    Took the Dirt Fishing America guys out after work tonight

    I took the Dirt Fishing America guys for a field hunt after work tonight for a couple of hours. These guys are good luck for me cause I seem to dig nice stuff when they're around. I dug two nice LCs with tons of detail and a first for me two pieces of Spanish Silver in one night. They have most of it on film so at some point it will be out. They are a great group to hunt with. They are very up beat and happy for the finds of others just as it should be. They did well but that's their story to tell.

    Ah that would have been a better post title. " A Double Double" I should have thought of that. I'll tell you one thing it was a hot dig I dug all four of those coins in less then 40 minutes in a 30' square of field.

    Fantasitic Todd. Amazing shape those two LCs are in after being buried for ~200 yrs. Must have been dropped when nearly new considering how readable the "liberties" are.
