but i was patient and kept workin it.the open areas away from hole are pretty much signaless.
i used a brass brush on it.its pitted pretty badly and just a plain band.
hey he snuck in a hunt on me yesterday..paybacks a bish :beatdown:
nah he couldn't get out today.gonna take smiley to my sites friday.see if we can squeek out some more coppers :confused:
Nice handfull of finds.There is always something left at sites you just have to try different approaches.
