Default Dime Grandslam!!!
Hit my old fairgrounds this morning. Found some clad first hour or so then decided not to dig anything above 4 inches. Grided a section out along the midway and started popping out wheats and some silver. Rosie was around 4" merc was down in the 5" area. Last 2 hits were pegged out on depth meter. Sniffed out a well worn 1903 Barber standing straight up. It was an easy 8 to 9" My lesche digger was buried to top of handle. Few minutes later sniffed out a Seated at 7". Never thought about it till I got home and layed them them out ,then it hit me"shucks I got a slam" lol. Thank goodness for the rain finally.

That's a great hunt. Fairgrounds can be a lot of work but very often it's worth it.
