    Complete Colonial Buckle, Crotal Bell, Fatty Indian Head....

    Hello all!

    I got out for a 5 hour hunt today... and I was in a 10100 spot all day... Once I found a nice big button and I kept getting decent to great signals and stayed working that area...



    The Button that started it all... was at the base of a small tree... 5-6 down...



    Not long after that 12/26 @ 5 on a pathway... (Small button in totals picture) Treble Colour Gilt writtin on back...

    about 2 hours into the hunt... crazy signal... that mostly said 10/31, but went from 1/46 to the jumpiest signal I've ever seen... and it was 2 down... I thought it was junk... but in my head was Coinnut telling me to dig it like it was colonial... after all you are next to a 1705 Tavern...

    Does it get any prettier than this





    I did a realy light water toothbrush rinse... that applied some Renaissance Wax... She is SA-WEEET ! :-)

    30 minutes later... I got a nice 8/24 9/24 on a section walked to the house... 5 down... I think if I do anything to it... all will be lost.... Looks like 1862... She is a fatty...



    My last target was only a few inches down as well... #2 Crotal Bell...



    Happy Colonial Relic Day in my World !!

    Paul
