Are you tired of my stories yet? OK then.
Story 1. I got booted from the second site I went to. I will try to be succinct. I had the permission from a town official to treasure hunt in a park but the guy who gave it to me was fired awhile ago. So when I was asked today if I had permission to be there, and I said yes, and told the worker who had given me the go ahead, I was asked to stop detecting, which I did. Got it? The guy was nice, a bit condescending, and his dog was pretty cool. This is important. I put my gear in the car and sat on a bench having a drink and plotting out where I was going to go next when he drove up again. He asked me when I was leaving. I asked if he was kicking me out, and he said no, but that he wanted to be sure I didn't start doing it again. I told him not to worry and laughed, but he just sat there watching me. I was annoyed. As you enter this park there is a large sign with two park rules. ABSOLUTELY NO DOGS. NO TOBACCO USE. I pointed at his dog and then I pointed at the sign. He got upset with me and said his dog goes everywhere with him and besides everybody loves his dog. I replied that I don't love your dog. It offends me that he's here, and that he's unleashed, despite the park rules. He said well the kids love him. I thought for a second and replied that I had NEVER met a kid who didn't love treasure hunting even more than dogs. Could I continue detecting? I was joking but he didn't get it. I enjoyed arguing with the guy, who was a hypocrite. It's not a great site and I only stopped in because nobody was there which is rare.
Story 2 happened at site 3. That big NRA token had me fooled into thinking it was a silver dollar for about two minutes. Reeded edge. Eagle on it. Size. Weight. A real let down when I poured some water on it.
Same old loot for me as you can see. One of the wheats is from the 20s and was deep. Still no 90% silver though I was at the right kind of place.
