This measly haul represents 4 hunts this week; one merc from Monday at my “bulk silver” site, now up to 20 silvers included that seated quarter, and a new site, a sort of out of the box field between where 2 old farmhouses were.

2 hunts at the field produced the merc, a buff, and a handful of wheaties.  Its always the sort of site you can get a big fish, tho.

Someone on a forum suggested that they no longer got excited about finding mercs.  If its not a seated or reale, forget it.

Me?  Never!  I love the experience of finding even a lowly rosie, and the hope, when you get “that sound”, it could always be something spectacular.  You’ve gotta dig the mercs to get that big fish.

As for the title, Just a Couple of Days by Tony Vigorito is an awesome book I just finished.  Its fiction, for those who read science books, but it is not science fiction.  It is also hilarious, which is rare in science books.  It is hard to describe.
