    A Few More Coins Before it Freezes

    I went out Saturday to a new town. Shouldn't have, nothing but crabby people and no after no. After spending a few hours there trying, I moved on.
    I went to another small rural town and did much better. I dug a 1941 Washington, 2 Indians and a V nickel. I also dug a few relics ( the spoon is plated)

    Sunday, I got out for just a few hours due to the rain. I hit an old church and dug a 42 merc and a 36 Buff. Not a bad weekend!!
