It's Getting Harder And Harder To Find Silver

[tabman]

I started detecting this particular site yesterday but the leaf blowers made detecting unbearable so I left and came back today to finish up. I've hit this site before and found silver but I didn't really give it a good going over because I was in a rush.

Today I worked the search coil slow and precise and dug even the iffy targets. I managed to find 16 wheat pennies, 3 Mercury dimes, and a Memphis transit token. I would have stayed longer but my neck was beginning to hurt from constantly looking over my shoulder and when I realized that I didn't put my gun in my pocket this morning I got the hell out of Dodge.

Nice Finds !

I would still consider finding 3 silvers in one day to be a successful one.

Why were you nervous detecting where you were?

 

[cdickrun64]

Yeah.....a gun?

Nice finds Tabman. 3 Mercs in one outing is a pretty good average.

Looks like a great place to hunt!

Your gun should be like the American Express card; "Don't leave home without it!"

Yep...

Sounds like a place I hunted recently, kinda takes the fun out of it when your constantly looking around to avoid getting mugged! Nice finds!

Nice finds!

Nice finds! Nice trio of Mercs! Congrats! There's a park in our small town that we call heroin park due to all the users that go there and shoot up. A couple times I got the hell out fast when a couple of them started eyeing me and the detector up.

Thanks, Everyone! A lot of people don't know that Memphis isn't far behind Chicago when it comes to shootings. There are some areas of town that the police won't even go without backup. On a good note, not many of those areas have been detected. Thankfully, I live in Germantown which is just outside of Memphis. From my house to where I do most of my detecting, it's about a thirty-minute drive. Overall, most of the areas that I detect aren't all that bad during the daylight hours, but from what I've been told it gets pretty rough after the sun goes down. A lot of good people live in those bad areas but they can't afford to move so they just have to endure and hope for the best. Several of those now bad areas were super nice areas to live when I was a kid and lived there. Oh, how things have changed. Every major city where the Dems have been in power for any length have become outhouses.
