1st keeper recovered was a musket ball... not to deep... it was 12/28 till I dug the plug then it read 12/31...
I worked the field a little then decided to work along the old road... and I'm glad I did...
This was a choppy signal, but enough to peak my interest...
These suckers are small and thin... No wonder why they are so elusive...
Here is an old Clover Harmonica...
Hunt #20: I headed back to the same site I was at yesterday that yielded the 1853 Half Dime and 1903 Indian Head...

Next I checked out two new possible sites close by and headed to the second spot I selected to hunt...
I've been to this site 3-4 times last year... I yielded me an 1892 Barber Qtr my 1st trip there...
and my 100th silver for 2010... I'd say 8-10 silver coins at this spot last year... but I knew there was more :-)
