Only got out for two hunts this last week due to illness and weather. Both provided some success. The first outing I went back to the little honey hole I had been to the previous four hunts. This time I finished the area where I was finding the older coins. In the first two hours of this outing I managed 4 Silver Coins and 6 more Wheat's. I went back over the area looking for missed signals and then moved on to the next section only finding some clad for the last three hours of the hunt. For the second outing this week I was invited on a hunt with IDX Monster. We both had some travel (90 miles for me) to get to this site but well worth it. The site a old park has some good history with a lot of possibilities for success. Still you really had to work hard for the rewards. I was blessed as I dug a Barber Dime and a old Merc along with 4 Wheat's and a pocket full of clad. These 6 Silver coins now have me sitting at 32 FTY. The surprise came as we were taking a lunch break sitting on a picnic table. We were talking and eating when Kevin reached out his hand palm down and said I want to show you something. I reached out figuring he had a good find to show me. Well what he dropped into my hand left me stunned. He said congrats Trap as this is your prize for winning last years oldest coin contest. The prize a 1852 $1 Gold Coin. IDX Monster is a class guy that loves this hobby. He sponsors this contest totally by himself. I want to say thank you and to let him know how happy I am that he is my friend. On to the next. Trapper
