Finally!! First hunt of 2011, scored silver.

[Fire Fighter 43]

The snow is finally melting and I had my first hunt of 2011. It was short (only 2 hours) but productive. I found a new site with a lot of promise and plenty of area to keep me busy. It is private property with a couple of picnic areas, wooded area, open fields and old cellar holes. The property has a history that dates back to the 1840's. Yes, I did obtain permission to hunt it. I hit one of the small picnic area that is about 2 acres and 80% is still covered in snow but the ground isn't frozen. I found $1.80 in clad, 5 wheat's 19, 24, 28, 29, & 44 (no D on the 24) and 2 Merc's 36 & 41. It was a good way to start off the year!!

Ah... so this is the start of the 'Garden of Eden' hunts. thumbsup01
Missed this one the first time around. From what I understand of the place... I'm guessing at least 30 silvers from here, probably more. :happydance01:
The large token... is that one of the Cocoa Pebbles dino token?
Good luck.

That's a great first hunt thumbsup01 thumbsup01 .I am envious of all the nice Merc's being posted here :envious: .I haven't found a Merc since Feb 2010 when I found 2 In one day along with a Roosie and I have found only a few Roosies since then .There will be much rejoicing if I ever find another :happydance01: .Keep up the good work ( actually your trip with Ill Digger shows me you are . :yes:
