Hello all!

I got out for about 90 minutes tonight... I went to a park that had a farm on it in from the mid 1800's thought till 1950ish... I've been there a gazillion times... Really... well OK... at least a few dozen :peace:

I worked a small area that yielded be a 1900 Barber Qtr and a 1946 Roosie at the beginning of this season... I got a memorial and a '56 Jeffereson...

I decided to work the trashy farm house spot in Two Tone Ferrous... with my 1:blackeye:12 SEF.... Probably should have switched to the 6X8, but what the heck... only 30 minutes of light left anywho... 5 minutes in and conductive ID from 37-41... 3-4 I was thinking modern penny...

George... I figure that they wanted the ARMY NAVY part stright up... but perhaps did not want to drill through the date on the back... hence the two holes :huh: *shrug*
