    First Merc and Third Silver!

    Nice morning hunt brings up my first merc and 3 silver of the year. I spent a few minutes actually looking through my mound of dirt because I heard it in there but sense I didn't have my pin pointer so I just had to dig.

    Nice 44-S merc. Hoping this year going for some permissions will net me a bit more silver than I find at cellars.
