The "MM" Maneuver!

The "MM" Maneuver!

Hi guys and gals.
MM and I went to a secret location in the mountains. We detected a few spots and wound up at an old park. I found this Merc under a huge oak tree and called MM over.
This attracted the attention of two little girls, who also came over. After seeing the Merc, MM set about to find one himself. The girls tagging along behind him.
Shortly there after, I could hear (through the headphones), the girls asking him if he found something good. His reply?
"No, but see that guy? (he points at me). " He finds the really good stuff. His detector is much better than mine".

Those girls stuck with me for the next 40 minutes. LMAO!!! It was the MM-Maneuver! He might as well have told them I had a magic unicorn under my hat!

It was a great day. We all had fun. Thanks again MM !!!

Cheers!


Ridley

No problem you lucky dog! You should know, I will try ANYTHING to get a good Merc. Next time I'll tell the kids you have LOTS of candy in your bag.
I'm glad you had a great time today, and thanks again for helping me weed whack on my property. We'll hit the old house across the river in the fall. You can count on that.

Folks, we weren't at this old park for more than 10 minutes before Ridley scored his Merc!!! Un-flippin-believable! All I got was about $3.00 in clad and one wheat.
He is like a treasure magnet.

Yes. I decided to use the mighty DFX. The Merc was 2 inches down. That park is infested with old fashioned pull tabs. I'm sure there's plenty of gold in the ground there too.

BDoo,
Ridley swears he's going to get me back for that little trick I pulled on him.
I told him I'd be willing to entertain the mother's, but he gets to MD with the kids. Sounds fair to me.
