    Nice finds and great to find a site that hasn't been totally picked over. My bet is that you "Will Return."image

    Have you gone back yet?? I probably would have taken off from work with a potential untouched old site like that!

    If you told pcgs69 where this site was there wouldn't be any silver for you to find. image

    good luck with the swimming hole.

    I went out today for the first time in a week and was surprised to see the ground partially frozen! The top plug was essentially a block of frozen dirt with grass. It wasn't too fun. Might try tomorrow for a bit, but this might be it for the year. A bit earlier than usual. Usually we can sneak a hunt out in early Dec, but not with a frozen ground. You're gonna have to post a lot now Demo because March is a long time away!

    Nice finds as always, thanks for posting.

    We've had some wacky weather here in Maryland. Was pretty cold last week, yet I woke up this morning to temps in the 60s. I haven't had any time to hunt lately. My local treasure club is going to try another group hunt in a couple of weeks, provided the ground isn't frozen and the weather is agreeable.

    we found out what was on the property. supposed to have had 2 houses and a fruit cannery. this doesn't explain all the tokens being dug. there has been a lot of the same token dug here.
