Found 5th merc, had to give it back

[Ramapirate]

We were at some friends house over the weekend in Greensboro, N.C. For funzies I broke out the md and in about 2 minutes had found 2 wheaties and a really clean '39 merc. We'd all been to Ham's Restaurant about 15 minutes before and the wives had gotten a little cocktail each, so my wife was getting all sentimental over everything (she don't drink very often). They were all standing there when I popped the coins out of the ground and my wife says "Awww, those probably belonged to (the lady that lived in the house) your grandmother, give those to her to give to her dad, he'd get a kick out of it, awwwww.
Easy come easy go. Give the 12 cents to millionaires, they need it. I felt like telling my wife to tend to her own knitting, but I just handed them over with a smile.
The upside was, they are going to take me to old properties all over Greensboro next time we are up that family members own, and I get to keep everything I find at them. They also turned me on to an elementary school about 2 blocks from their house that's been active since 1920 and nobody ever hunts it.
So it sort of balances things.
I wanted that '39 MERC!

Don't you just love it when the wife starts sharing your finds. Well as you said it balances out. Now you have the opportunity to keep what you find and a few more places to hunt. As they say ing business, "you have to spend some money to make some money". I don't know who said it but that's what I been hearing.

I would look at that as an investment. I'm sure you will find much more at the new sites....think Karma.

Ram,
Sorry to hear about your find/loss. I love a good Merc.
By the way, who wears the pants in your family? I wear the pants in mine. They are my wife's pants, but I wear them!
You'll get em' next time. Good luck on your future sites. You're getting close to my turf now, so don't come any closer. I'm having a hard enough time competing with Ridley as it is.
Great post,
MM

Glad to hear you ended up with some other good places to hunt. My ex used to give what I found away and I finally had to take her out back and shoot her. Just kidding! Way to go!

I think you'll come out way ahead in that deal...It's still a shame about the merc.

I found a nice old engagement ring about 6" deep with 3 diamonds in it on an old football field. It had to have been there since the 40's or 50's and my ex took it to wear. She showed it to some old ladies at the beauty shop and one of them said " You ought to be ashamed for keeping that ring. Somebody lost that and I'm sure they would want it back"... Imagine what would happen if I put an ad in the paper saying I found that ring. How many calls do you think I would get claiming it? Have a good one and happy hunting

Don't sweat it; you may find way better than a 39 Merc in the other sites you're given.

 

[Jack(IN)]

If thats all you had to give to get access to some old property that might yeild more silver that goes to you...a 39 Merc well spent. She might have done you a favor without knowing it!! Mercs are easy enough to pull, Barbers and Seated not as easy!

 

[Green1]

you will still miss the merc,, i know i would.......
all the best at the other spots !!!
