    Wednesday at the golf course with Al

    Name: IMG_1227.jpg Views: 133 Size: 42.5 KBName: IMG_1229.jpg Views: 161 Size: 50.0 KBFinally a nice day to dig up the golf course...50 degrees and sunny with no wind. We keep going the same areas and coins and relics keep popping up. Yesterday's finds were a 1926 Merc, 1953 and 1962-d Rosies and 2 wheats (1939 and 1952-d). And I got the Buffalo nickel I was looking for for a month! Also got this tag, couldn't find anything online about it. After digging for 4 hours I went home ,cleaned up, met up with my son and his girlfriend, drove back to Mass, hopped on the train, went to Boston for a Celtic's game and got back at 2:00 am. Definitely feeling it today! Still, I might go up for a few hours to golf course which is about an hour away.

    Great job again! Yeah you might be feeling it but detecting is so relaxing especially at a place like that so I would go there today.

    You better return or notify that club about the tag you found!
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife     (probably should have started with that one)
