    Skipping out on work and finding some silver

    I have not posted for awhile...actually haven't been detecting in awhile >:# Al started a new job that keeps him on the weekends, and I have several projects that have been keeping me away too. Well, Al got a day off, so I skipped out of work a few hours early (which I'm still paying for)...we met up at our favorite park that has been VERY good to us.

    I detected for about 3 hours. In my first pass I hit a buffalo and a liberty nickel....by the end of the day, I had managed 2 Mercs, 1 silver Roosie, 2 Liberty Nickels, a Buff, and 6 wheats, and a bit o' clad.

    It was good seeing Al, good to get out , and great to find some silver......it's been awhile since I've done the silver dance happydance02

    Nice finds Rob. If you had stayed in work you wouldn't have gotten those silver coins. Staying in work means you are not getting silver coins. Maybe you should quit work and just get silver coins. It would be more fun, but probably not very profitable. Better not quit. Congrats on those silver coins anyway.
