    thanks Dan!
    this site is frustrating because of all the new junk in the hole & around the hole.i found the 2 center just behind the inn hole amongst a bunch of junk.the tombac was closer to the rd where you always parked the jeep. so much new garbage because it's so close to the road it's crazy.
    but i was patient and kept workin it.the open areas away from hole are pretty much signaless.
    i used a brass brush on it.its pitted pretty badly and just a plain band.

    hey he snuck in a hunt on me yesterday..paybacks a bish
    nah he couldn't get out today.gonna take smiley to my sites friday.see if we can squeek out some more coppers

    Nice handfull of finds.There is always something left at sites you just have to try different approaches.
    For every relic that rots away........a piece of history is lost.
