The good: 4 silvers (all mercs) '19, '42, '43d, '44; 12 wheats (a new personal best/one day record!! YAY!!) '10, '18, '39, '40 (x2), '41, '42d, '44d, '45d, '50d, '50s, '51d; and $7.92 in clad (28 quarters, 5 dimes, 2 nickels, and 32 cents (27 copper and 5 zinc)). The '19 merc is in excellent condition (full split bands), which is nice as you don't normally find teens era mercs in this shape...also, the '42 merc was found only 1/2" deep in undisturbed ground!! First time THAT'S ever happened to me... :icon_scratch: :dontknow:

The bad: This marks the THIRD time since getting my E-Trac that I've found 4 silvers on the same day. While I finally broke my all time one day wheatie record, I can't seem to dig more than 4 silvers to break my all time one day silver record...oh well, it'll happen eventually I'm sure...

The ugly: 12+ hours of digging in 96 degree heat with a heat index of over 100 degrees (I did take a 1 1/2 hr lunch break, but that was it)...Total time out yesterday was 13 1/2 hrs (includes the 90 min lunch break; started @ 7am, dug the last target @ 8:30 pm)...

Not sure if I wanna brave the heat again today...pics below. Enjoy!! :)

Iron Man Paul! You get the never too hot for me award and you got enough to pay for the lunch break and then some.

Most silver for one day for me this year is three, yeah, all quarters but hey, you're winning the numbers game! Don't complain!

Great Day!
