    Since Last Post

    I've been sick on and off for a few months now (non-covid). When feeling well, I've been hitting a college commissary from the 1960s and a few of my colonial corn/hay fields. Lots of stuff, have at 'em.

    Yep Dave, that's a silver scarab ring, with a rebus "I'm head over heals in love with you" etched on the back.
    I dug more clad quarters at that site than I've dug in the past 10 years.

    Wow! What a haul! I cant help but think, I'd be sore the next day with bending down to dig that many times. Lol

    Thanks everyone! Moose, that was over a few months. I'd dig 15-20 quarters at that site every 90 min hunt. There's a 1000 dimes there if you want to dig dimes

    Interesting finds there! I was out ill for only a couple weeks. When I went out detecting, my wife says “You can’t go out, you’re contagious!” I said to who, the turkeys and deer? LoL! I love fall hunting in the woods!
