    First Hunt of the Year.

    I met up with Tony Two-Cent & Noah Saturday for our first hunt of 2021. They both had a pretty good day. Me, not so much. But it was still great getting out after a crappy winter!!

    I got a 12-46 high tone at about 5 inches. I dug a 5" plug and to my surprise i pull out an 1888 Indian, then I pulled out about 5 nails. I re-swept the hole and the high tone was still there.
    2" Below the Indian, I pulled out a clad quarter. Very strange!

    The first of many great hunts this year! So odd about the quarter below the IH. Any thoughts as to why?
