I was hanging at a tota of 96 silvers for the year...so close to the 100 mark. With only a few weeks left in the year, and the busy holiday season, living in new England where you don't know when the ground is going to say no more, along with a death in the family with the funeral on Saturday....I thought I just may have to give in and still be estatic about reaxching 96. >:#
However, the funeral wasn't till 1pm, so long as I was back home by noonish, I could make it...and I sold my soul to my wife for a few hours on Saturday morning >8)...Al and I took seperate cars to the park..
I decided to hit a tree line that had produced some great keepers, but generally we avoid that area of the park...we'll it being cold out, no one was around, so I hit the area again, within a few min. BAM..1912 Barber dime happydance02...3 to go...working the back side of the tree line.....BAM 1944 Merc :happydance01:.... 2 to go...and I'm only 20 min into the hunt with a few hrs left.....Still in the area and get a 12-46..deep plug.....BAM 1918 Standing Liberty Quarter <:.....1 to go :hairpulling:... I can't decide where to go now, I finished that area....I look around a bit. I show Al what I've found...plus the wheats...he says..just wonder around...so I spend my time, kinda wondering around hot spots...nothing...about 20 min left to hunt...I was in an area I have hit numerous times and had produced some great finds, Al just happened to be a few yards from me...... I get a 12-46 signal...I dig my plug and go over it and get a 12-45 signal...I'm thinking this is probably a silver dime...I say to Al...This might be it!
.....and what to my wondering eyes shall appear...another Standing Liberty Quarter making 100 for the year :happy:
So I probably will not get out for the rest of the year >{ >:/ >:#...but I hit all of my goals and then some...it truely has been an amazing detecting year for me...and I've had a great friend to share it all with :smitten:
