    Heat, Humidity, And A Bit Of Silver

    I was able to get in about three hours of detecting late this afternoon after the rain stopped. It was fun getting out, but the heat and high humidity were tough, even in the shade. Anyway, I did manage to pick up a couple of silver dimes, one ugly Indian Head cent, a silver ring, and five wheat cents.

    Nice handful of keepers Angel.
    You have been on quite the silver run lately. Congrats.

    My detector has been giving me some snarky looks lately. I think it feels abandoned.
    We should be able to rekindle our relationship this week. lol

    Keep the silver run going. thumbsup01

    You challenged the elements and were rewarded for your efforts.

    Three pieces of silver, an IH and 5 wheats would be considered an excellent outing for most of us. WTG

    The heat and humidity here in the Northeast were terrible yesterday. You deserve everything you found....and then some. thumbsup01
