    North of I-80 - First SLQ

    I would have probably stayed in tonight and watched MNF but sitting at 46 silver with a goal of 50 I decided to put on the long johns and get outside. I have hit this place almost all summer so I thought I would pay special attention to one way signals since all the easy stuff had been found. First 10-15 minutes resulted in junk before I got the merc. Hey this technique is working... half hour later dug both of the rings in one hole, yay a jewelry spill! Too bad they were both junk rings. Nearly done for the night and got my first SLQ about 6 inches down with a Jesus pendant about 3 feet away. It is marked sterling and I think there is a date as well but I can't read it.

    Anyways... up to 48 now! I can't beleive it.

    Thanks for looking and HH! GTL

    Wow Jason, I love that SLQ

    The only SLQ this year for me was a "no-date" I found in the yard of a 1960's house.

    HAHAH I know what you mean! It was about a month after having my etrac and I woke up from a dream and the clock was at 12:47 - the first thought was QUARTER! I knew I was hooked at that very moment!
