    Karats for Christmas!!!

    So for Christmas I got a new Lesche Sampson shovel and a rain cover for the T2. Even though it was muddy out, I just felt the need to get the shovel dirty. Turns out it was a good thing I did,,, as I got my first gold ring. It was a bouncy signal, about 7 inches down. Also found a old Smurf brooch that I think may be one of the original ones from the 80's. The plastic zombie was a surface find. Not bad for a quick one hour hunt!!
