Smittyman, Todd Lipe and I met on the bad side of town for breakfast on Saturday morning. We hit a couple of spots without much luck. Smittyman decided to call it a day, so Todd and I headed to one of our usual haunts.

I was lucky enough to find a '41 Merc in one of my holes. I don't know how it got in there, as NONE of the other hundreds of holes that I dug had one in it! It was really nice to see the silver disc stuck to the bottom of the plug.

I was also able to score a couple of marbles, they were very deep and barely audible... just a little peep...

The last stop of the day was an old school. I managed to score the Moby Dick charm there. It's a recent drop, but silver none the less.

YTD silver coin # 67.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

The marbles did not give a number, because they were too deep, but you could just barely hear a faint chirp, if you listen real hard...

The Deus is more of a listening machine, you shouldn't worry about the numbers, an expert once told me...

Looky there! You do have a bunch of marbles... however, after speaking with you several times... I am positive that you do not have all of your marbles.... just saying...

Thanks for the props on the silver. The silver coins have been tough to find lately. I have only gotten four in the last month.
