first wheat of six. Somewhere in all the joy of recovering all these "older" targets and praying for some silver the very nice condition 1942D Merc revealed itself. I was pretty happy one of the wheats in the spill was a 1918S. One of the wheats in my picture came from the old school here in town and it was actually recovered with my Garrett AT Pro which barely has any land hunting time on it. Might have to give her some swing time. I got the old Avon Tiny Lipstick Tube today as well. The 1970 Lee County Dog Tax was dug on a previous hunt. Dug a section of "brass buckle" or something that looks old. The rain swooped in tonight and chased me off but, I had a blast. Old spills are a hoot. Thanks for stopping by. Kurios1

Suffice it to say there's piles of dirt laying around and huge sections of scraped off sod free for all style digging. The owner has a nice newer BIG GREEN & YELLOW tractor with a huge bucket. I imagine he'll be moving more dirt around so I might get some easy pickins up the road.
