A bad day which got better......yahoo

[gregd573]

Lets keep this short......Lady calls and asks if I could replace her heat tape on her 8 foot or so water line......I say yes if she will let me metal detect her yard (circa 1900 to 1934).....she agrees and off I go thinking I have a hour or so job in front of me......after inspection of her 40 foot water line (under a trailer no less) I get to work while she goes for more supplies.....about an hour later here comes the rain we was'nt supposed to get and now I get to waller around in the dirt and the mud and the blood for another 2 and a ha;f hours.....yahoo. After it was all said and done I got in a couple of hours of detecting and my first good signal was a 1942d mercury dime (my very first) and I was excited to say the least....a few signals later I had found a token for "OK Vender" as it turns out they built machines of chance and gumball machines from approximately 1913 to 1933. So now the day is good and I will be going back as the invatation is open.......Now........I'm heading for the shower and getting some of the mud off.......see ya all......HH.....gregd573

Hey Greg , Nice finds ! especially the merc, you never forget your first merc. I've only found four in

a year and a half - they are one of my very favorite coins to find. Happy hunting Argentium.

Way to go "Greg". Very nice finds. By the way, when you get done over at
"warsawdaddy's", I got about 30 feet here in Overland Park, KS, O'h well,
forget it. Congratulations. Doug (blklab)
