    Rainy Day Silver

    Woke up this morning with no plans of getting out due to weather reports last night saying it was going to rain. Looked outside and it wasn't raining. Checked the _adar and it was showing an small opportunity to get in a quick hunt. Checked with the ladies and they were going shoe shopping so L4S and I scooped up Treasurefiend and headed out. Not sure where we were headed I suggested a spot L4S and I researched this winter and we had our spot. I was surprised by how old first place was. I was thinking 30's and 40's but as you will see, it was much, much older. Anyway, we got a few hours in, got wet, got muddy, and got silver. Worth every penny. And dime.
