It was a nice little site that was "cherry picked" at some time but they left a lot of low sounding targets lie the tombac buttons and missed a few high ones too. I was just lucky to get my coil over the really good sounding targets. here are a few of my pictures of my recoveries .

Danny, you had a great and glorious, wonderful, day my friend! I love watching Dan dig shoe buckles. He calls it in the field before he gets them out of the hole. He just knows, instinctively, that if the target is deeper than his DFX indicates that it's going to be a shoe buckle. I was in shock when he brought the complete buckle to the surface and I have seen him do it before!
