Actually got out for some dirt digging...

[Joe G]

Went to a nearby State park yesterday and tried hitting a different area. My first target was a deep IH. Not sure of the date but I think it's a 1905 (it's pretty toasty). My next target (within about 15 mins of the first) was a well worn 1916 Merc, so I was thinking I might be into something REALLY good. Not too long after that a '42 Merc. Unfortunately, it was slow going from there with just a couple of wheaties and some clad. Found a very deep chain of some sort though... It's around 12" long and looks like might be brass; not sure. I'll see if I can get some pics of it. I've gotten 5 silver (3 mercs / 2 Rosies) out of this part in two visits. Not too bad for around hear

see ya

Supposed to really kick in tonight and tomorrow. We're looking at 10 to 14 inches of the stuff. I don't mind snow that much but it sure makes going to and from work a pain! Driving isn't bad (for me) but I sure do worry about other people. You can't believe how people drive around here. The people with 4 wheel drives always think that they are exempt from the laws of physics

Oh, saw a BIG Hummer the other day with a funny license plate... "FEED ME" I bet!
