    Wed Group Hunt in Illinois

    My uncle and I made it out detecting yesterday with five guys from Tnet yesterday, and then my uncle and I hit two old houses. Sorry no pics, forgot my camera. I also had very few finds, had technical difficulties with my machine, so it was not a good detecting day for me, but I still had fun. Between the group there as a war nickel, two barber dimes, a rosie, some wheats, a three merc spill and misc.

    Too bad about the technical difficulties crying01 But you got to meet some people and have some fun. That hunt just goes to show you that good targets are hard to find these days. But that Merc spill must have been a lot of fun
    Finding relics is in my blood

    Looks like you guys did pretty good.
    Sorry to hear you machine is causing problems. Sounds like a good reason
    to upgrade. lol
    Glad to hear you got out today. Lately the mornings have been pretty spectacular weather wise.
    I think we received our August weather in July. Maybe we'll get September weather for the rest of
    this month.
    Thanks again for the old maps you sent me. They are very helpful. thumbsup01
