    Only a little bit of silver today (barely).

    Hey diggers,

    I went back to the old park over in East STL and worked a trashy area. Lots of modern coins but only a couple signals deeper than 6 inches. Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

    All the coins look like they were early drops--lots of good details still visible.

    Dave, is this an old site that you are now using the Etrac on? I remember your comment about "early Sunday morning". Nice hunting and two silvers in my book is more than "barely". Those wheat's look good.

    on your keepers.

    Nice thing about the later Rosies they are very sharp. I'd say that was pretty successful hunt. For some reason you don't see many '24 Lincolns and that one is nice. Great hunt. WD

    Thanks for commenting. It is a site I hunted many, many times with my ACE 250 and now am revisiting with my e-trac. I made some of my first YouTube videos there back in 2010! Here's the link: http://youtu.be/DNQaoP8ALyI
