This was totally crazy, the day was beautiful and yet pretty chilly. I/we haven't been detecting since the 1st week of June before the operation and then the great move. I told the wife that even if it was only for a little while, I was going today. So made sure her Deus was charged up and my 600. We went out to our old permission that has produced so much awesome stuff for us and it did not disappoint today. This is the crazy part, we weren't expecting anything like silver, just some hole digging.

My very 1st hole dug in 5 months plus is a 52 Rosie! The next two holes were Wheaties and my wife is already threatening me with bodily harm. I finally dig a couple pull tabs, several memorials and other things like bullets and rivets etc. Finally I am pretty shot and am making my way back to the truck (where I have parked like 50 times before) and I dig another 24 signal that turns in a slightly better one as the hole is dug. Out pops a 1928 Merc! Both silvers are maybe within 30 yards of the truck.

The wife? Well she was dishing out the smack with her trash talking on the way there but I did all of the smacking. The 600 did awesome, Park 2, multi freq and in tracking. The Nox can really spoil a newbie with it's abilities at its price. Sure felt good to be swinging and digging again, the silver and wheaties were icing on the cake! DL silver #45 and #46 for the year too

I will let you in a little secret of mine... I love to find merc dimes! I love that coin for some reason.
 

That old permission is still giving up great finds for you.
 

Nice to see you’re getting out again and digging silver. Congrats
 

thanks everyone, this has been one awesome permission that has produced some very exciting finds for us. also proves that it isn't no where close to being "hunted out". oh yeah
 

Nice Merc! :icon_thumleft: Congrats!
 

What a great way to recoup with some silver. Well done
 

just goes to prove that actually asking for permission in spite of the odds can really pay off big time. go ask! it is already a no right now but could turn into the yes of a life time
 

DL! Welcome back my friend. We sure have missed you. No better way of remaking an entrance than bringing some shiny with you. Well done!!
 

Good show my man!

Best of luck to you sir.
 

Way to keep those silvers coming DL. Glad to hear your back out.
 

I guess most of us know what it is like to have to read about other people's finds and so forth because you can't go yourself for what ever reason. I was just happy to actually be swinging again and in this area was not expecting any coins or anything good. we had standing water in where I wanted to go and was forced to hunt in the area where we park most of the time. I always begin swinging immediately out of the truck and then back to the truck so I never dreamed of finding two silvers that close to the truck much less two wheaties. The smack talking wife wants to go back this evening but dressed warmer, something about redemption or revenge. It was good to get the hands dirty again (forgot the gloves.)
 

Nox magic!

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny
