Today I decided to hunt some woods I had hunted last year. Everything else is pretty much frozen around here. Took the 800 w/ 6in coil. I had dug a couple tokens on my hunt last fall but today I dug a record 9 tokens. Unfortunately 7 of them are, 
well not my favorite to dig. I call them smut tokens. One pretty cool Heads I win token and IMO a very cool great seal token. If anybody has an idea on how old the GS token is I would appreciate the input.
My first couple targets turned out to be trash and I remembered just how trashy this particular set of woods was. I also remember thinking on my return bring the 6in. coil. And glad I did, on my 4th or 5th signal up under a downed tree right next to a live tree I get a high tone in the high 30s. Down about 6in. in nice black dirt I see a blackish silver rim and thought I had an old silver dime. for sure. When I pulled it I saw the back first and saw sterling right away. At first I thought it was a button of some sort. and when I saw the front I was more than pleased with the find. Realized it was a Tiffany &Co. cufflink made for the Pittsburgh Athletic Assoc. 1908. Awesome first sterling fty. A little further on with a 26-27 from around 4ins. revealed a large disc as I wiped I could see the great seal and no cash value on the back. That being my first token fty. And a cool one at that. Can the day get better, it did. A 5 Jeff nickel spill and a couple more tokens. Then up tight between the roots of a large tree, the 6in. just fit and sounded off with a high tone in the 30s. A toasty 1901 IHP showed up from a good 7in. down. Real happy now. I was hoping for a Buff and a silver coin or two but sterling, a IHP, a cool token and the others plus a little clad made for a good day. The temps are supposed to warm up a little for the next few days so I might head back there tomorrow to see if I can find the other cufflink. Good luck to all and HH Mark
