    13 isnt such an unlucky number...

    Hey everybody!! Glad to see everyone getting out and digging the good stuff. Dave and I hit a spot today since the rain had stopped and the snow had melted. I got there before Dave since he was working on resetting his clocks this morning. I had two mercs in the pouch when he showed up. We got to hunting after visiting for a few minutes. He found a rosie quick and I popped a merc out while he was filming. He hunted a while and wasnt having much luck. I kept hearing that sound the etrac makes and I kept digging the silver. I had 7 mercs when I got a 1/46. I thought it was a merc on its side. When i broke the plug, out popped a Franklin half. I called Dave over and showed it to him. After a quick bite we got back to hunting. I got a Washington. Then he moved to another area and I got a pocket spill of a Washington and 2 more mercs. The area kinda dried up and I went over to where he was swinging. Neither of us were doing great and then I got a quarter signal. I popped out another Washington. We moved back and hunted for a while longer. I didnt get anymore but Dave was starting to get hot when I decided to give up and hit the showers. I ended up with 13 silvers, and 128 coins overall. My best yet. I love my etrac. TMAN...

    Thanks, LB. I did have somewhat of a dry spell there last year. I guess I wasnt into it as I was earlier. It was nice to break the spell and get back on trac. TMAN...

    Sickness.

    Tracy, that is unreal. I'm going to have to confiscate that detector of yours. Haaaand it over buddy. Yep, the whole rig. Pinpointer and all. Come on, let's have it. Bad T-man from Texas. Now go grab that Fisher-Price My First Metal Detector (pretty sure it's a Radio Shack Micronta) and clean up the trash out of that same area so that I can go back and score some silvers too. That is insane!!!

    Way to go Goio I mean Tracy!
