A Day Off

[Ill Digger]

Getting a late start because of the over night/ early morning rain we had (and needed badly!) The little lady had some errands to do. So I said I'll see ya in a couple of hours! and off I went. thumbsup01 I went back to the same park I found my silver total tying Merc at last week. It was nice and cool after the rains past which made for a nice start to the hunt. But that would soon change :rolleyes: It got hot out again which kept me under the shelter of the old shade trees again ;) I was able to find 5 more wheaties, a very surprising 1883 IH :shocked04:. As the temps were at a boil and the finds starting to slow down I was about ready to go . Wanting one more goodie for the keeper pouch (hoping for silver :drool:) I get what we all wait for. A sweet 12-47 at 6-7 inches :daydream: :drool: :smitten: I said a little prayer. If this is a silver I'm powering down and leaving! :angelic: So I dug down about 5 inches and the PP said still 2 inches to go :drool: lol so I pulled out about 3 or 4 more inches of dirt and I seen the beautiful sight of the rim of a silver quarter! <: But when I brushed the dirt away and seen the eagle in flight on the rear I said :shocked04: &quot:daydream:H yeah!! Standing Liberty baby! <: Sweet! I reached over and hit the power button and headed for the truck. thumbsup01
Thanks for lookin' & HH :groovy:

Looks like you are having a great year so far!! Did the weather break yet:huh: It's been just too brutal to get out the last few days. We just got a nice batch of rain, so hopefully the ground will loosen up! Awesome find! The SLQ is still one of my all time favs to find...and the hardest it seems!

Hey Timmy lol big congrats on that SLQ. See you tomorrow bud. HH Mike

:shocked04: Hey Brian!! Good to hear from ya!
Yeah I started out like wild fire this season. But since getting back to work the silver intake has slowed way down :(
But I surly am not complaining \:hammer: I'm still having my best season so far.
We had a little break in the weather yesterday and this morning. But it looks like we have a few more hot days in store before any real relief :rolleyes: We got about 2 inches by me and it defiantly helped. :yes:
Thanks for lookin' & commenting :beerbuddy:

Hey Brian, Nice to see ya thumbsup01

Timmy........that SLQ is a sight for sore eyes lol And that park coughed up an Indian too. You are spoiled now ;) I bet it was real nice to just get out and hunt, with the way the weather has been lately. To get some keepers, must have been extra nice :happydance01:

You know I was enjoying myself. I was out there untill I noticed I had stopped sweating :-\ That was about the time I found the SLQ <:
After that I :white:usaflag:: gave in willingly :happydance01:

Finding SLQ to break last years silver total....fantastic. And you're a man of your word, you powered down and left.

[Mudder]

Kind of partial to your find, the SLQ was my very first silver find although yours looks to be in much better shape than mine. WTG.
