Thanks jimbob

Bryce,
You Da Man!!!!!
Congratulations! It really couldn't happen to a more deserving guy!
Reading your post I got excited, and laughed my butt off too. "Yeti"?, What a great nickname.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again,"You are an artist with the Explorer."

I've not been on for a few days over the Memorial Day weekend. Came on to catch up a little, and post my weekend finds.
Seeing this post was the most welcome thing. I am truly happy for you. I think your mom is up there having a smile. You know she pointed you toward another special merc!

Best Wishes!

Mark

Thanks for all your kind words Mark. Mom is with me always.
If you are ever fortunate enough to meet the Yeti...or unfortunate enough I guess ....you'll figure out in about 5 seconds exactly why I named him that.

Wow! great find. My husband found 3 but no D's. How sad is that?

Alll the 1916's I've ever found had no D's either...until now.
That's what makes this hobby so great.

W-O-W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great hunt...SPECTACULAR MERC!! The odds of your finding the Queen Mother of all Mercs is about the same as being hit by falling meteorite!!!! BRAVO, MY LUCKY FRIEND!!!!!!

Larry

Thanks Larry. I hope the metorite doesn't find it's way to me

Nick...who woulda' thought brother...that after driving through the park traffic jam for 45 minutes...we'd end up finding the spot we were looking for...and all this would have came about

I blame the YETI ... ... The Damn Paparazzi & gaulkers ... They never seen a YETI ...

I am just happy to say I held this righteous coin in my hands ...

Do you still have the napkin I gave you to wrap it in ...

Mail it back to me ... I wanna put it on EBAY ...

Nutin But Luv Bro ~ Nick

I'm glad you got to hold it your hands too bro...otherwise I might have clanked it off the shovel or threw it again
Thanks goodness you held it...you were the only freakin' dude who could READ THE DATE
My eyes are bad...and the Yeti's...well ...I need say no more

The napkin... I do still have it...but it can't be on the bay. It will be kept as a momento of the special day
Gotta' get some sleep now bro. Have a good one

Awesome find! Congrats on Banner! If I had found it, it would have just gone in with all the others- I need to learn a bit about key dates...

That was one great story and I almost felt like I was there with you. Thanks for the hunt! Very good finds too! I have been on a few good outings like that with my hunting buds but never scored so good. Great hunt! Monty

Bryce,
Oh my Gawd!!! Nice freaking find. You earned it brother!!! You have inspired me to not give up on learning this Explorer. I wish I could hear that warble you are talking about. I definitely need to start digging more deep signals and discovering what this thing is telling me sometime.

Enough about me though..........Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
