    Fun 2 hours

    Mike and I headed out this morning for a short hunt at a spot he found. Its old, a small piece of land, has been hunted by everyone and pickins were few. Its also loaded with iron. On they way back to the cars I got an weird, iffy shallow signal but I did get a consistant high tone in 1 direction if I swung very slow. Decided to dig the 2 and out popped a 1907 Barber quarter <: Good friends, cool finds, exercise... Gotta love this hobby!
    Tomorrow morning we're heading back out to a spot that I've done very well at in the past. I hope the silver streak continues for both of us.

    Nice one Steve. Although I have yet to find one, I know of several people that found them in shallow ground...very similar story....the difference is , I wonder why that thing wasn't screaming at you and only heard in one tiny direction.....must have been the iron in the soil?
