    Last hunt of the year! Silver!

    Did another one of my early morning hunts this morning. I was up by 6 am and on the road to my new hot spot. I knew it was going to be a tough hunt with a temp of only 20 degrees and 10-12 mph winds. I decided I was going to brave it one last time before the ground froze solid in hopes of finding one last silver before the long winter of no detecting began. Had a good hunt with 2 Mercs dated 1942D and a well worn 1920. Picked up two Wheats and some clad to round out the 1 1/2 hour hunt. Thanks for looking.
