Did manage to squeak a merc out on the edge of the site, but I was struggling to find clad and wheaties, and while I don&#8217;t like those things and don&#8217;t dig them too much, they offer great tells about how well the site has been hunted in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always give a site 2 good hunts before forming an opinion.  Today&#8217;s hunt was 2.5 hours, which is a bit below the benchmark of 1.5 to 2 hours per silver, but a bit short.  I owe the site about 4.5 more hours to form an opinion, but for now, it is tabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/062022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"278\" height=\"278\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/062022.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/062022.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/062022-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to a new site today, a 30s era baseball field.
