    Big chunk of silver

    Sunday night I was granted permission for a quick hour hunt before dinner. I headed to the park where I happened
    upon Joe (MinelabIowa) exercising his permission for a likewise short outing. lol

    We talked for a while and then hunted together. He pocketed several wheat cents and I managed two. After blowing both of our
    deadlines... each of us headed home to fire up the barbecue to feed the families. We decided a full out hunt together
    was necessary in the future.

    Tonight Dana and I took our daughter to the park for some play time and I brought along my gear for some treasure hunting. In the half hour I swung the coil, I came up with one wheat cent and this nice, chunky, lawn mower hit sterling bracelet.


    It's always nice to see a silver coin in the hole, but silver jewelry is the next best thing.

    That is a neat piece Joe. You have to take advantage whenever you can to swing the coil. lol
