    Woods and old high school goodies

    Finds from two hunts with my hunting friend Rob aka tech125. First hunt we detected my favorite woods for few hours and my finds are 1 merc, two v- nickels, shield nickel and small sterling heart pendant. Second hunt we detected old high school where they took off 6 inches of top soil on the field. My finds 3 washington quarters, 5 mercs, 2 rosies, 1 barber dime and total of 76 wheats. Thanks for looking and HH. Mike

    Wow!!! Very excellent couple of hunts Mike. Especially the old high school.

    It's amazing the number of targets available once they pull off some top soil. You had a fantastic day.

    Thanks jkress |). High school we hunted dozen times before and pulled some nice finds from there. Once they took off top soil its suprising to me how many more goodies we are able to pull out . Thanks again and best of luck on your next hunt. HH Mike
