    Sons Annual Birthday Party

    We went back to the lake for my sons annual birthday party.
    I got a couple hours in detecting. About a couple hours after and a hour before grilling dogs and burgers. In my 1 hour before lunch I got a few wheats and a silver Washington. After the grilling and pick up duties were done I headed back to look for dome more silver. Not long into it a got another silver Washington! As the afternoon was winding down I got another deep 12-47! I was thinking it could be.another silver quarter. But after digging 6 or 7 inches and still not to it (but felt the leashe hit something hard I took out a couple more inches and flopped the dirt on the pile and was completely stunned to see a WLH sitting there!! Thats the second WLH I've got from this beach!! Got a war nickle too.

    There's the comment I've been waiting for!
    As soon as I dug it I thought about how you'd lay it on me.
    Oh and the "Captain" came afterwards.
