Steve and I hit a local school yard Sunday morning that has given us silver in the past (school built in the 1950's). After digging some clad and wheats got a nice 84 VDI at 5 inches, thought for sure I had a quarter. After digging the plug was shocked to see a large cent. After cleaning with some water and hand rubbing found it to be a King George! After that we headed over to a farm house we had our eye on. The owner of the house granted us permission and we spent about an hour there. Steve got silver on his first swing :peace: and I dug many wheats. She said we may come back any time as long as we check in |:cheering:HH all.
