Can't argue with that Paul - spot on.

A great coin - was it from the CHADS rally?

Thanks everyone for the comments. I was still on a high last night and I didnt get much sleep

It was a very lucky find I was using a Etrac with a 12 x 10 sef coil and heard the smallest blip, rechecked it and only got a good signal with a 1" hover over the target. It landed right in the hammy area and was about 3" to 4" down.
