Ya know, it dont take much.

Ya know, it don't take much.

When it comes to detecting, it just doesn't take very much to save a hunt. At least, not for me.

I guess I've learned that I'm just not going to find it all in one day and that it's a lifelong thing. If I don't get something today, it's ok because I know I'll be back another day.

Today, I really wasn't looking to find a lot. I went back to the "deep" field to practice my skills some more. I KNOW this park has been hunted in the past. But, the last time out I noticed just how deep the ground was. (sic soft). Anything old there will more than likely be deep! I found a couple nice finds last time, that's all, just a couple. But, it left me with the impression that there is more here.

Anyway, I'm out, hunting for about 4 hours! Hot, humid, sticky, dodging showers. Digging the "smalls". Which meant a LOT of can-slaw. After 4 hours, I had gotten what I came for, an education. But, not much else. So, "AS I WAS WALKING BACK TO THE CAR", , I get this hit, iffy but the first couple passes kicked up to about 89. Best for the day. Here's how it unfolded:





Ahhhhhh.

Once I saw the silver, reeded edge, my day was completed.










The day was saved!



I think this used to be a key.



4 hours on a planned, "iffy" hunt? A Merc? I'm satisfied.

Then, to top it off.

Look at what my ride looked like when it showed up!



Talk about ridin' in style! LOL

Thanks for peeking!

HH!

I know what you mean about that one find saving a hunt. I've hunted for hours before and literally had nothing to show for it.... and then when you least expect it, boom!... something turns up. Congrats on the Merc.

Hey , I've had hunts where the day was saved by a humble wheat penny ! A merc. is a pretty good day in my world !

Oh my, don't get me wrong. A Mercury dime in my world is a LOT of overkill, as far as making my day. They simply don't come out very often for me.

I just meant that even a nice wheatie or even a fake ring would be enough for me to feel like I'd done well nuff.

It really doesn't take much for me to get a grin on during a hunt. If I had not found the Merc and my ride showed up like it did, I would still have been smiling. Especially now. I feel like I ought to take every car I find now and give them to the little boy from the other day.

I could live on the warmth of the smile he gave me. Would like to get a few more of those before I go.

Thanks!
HH!

Good story and a good attitude. Your not going to get it all in one day so why not learn a little along the way.
