Well I'm not quite sure what constitutes a honey hole (60 by 30 yard area) but the last month and a half will really be hard to beat I'm sure, for many, many years to come...and I'm sorta sad that things seem to be winding down. I've spent hunt after hunt walking out with silver BUT I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL and I need to start telling myself that this will not last. I don't want to get to the point where if I don't find silver in the future that the hunt will somehow have been a bad one... Before this large silver run I was happy with a hunt that produced just one wheat.
I guess it's time to go into Two Tone Ferrous mode (E-trac) to see if I can pull a few more silvers out of this one particular area? Maybe buy a bigger coil? I've already tried my smaller X-5 coil with not much luck.
So with winter fast approaching here's everything I've been lucky enough to find in the last 45 days. I know from all of you that a location can never be truly hunted out (I certainly hope not) but I've definitely started to notice a slow down in my finds. I have also started to investigate signals I wouldn't normally dig to see what else this great spot has to offer.

After doing a bit of research I've learned that the WW2 pin I found are actually "G" Glider Wings.
Normandy, France-On 6 June 1944, in the early morning hours of darkness on that famous day, an airborne armada began releasing gliders and paratroopers in Operation "Overlord," the largest combined airborne and seaborne invasion in history.
