    Man O Man Did This Spot Look Good!

    Been waiting a couple weeks for this and they pulled out this block yesterday. Worked too late to hit it last night, so stopped today. I found some iron, trash and these.

    Good finds, but a bit disappointing. I had hoped to hit that spot myself, but haven't had time to keep an eye on it. Those tearouts don't produce as good as they look sometimes

    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    Do you also do the grass between the tear out and the road? The dirt looks like clay. Must be nice digging without rocks. Congrats on the keepers!

    If you get time may want to go back and hit it with a small coil.

    I never got out due to work. You gotta be quick around out area. I've seen a sidewalk come up in the morning, forms set by lunch, and new sidewalk poured by afternoon.
