    Old park yields more clad and another two mercs

    I didn't have much time today and could only manage to get about 90 minutes to hunt so I decided to hit the old park that gave me my last two mercs. I can't believe my luck and found two more today. Only bad part is that I scratch one of them with the digger.


    Thanks for looking and happy hunting

    Two mercs in 90 minutes is an excellent run rate <: You need to find the time to grid and pound that park -- there could be quite a bit more there.

    Nice job on the Merc`s. I wish I could do that well in 90 min. The clad looks like it has been in the ground a long time.

    That's a nice return for a 90 minute hunt. I suspect that you will be doing well in future hunts at that location.

    Thank you Epi. I do seem to be in a mini streak of late and it feels strange. I hope it continues for a bit longer.

    Thank you, Randy. That is an excellent idea and I will follow through on it.

    And thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment.

    Man, you are on some kind of roll. I'd be hitting that place non stop if I were you. Four silvers in two hunts says there's more there for sure. Go low and slow and get it all! Congrats!
