Not too bad, we weren't there that long, be worth gridding it out there I think, and that guy with the glasses I was talking to at the end of the day he is the guy in charge who gave me the original permission to hunt.

Thanks for that :). I love finding silver but beach silver tends to need more cleaning... which I hate to do but without cleaning you can't even see what they are sometimes. I really like getting park/non-beach silvers because they usually come up really nice :).

Does anyone know what that button is?

This one is a bit late... but never the less.

This was the hunt with DJevel at a permission that he scored... I don't know how he does it as I keep getting ignored... lol

He won the silver war that we usually have but I won the spendable ;).
