Silver pocket spill, the lady that got away, and TNET meeting for first time!

Bushido Dude · Oct 25, 2010

So ive been talking to MUD(S.W.A.T) for awhile now since we are in the same neck of the USA and have similiar stomping grounds. We have tried to meet up in the past to detect a boyscout camp by him I had permission to detect, but things never panned out. Well last week a close friend of mine asked if i would accompany her on a drive to his town about an hour away. I gave him a call to give him a heads up and we ended up meeting at a local park that dates back to the Rev War. I would just like to say it amazes me how you can meet people for the first time but feel like you already know them fairly well with the advent of the internet. We went to town on the park that he has worked over in the past and has pulled some nice silver out. About an hour into the hunt i pulled a nice little 1942 merc from about 3 feet from the bottom of a nice little maple tree, 1941....but after i got home that night it could not be located. Last I saw it was in a small ziplock bag in my pouch and wasnt there when i got home, but i was pulling it out alot to take a look and i think i might have dropped it

oh well some kid will find it in the ziplock bag and think its the coolest thing ever (hopefully another treasure hunter born). My best find for the day was a 5 rosie pocket spill 1946,1947,1954,1957,1961-d. Mud watched over me as i called it as a silver dime signal and man were we pumped to watch one come out after another and the frantic search for another in the hole after the first few kept coming out. One crusty wheatie, no date yet, a Namco token, and exactly 2 bucks in clad.....not a bad few hour hunt indeed but def more cool to meet another fellow TNET'er for the first time...hopefully more hunts to follow! Good luck everyone and Happy Hunting!!!
