    First December Hunt. Nice Little Pocket Spill.

    I got out today with my friend Tim to do a little door knocking. We found a small rural town neither of us has been to before.
    The first house we stopped at gave us a very friendly yes. After about 15 minutes, I got a 12-36 at 7 inches. I dug the plug and pulled out an 1906 Indian. Ok, great start to the morning, only it gets better. I re swept the hole and get another 12-36 signal. I opened up the hole, dug a little deeper and out comes a 1907 V nickel. Cool, but why was it ringing up 12-36? Laying next to it was another Indian, an 1890. Awesome start to the day!!
    Before the day was over, I dug a 1944-S Merc and another Indian, an 1891.

    It so exciting when you dig a hole and find out the original target has "friends"!

    The back of this Indian was up against the face of the V. I thought about cleaning the V more, but decided to leave it as is.
