    My son had A Good Hunt / Another Silver

    I took my son, Digger Al out to a friends house in an old mining town after work this evening. The house was built around the turn of the century and as far as he knew it has never been hunted. As my buddy and I did some catching up, Al took to the yard with the e-trac. His first two finds were another old metal cosmetic case and an oriental ring. ( looks like silver but its not stamped ) his next few signals were a couple of wheats and a token from the Museum of science and industry.Then a heart shaped charm. With about half an hour before dark he dug 4 more wheats and his first Rosie of the year. A 1950. He only had time to hunt about half the yard so we will be going back later this week for more. He Did Good !!
