    The grove gives up its 80th silver.

    On Wednesday morning I returned to a site that I had hunted with the V3i a couple years ago and managed a few wheats and two Rosies a 64 and 48-S. After lunch I hunted the wooded areas of my infamous grove and manage to dig my 80th silver from this site of dreams. It was a 24 Merc with a cousin in the same hole a 1912 V Nickle.
    Today I hunted the grove again and managed 12 wheats and another Merc 1944-D. I also found a few relics.

    Was the pocket spill kind of jumpy? Kind of hanging around the mid 30's? With just a squeak every now and then with a Co. #45?
