Had a cardiac moment....

[Pudsbrat]

Was hunting my neighbor's yard the other day....he and his family had to move out due to storm damage....so I decided to go over and hunt his yard....found lots of clad and then hit a wheat patch and found several wheaties....then I got THE SIGNAL.....dug down and found a Merc....thought it was one from the 40's....nope....was a 1916.....flipped it over and prayed....it has an S....NO D.....oh well I guess it is still a good find.....worth $20....I will take it....see ya later......

Congrats on the Merc, nice huntin there

 

[Pudsbrat]

Yes I had permission....and the owner told me I could keep whatever I found.....if I had found a D...he would not have taken the money....I would have offered it to him but I am 99% sure he would have told me to keep it....next time I see him over there working I will show him the Merc and tell him the story......

Sorry I hadn't noticed you're New York. No wonder you dissed him like that. Pudz is a good ol' Arkansas southerner who respects his neighbors.
His own home was almost destroyed by a tornado and repaired it all himself.
His neighbor had to move away temporarily and told Pudz he could detect all
he wanted to.

Pudsbrat is a member of a Metal Detecting Club started by my old buddy and
mentor since the late 60's. All those Mena clubbers were taught the ettique of
responsible detectorists. 'nuff said

Been there done that! I'm still hoping for a D to pop up one of these days. Found 4 S mints so far. Nothing like that gets the old heart pumping
