ANOTHER HUNTING BUDDY MISTAKE

[MrMikeJackie]

My buddy did it again. He calls me over and says "yo, pass your machine in this spot and tell me what you think. So I did, a zinc penny spill right at the surface, about 6-7 of them I said. He says I thought so and walks away! I'm like are you kidding me? You must be rich bro! He says their yours if you want them. I remind him of the clad dime/ silver thimble episode and he said you can't get me twice. So I reach for my pro-pointer and remove all the zinc pennies. Notice I used the word "remove". I then get up and swing my coil, no more zincs but a nice 86-87 quarter signal at 4 inches. Guess what? A 1934 Washington. I won't hear from him for a few days.

Do you know how many little silver rings act like a copper cent? Your buddy deserves to have that happen, lol!

The first time he screwed up was a about a month ago. He passed up a clad dime hit at 3 inches and he let me dig it. It was my first sterling silver English thimble at 5 inches. Boy was he pissed, this time he was even more upset. Oh we'll, he should've learnt the first time.

I have a buddy who I have mentored.He already had an mxt but virtually zero real sucess when we started hunting together.I was really creaming him on the first few hunts and he was getting,well,not happy about it.We left our mountain during the winter to hit a soccer field below freeze line and what do you know,I nail a 14k white gold coctailer.At this point the whinner is acting like a little spoiled kid who didnt get two bucks for a tooth under his pillow.

I had had it.I'm like as cool as anyone I know...but dam...the whinning had me tilt.In my truck,burning my gas driving back towards the grade to our mtn. I was lecturing him about when its time for you to hit you will.the whole patience speech we all know.

a short cut my gps suggested took us through a neighborhood in the high desert I wasnt familiar with.I saw a super small little neighborhood park with no one in it and dared him to"shut the ^&%%# up and hunt for ten minutes.10 feet inside the gate he gets a rockin signal on that obnoxious sounding mxt....bam...two 925 rings in one hole.they were like dolfins,a momma and baby....a set.

he now totally gets it.Is still working on his whine...but heck I bring crackers to go with it.He has found many good finds but to this day swears I'm,"so %^$#@*& lucky.lol...I just out hunt the crap out of him because I have confidence and a good attitude.Too funny
