Moronica, northwest of Chicago.
Detector(s) used
E-trac & Bounty Hunter Land Star
Had to go run some errands for my mom, so I threw the detector in the car, "just in case". :) After I got done, I scouted out a couple spots taking the long way home. Should I or shouldn't I - well, if I go home, I'm going to need to start putting in the new kitchen floor. If I hunt for a bit, I think I can stall on the floor for another day... ;D

So, I called WC & told him where I was and he said, "I'll be there in 20 minutes!"

Nothing but mud, clad & crap for the first 45 minutes, and then I god a good signal in this real trashy area. I scooped out a load of dirt & there she was:

She's a shiny one, too. The daylight reflecting off of her washed out the dirt shot pic. Nothing else remarkable for the rest of the hunt, but that's OK - I got my first keeper since January 7, and a one day reprieve on the floor. ;D

Thanks for checking her out & HH! :wink:
 

Awesome job bud, glad you got some swing time in, NOW BACK TO WORK!!! :whip2:
 

Floors are so overrated, anyway.

But seriously, get back to work before Kermit whips your butt really hard!

Nice merc! It sure is a beauty out there today. I have a feeling you're gonna pile up the mercs this year, and maybe even get that elusive seated...

Yep, she's a beauty alright :thumbsup: You're on your way to great silver this year :wink:

(Much better than that '64 Rosie I got in change at Starbucks when you called me :D)

Hey! I ain't no suburbanite! :o

Unfortunately I don't do too much deep-city detecting, though...

Joe
 

congrats on the merc, wtg!
 

Ain't nothing like coyotes trotting thru the backyard from the woods out here in the boonies. I look at it as being hard to get into the city, its waaaay far away. lol
 

Dave- Joe and I will go hunting for some of Capone's lost relics...guns anyone?? Old whiskey bottles?? Maybe he buried some $$ somewhere IN THE CITY where it would be safe from the clutches of coyote dodging suburbanites for a long time... :tongue3: So, Joe, how about it?? You HAVE to get out with me sometime and do some city coil swingin'!! :laughing7: :laughing9: :tongue3:
 

And on it goes...
The town coil and the city coil.

Nice shiny Neil!

Counted 9 different herd of deer today ranging in size from 6 to 12 per and a couple loners for a total somewhere in the 80's, two coyotes, one red fox and a beaver, all without ever leaving the car. Don't ever tell me there's a hunger problem in America. Not even trying to count the ducks and geese. I see way too much food walking around in the woods.

Ah to be a feral 'batts again....
 

Nice Merc!
Congrats on first silver since your nice pocket spill in January
 

Neil you need to skip out on those chores more often. Nice looking Merc! Congratulations.
 

Every time I pass the Indian Boundry Golf Course on Forest Preserve Dr I see lots of deer on the course. Coyotes are just fine, help keep the pests in check.
 

WTG Neil!! You did the right thing, called WC. Keep an eye when remodeling, my girlfriend found a 1900 barber quarter in this house. HH guys
 

Nice going!
You made the right choice there. That Merc looks like it was just dropped yesterday.
