Thanks everyone for nice comments. Tim I think that token did bring me some luck that day so I will make sure to have it on Sunday for Batavia hunt :grin: I love my Ace250 with that big foot coil which definitely give me more depth, which IH was about 10inches down. Also wont to give congrats to all the members for great finds over this weekend, lots of good finds :clapping: Best of luck to everyone and like always HH. Mike

Thanks Tim again for taking pictures and making video of the hunt. Next hunt I'm bringing my camera too and will try to make my own video for the first time. :yes: Hey you can borrow my lucky token for next weekend hunt if you like.
P.S. Sunday weather 40% chances of rain showers, bring your rain cover too. HH Mike

Hey, where did you find my good luck token? You won't believe this but I had that same exact token when I was a kid I carried it all the time for about 5 years and one day I lost it. I've never seen another one until now. Very cool.

It was at the old park in Naperville in IL. HH Mike

Man, what a great hunt! 7 silver, Indians, Buffs, and a whole bunch of other goodies... That's always a good time with friends. Great park you found there. What's left??
