Hey coinnut, long time no see. LOL I am amazed at those coins. The detail is absolutely beautiful. I've always dreamed of getting a Nova. Dan must have showed you his magic cleaning technique or they just were dropped not much later than they were made. What was the soil conditions? Dark and soft soil or clay-like? Well, anyway they are really nice. I'll have to hook up with you and Del some weekend. Safer on Sundays since hunting season is close by. Thanks for the viewing. Much enjoyed.

Dan had arranged a hunt with charlives in his neck of the woods. So we were off around 4:30 this morning and hunting as soon as we could all meet up. Dan located one huge colonial monster hole lol It was nice looking and had lots of area to hunt. Unfortunately, like most holes, it was pounded. But this one was triple pounded. lol I was pretty confident I could get some targets from the lip and surrounding area, but after about 45 minutes, I was wondering who killed this hole? lol They did a super job vacuuming up all the non ferrous targets (except a couple :drool I ended up with only 1 small button and some clad and some odds and ends until I decided to use the inline probe as my main coil. rofl Heat and lack of water make you do strange things :shocked01: So after using that 1 coil for about 15 minutes, I hit a target and it read 07-46. Nice and smooth and that can only mean one thing COPPER :girlcry: So I scream copper and then go back and get another hit an inch away that reads 07-46 :girlcry: :girlcry: :girlcry: SECOND COPPER rofl I'll let you see what they are instead of spilling the beans here, but I will say, they cleaned up read nice. It was a great day and a pleasure hunting with one of our members. Drew was put through the hiking ringer and he survived with flying colors :clapping: Nice meeting and hunting with you thumbsup01
