Finally found a window to get out

[twistidd]

I haven't been able to get on to T-Net lately because life is crazy...suffice it to say, none of these beautiful days we've been having have been huntable since I've been at work a lot working on a major major issue affecting the entire food industry. When I saw that this weekend was going to be crappy, I threw my arms up in the air and asked, "WHY?? WHY?? WHY??" with tears rolling down my cheeks. lol, well, ok, maybe not, but I did realize that I had to put aside a few errands and get in about an hour before the snow came.

I headed out to a familiar spot after work yesterday and began to sweep a most trashy place (not the Trash Pit). This is the place I have found wheaties and silver before so I figured it'd be my best bet. I was particular to which signals I wanted to dig because I was wearing my work clothes and wanted to keep them as clean as possible. I wasn't finding much, not even clad, just a few deep peices of junk. Finally I hit on a wheatie signal and dug a '44 at 6 inches. About a foot away another similar signal, dug down and saw a silver reeded edge. I let out a long exhale and retreived the '43-D merc. Later, I got another wheatie at 8 inches, a '38. Then I left because it was getting dark and COLD very fast (was only wearing a t-shirt).

It only figures that every weekend so far has been crappy! I wanted to get out today LAST week, but figured it probably wouldn't happen. Hopefully tomorrow won't be so bad. Let's all hope.

Merry Hunting all,

Joe

WTG, Joe!!!

Glad you got out! That Merc is gorgeous, as most Mercs are!

Don't fret about not getting out - I got out 2 or 3 times this week and didn't get any silver...

Glad you got out Joe! That was a short but productive hunt. I had days off this week and Friday for me was 7 hours of being skunked... We'll have better Saturdays coming soon.

Started snowing here about 3:00 a.m. Didn't have a window to look out of! Lowbatts cruiser took a thermo-dump and it wound up being the morning project.

I was seriously considering taking a 50 mile or so trip south just to get wet and still detect. Would've only been nicer if the car broke bad somewhere down on 47....

You lucky dawg!
Nice hunt!

I'm big into a "maybe Monday" mindset this weekend. Even contemplating the schoolyard out back.

Nice silver. I went out for about 5 hours got nothing but junk...but it was nice out.

Looks like next week it will be better.

Nice finds Twistidd, mercs are always great. I sometimes hate those little short hunts,for me anyway, its like im going just to go, no thought involved. If i know im going to be hunting for a while i can get into a rhythm sort of, its like '' be the detector... be the detector" but finding good stuff like wheats and mercs makes any hunt good ken.
