A few good finds but Nate scores BIG today!

[Mirage]

Got a nice big silver ring at a closeby small park we have only hunted once before. It was fun seeing that big thing pop out of the hole! The roadster came from an old homesite in the woods. I was able to find it in the 30 minutes before being chased out by mosquitoes.

However, today's hunt was by far the funnest. We had hunted about 45 minutes and I had found a merc. Nate came over with that big grin. “You are not going to believe what I found” he says. You will have to wait for his post but I will give you a hint. It was not only one first but two, no three firsts! All silver. Nothing really worth that much but two of them are now his oldest silver.

Oh yeah, another cheap thrill – found two Golden Rats in the same hole!

Sorry if you were expecting more details on Nate's find(s). Thought I might let the suspense build.

What is it?? What is it? You're killing me Bob!!!!!!
Can't wait to see Nate's post, but in the meantime it looks like you did pretty darn well yourself. Congrats on the silver. That big honking ring looks like a weapon!!!
The CC token pocket spill was icing on the cake.
You da Man!!!

Doug,
I rember when I found that half real and you posted about my "great find". Henry couldn't bear the suspense. Maybe we live in too much of an instant gratification society.

The car is actually from the 50's. Diecast. I'm going to restore it this winter. 8)

It looks like dad and son are back in true style. You guys always come home with silver.

If I know Nate like Nate knows Nate, he is going to make you and the rest of the forum into a bunch of happy gibbons. Your son is a great hunter!

BOB, those mercs are drawn to you like skeeters to open flesh! Golden1 says hi. We are planning a hunt this coming weekend, hopefully with lots of pics. Haven't found much lately. Maybe I'm due! SPLENDORIFIC! HOGGE

Nice haul. That is a huge ring man! I would have thought it was junk at first.

I was away from the computer for a few days, so I had the privilege of reading Nate first! Your finds are good, too, Bob (said while patting him on the head) .
