At that point, I was at 199 silver coins YTD, and was temped to walk off and try to get another one later so I could blog tonite with some silver, and blog later with a title of YTD Silver 200, but that would be irrational, and while my motto will always be Chance Favors the Ready Mind, <\/em>my secondary motto is Always Act Rationally, <\/em>and, well, if I was born with 13 fingers on each hand, 200 would mean nothing, so press on I did,\u00a0 Wouldn’t you?<\/p>\n And pressing on netted me some gold.\u00a0 (Are you kidding me?). And its some sweet looking gold too.\u00a0 Its 8.72 gr @ 14K of a chain with some religious charms. How sweet is that?\u00a0 (At this point, time to insert a pic, after so much dense text). so here is a pic of the gold —<\/p>\n Ah, that’s pretty. isn’t it?\u00a0 It is. But I’ll always be a silver guy, so press on I did for more of the shiny, with 2 silvers and a silver pendant already in hand.<\/p>\n Eventually I got my 15th or so iffy could be silver, could be ferrous sort of signal, and we don’t dig em all (that would be irrational), but we dig these, and I jumped for joy when I saw the silver rimmed edge of a merc in the tailings.\u00a0 My 200th silver coin of the year.\u00a0 Would have been nice to have a blog entry just for this coin, but we’ll take it.\u00a0 Three silver coins for the day, as well as the religious pendant, for my 200th YTD silver coin —<\/p>\n But, there’s more.\u00a0 Sometimes I write about the affected silvers I pull from the ferrous.\u00a0 Sometimes I write about the 35-50 silvers that seem to sound like ferrous,\u00a0 Today, I even wrote about a silver that could be silver, could be ferrous,\u00a0 But one thing I never do is write about the ferrous that comes out when I’m wrong, and the massive ferrous that plagues me in general (and which, is good, overall, cause I know how to deal with it, and it scares others away).<\/p>\n Well, I don’t really like looking at other people’s ferrous, and I don’t imagine too many like looking at mine, but I wanted to post it today, cause 2 of the 3 silvers I pulled were clearly ferrous affected — missed by the competition due to iron, so I figured it would be constructive to post the ferrous I dug in quest of of those silvers.\u00a0 I also thought it would be cool to post this ferrous knife as part of the collection —<\/p>\n And, of course, there’s more. Its one of my stories, after all.\u00a0 This is kinda short, and we’ll file it under double whammy. <\/em>Got a beautiful silver dime signal, opened it up, and pulled what appeared to be a beautiful gold ring (figured the silver sound was another target).\u00a0 Turns out the gold ring rang as a silver, meaning there was no silver target, and the gold ring is actually base metal.\u00a0 D’oh!.\u00a0 Give me a break.\u00a0 But, still an exciting day with alot going on nonetheless.<\/p>\n So, that’s that.\u00a0 200 silvers YTD.\u00a0 Not on last years pace, but not bad.\u00a0 The rest of the summer will likely be more time with my son, and less time detecting, so the entries, going forward, may be few and far between.\u00a0 At least I got one of my old-fashioned stories done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Haven’t gotten out much lately due to the recent holiday and its commitments, recent family commitments, and the weather.\u00a0 But I made up for it today.\u00a0 And here comes one of my stories. First was a goal to get to … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/053012a.jpg\" "\\"053012a\\"")
