My drought is finally over , I got a etrac and was and was on fire finding silver and gold , had 7 hunt streak with silver and then boom a month without any good finds I mean nothing. I went out today and hunted one of my favorite spots and got a 12-44, 40, 46,47 signal and I'm thinking a another clad dime and then saw this outside the plug the most beautiful sight SILVER! !!, a 1944 merc,

I am hooked on mercs . My first was a 45 then a 42 and I just pulled a 20 this week .Now if you find a 1916 - D then you have something special . Congrats on breaking the bad mojo . I have not found anything good since the 20 . Funny how you can go to the same spots not have any luck and then pull some silver out . Makes you wonder what else there is you missed .

Congrats on the Merc Jimzz. :occasion14: Droughts come and go, just keep at it and continually look for new sites. Most of my droughts are self made. Sometimes I just want to have a cladfest and dig tons of targets. I do all kinds of sites, but mainly do permissions in town.
