Beat the rain!:garrett:

Checking the weather early this morning it appeared there might be a good three hour window before the forecast of heavy rain set in. Shot off an email to Chris and we hooked up at one of our old parks. I've grown to dislike when this happens, but upon firing up the A T Pro about ten feet out from the car got a nice 82/83 reading at 4" and popped a 36 Mercury right off. Although it's nice to have a silver in the water bottle right off, often for me it seems, I don't get another. The other Merc., a 39 I dug yesterday. About midway through the hunt dug the 925 marked silver medallion that appears to have tangled with a lawn mower. Dug 2 pieces of lead of which, 1 appears to have been fired. I love finding round balls. For me, the prize of the day was the large skeleton key. And it was my last target as the rain had just started. It was one of those "should I or shouldn't I" dig signals. It was mixed, scratchy tones, but I knew it had some depth so dug it. Glad I did. Nice green patina all over it. Not a bunch to show, but maybe what there is will help you northern diggers with your withdrawals. !!" coil and running in Pro Zero with max sen. HH jim tn

Thanks for the fix Jim! You're right, we're snowed-in, iced-in, and rained-in. Depending on you Southern boys to show us your finds. Great hunt you had there. Keep up the good work.
 
Nice diggin there, lovin the key, something about them old ones that the eye just loves to look at. It's rain, freezin rain, wet snow, ice pellets all in a big mix here, 2 days now and still another for tomorrow they are sayin. So Monday's the day to get back out up here. Oh ya it'll be cold but always worth the time out spent. HH

Nice hunt. I like finding silver fight off - everything else is gravy after that.

It does take the pressure off.

Good diggings as usual, Jim! Love that skeleton key. The round ball is a nice find, too, and the Mercs, well, who doesn't love seeing them looking up from the hole! :super:
 
I REALLY L-I-K-E that SKELETON Key also!! Looks like YOU R-E-T-I-R-E-D Your F-75LTD!! Hope YOU & the FAMILY have a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS, & a Very HEALTHY/
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!! Les Robinson.
 
Les, the LTD is still in the stable resting. The A T is just so darn hard to put down. It really has been good to me. Merry Christmas and a great new year to you as well. HH jim tn
 
WTG on the silver and the key, Jim. You're finding lots of good targets. Those Mercury dimes are my favorite, but that's only because I haven't found any Barber or Seated dimes yet. It rained all day yesterday and I wanted to get out in the rain or go dirt fishing today, but the old body couldn't do it. Saving all my strength and pain tolerance for the water. HH.
