Default 5 steps from the door and a new spot

The other day, I was hunting in the back yard in a new mode on my machine. I found a nice Indian head . I have hunted this yard up and down , left and right, and all around. On my way out today I figured I would putz around in the yard a little more. I walked about 10ft from my stairs and started swinging. No kidding, my 1st target turns out to be a 57 rosie. I walk about another 10 ft and a Dog tag from 1918 pops out of the hole. I was hunting in TTF again. These targets must have been masked by the iron the last time I hunted there.
Well after I swung there for a while , I decided to go to a old school that was built in the 40's.
Turns out that was the right choice. I came out of the park with a 1911 v nickel, and 4 wheats. I think if I grid this spot there might be more there. Hopefully , its another honey hole. If the Phillies win tonight , that would be a cherry on the top of this nice day. HH Everybody. Good luck out there.

Nice job, I like to switch between modes once in a while to change things up. Always turns up something different! HH
