I detected late this afternoon for a little over two hours and scored with two more mercury dimes. I still had about 30 minutes to detect before darkness settled in when my alkaline batteries ran out on me. I quickly walked back to the car and then noticed that I had forgotten to bring my bag holding the spare batteries. 8/ A bit disappointed, I headed back home, but it was drizzling by then anyway, so that dried the tears. lol
The two mercury dimes bring my total to 957.
HH!
