Smile I'm on a roll folks!

Wow! I had a few minutes to hunt a small park in Milford today. There's a massive boulder there where the patriots used it as a lookout for the British back in the Revolutionary War. I really didn't think I'd find anything old because I know that the park was renovated. So, I headed straight to the back in the very farthest corner and WHAM. I get a solid 42 on the X-Terra 505. Dug about three inches down and out pops this beauty. A 1948-D silver Washington. I just found my first silver coin yesterday and now this. What a great hobby. It sure makes up for all the millions of pull tabs and bottle caps and makes it all worth while. Happy Hunting all!





She sure cleaned up nice!!
