Default Research Paid Off!

Hey, guys, my brother, Keith, and I decided to do a little detecting at one of my research spots, and it paid off. I found this location while browsing my local library's historical photo archives. I knew that it would pay off eventually, but I didn't know when. About 5 minutes into our hunt, I pulled out a 1901 Liberty Head "V" nickel at a depth of 3 inches. I also found 2 Wheats today. I also received a 5.5 inch "dime" reading that I couldn't dig because of the frozen tundra; hopefully it will be a silver dime.

Here is a picture of the area that we detected today. The "V" nickel was found where the truck is parked in the photo. Oh, the picture doesn't have any woods, but today there is a wooded area in the background of the picture.

Here is a picture of Zoy's research spot that was productive! He found his 1901 nickel a little to the right of the truck. This area is wooded now in the background of the picture. We are going to hit this spot tomorrow. I'm going to the woods! I wonder if Zoy will follow me there and we will have a for the TREASURE?
