    Good Friday turned out to be a Great Friday for metal detecting !

    Went back to my favorite spot on Friday and there must have been lots of movement in the ground with the freezing and thawing over the winter because I had hit this spot around the same time last year with the same machine and coil . Happy Easter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice haul. Sometimes it's the moisture that helps, other times it's because we slow down, or just the ground moving around. Whatever the reason, it was giving up the goods that day lol You even got a play coin rofl Nice big silver and a super hunt man.
