Thanks dude, that was truly an epic hunt, one by which to judge all others. I will never forget it till the day I die! Lets get out and dig some more oldies!!!

How far from the body of water were you. If it's not too far away I would be working between where you found your awesome coin and the water. A nice swim on a hot day after a picnic anyone?

Unfortunately, the water (one of my very favorite fishing spots) is now off-limits. The landowner clear-cut 36 acres and posted everything. Looks like the surface of the moon now. Used to be full of moose, deer, bear and coyotes and now it's gravel. Nothing against logging, but there's a responsible way to do it. And unlucky for B and I, what could have been amazing swinging is now a no-no
