My Day Saturday

Hi all

I spent about 10 hours Saturday (04/28/07) and dug up this little pile of coins and other stuff including a silver ring not in picture.

OMy! 10 hours; that is hardcore!
I think the most contiguous time I have ever done was 7 hours.
That's a pile of coins.

I really takes self control to methodically search an area like you describe.
I know its the most thorough, but I have never been able to do it myself.

What a coin count for one hunt!

Methodical for sure! I meander so much, it's like I'm following a river. I never know where I'm gonna end up. Great hunting. Congrats!
