    Scored a GRAND SLAM and stole a couple extra bases too!

    Went out with D-Dub today to a couple of sites. I didn't have too much time before work, so we decided not to drive too far.

    Arrived at our first site, and nothing for the first hour but a lonely IH. Walked back over to an area I've hit before at this site and I got a wheatie signal. Not quite convinced it was a wheatie (and digging several of these signals 2 yrs ago), I dug a plug to discover my Oldest U.S. silver to date. An 1843 Seated dime that is pretty worn. (Wish it was a 1844 though $$$). Not thinking anything of it, we detected this site for another 30mins before deciding to check out another site.

    Within 5 minutes at this new site, I dug a very deep '36 Merc. About 5' away from the Merc, I got another deep "irony" sweet signal and out popped the '52 Rosie. Now we haven't even been at this site for fifteen minutes yet and I already have a tri-fecta.

    Well, not even ten minutes went by and I had yet another deep signal that I could barely pick out through the iron. After I dug the plug, the signal disappeared and I couldn't find the target. As I was about to grab my shovel and move on, I noticed something silver on it. BAM! '02 Barber dime stuck to my shovel and completing my grand slam.

    Funny thing is, that I hadn't realized I had a grand slam until about 10 minutes later. I turned to D-Dub and said, "Dude, I just got a frickin' Grand Slam, Holy S#*t!"

    Before we left, I also ended up getting a 2 Quarter pocket spill; 1920-D SLQ and a 1907-D BBQ. We were at this 2nd site for 45 mins. Definitely my best time:silver ratio. A hunt I will not forget an time soon. Enjoy and HH!

    LoL. I was actually pretty close to going back home without one sock, but luckily I ("jon") was at a park nearby.

    Another outstanding hunt for you.

    If you guys continue this streak to your water hunting in a few months you will need to open a jewelry store.
