That's what my Grand Mother told me Forty six years ago when I got my first whites metal detector and I was shocked because I had never heard her say anything like that before. I had just dug my first mercury dine in her yard and was really excited but that put the stops on that project.

Grand Ma was a sweetest Woman that ever lived but both she and the house are gone now and yesterday I went back with permission to search for the old yard and that spot at the old grape vine where I found that first Merc.

With the help of the land owner and my Whites VX 3 I got close enough to after an hour or so located the yard and go
Gram ma silver.jpg t back on that forty​ six year old memory. This was the result but just as I found the SLQ thru my heads phones I heard some one hollering at me as I rolled it in my hand. Grand Ma?? I thought? Na cant be and turn out to be a neighbor at a house next to the field to tell me where a dog was buried.


  • I'm going to return but this was the best from the four hour hunt. Thanks for listening to my memories. :metaldetector: Gram ma silver.jpg
