    A Couple of Holiday Hunts

    Noah and i went out for a few hours on the 26th. We did one house and I dug a 1925 merc and two Indians. 1889 & 1902.
    Saturday, we went out with Hiluxyota ( Tom ). We went out looking for farm house but only managed to get into two. Noah & tom managed a couple of keepers. All I dug were a few wheats.
    Near the end of the day, we hit one house in a small rural town. I thought I was going to get skunked until I got an 8" 12-12 signal. It ended up being an 1867 Shield Nickel.
    I went home Happy!!!
