Al and I have been in a bit of a dry spell....as you may have noticed from my lack of posts....for weeks. I've also been extremely busy having to work, so I have not had the time to get out, plus my car has been in the shop for almost a month now...and now I'm sounding like a country song.
After a day with the family, I called Al up to see if he wanted to head out for a bit on the 4th. We didn't have much time so we decided to hit a local park that we have pounded, and I have pounded over and over. However, I had crept out a couple days earlier and found several wheats in an area that I had hit so many times it wasn't funny. So I figured there had to be something there.
Al got there before me and was parked on the other side of the park, and I went right to the area I had dug the wheats to go over it again. Wasn't long before I had another wheat in my special pocket. I met up with Al and he showed me the Merc he had recovered :envious: Now I was feeling the pressure. Iworked my way up to an area he and I had both found silver dimes months ago. Working it...working it. Got a very bouncy signal, but it would bounce to 46. Iffy, but I dug. Pulled my plug, put the pin pointer in the hole, got a signal, retreived it.....nail. Got another signal, retreived it...nail...no other signal in the hole. Checked the plug...signal...recovered...1964 Quarter <:
Our curse has been broken
On the way back to the car got a clad 2009 dime...I consider this a keeper due to the low mintage
