Metal Detecting - 4 Silver - 2 IHC - 1 V Nickel - 1 Mercury

Nicely done! Keep ‘em beepin’, and put the coil to the soil!

 

You almost inspire me to dig the old Garrett out of the shed, dust the cobwebs off man and machine both, and haul my morbidly obese, short-winded, bad-kneed carcass out to those parks and sidewalk strips in Old Town again, now that it’s nice and cool.

Almost.

If I knew for certain I'd get "silvered", I'd be out there this morning, despite the physical difficulties I would definitely have if I resumed digging nowadays. But Old Town Brunswick, Georgia parks and NYC parks are not created equal in terms of silver yields.

There's still plenty out there, though... and I still dream about it every time I drive past those stately old Victorian homes...

 

This was a fun December outing in Old Town, 13 years ago... *sigh*

(Very longwinded article, as I wrote stuff back then.)
