Hiluxyota and I met to make a 2 1/2 hour trip down south .
The first place we hit was a park and I only got a couple of wheats. Then we saw this very old abandoned church that was calling our names. We called the number on the door and got permission from the pastor to hunt the property. She warned us that it has been done before. She was definitely right, but I did manage to dig a pretty worn 1901 Barber Dime.
At the next town we hit, every house that we knocked at told us that a local guy had already detected their property. We tried a couple anyway and found nothing. Before we left, we were asked by one of the home owners if we could go with him to another property he owned and find his property stake for him. It took Tom about 2 minutes to find it for him. He told us to go ahead and detect the property. After about 20 minutes I got a very shallow 12-45. I thought for sure I was digging a clad dime, but out pops a 1935 Merc. I tried for a few more hours to find the Rosie for the tri-fecta, but nothing but clad and wheats after the Merc.
It was along day with out a lot of good finds, but It was still a good of day hunting.
Looking forward to the next hunt Tom. Sooner or later we're going to find that Honey Hole!!
