Size:  56.2 KBI found this 1832 Matron head at the park within 10 yards of where I found the Ct copper last week. I literally had only 5 or 10 minutes of battery life left when I got the sketchy deep signal. So a 1829 half cent, this largie, a 1788 Ct copper and 2 silver rings (my wife confiscated the other one) along with the sterling religious medal, 5 mercs, about 15 wheats and $12 in clad in the last 2 weeks. As far as variety goes probably my best 2 weeks ever and every find within a mile of my house! And my back hurts lol.

    Excellent Mike! You've really started the year off with a bang, and being close to your house - doesn't get any better than that. So when the wife calls you can say "I"ll be home in 5 minutes!" instead of "I'll start heading home - be there in an hour".
