Dave and I were finally able get out together for a hunt this afternoon.

We started at a park that neither of us had hit before. I found a wheat but we quickly got tired from the barrage of pull tab signals. A two foot sweep of the coil would sound like a slot machine that just hit a jackpot. Dave suggested we run over to a church we hit several times last year... off we went.

Picked up two more keepers at the church. :yes:

Actually it is a big piece of iron that was once attached to the side of a building. I found it last year while metal detecting... yeah, it was a big signal. lol Brought it home and found a use for it. :yes: It's about 8 x 6 x 1 Found some interesting info when I googled the name as well. thumbsup01
