I met up with Fred aka Waveoff for a hunt in a city park he's been hunting. As soon as my coil hit the ground I said I got a nickel here. And nickels all around it seemed for the rest of the day. Fred drew first blood when he showed me a clump with a silver rim in it. I hit a couple of deep wheaties and Fred said he had another, showed me a Merc. I said you're 2/3rds on your way to a trifecta. I got a nice high tone with numbers in the 30s on the 800 and dug my first and only silver or the day a rosie, next signal a 25-26 a charm/token that said good karma. That put a smile on my face and I hope the karma sticks. I saw Fred talking to a guy in a grey pickup and figured it was the local Barney trying to get all territorial on us. Now this guy is a renta-cop who's off duty and no business to tell us what we can and can't do. The guy tries to intimidate you,but he was wise not to get out of his truck, Fred kinda looks like an NFL line backer who could hold his own. So he left and the hunt continued. I dug a decent amount of clad and Fred showed me a seated dime he had dug. AWESOME- trifecta ! I said if you can find a Barber that would be the slam and in a old city park like this that would epic as this place has been hunted hard for years. Fred was also using th EQ 800. This one area we pulled out 30 nickels, They seemed to be right along a trail with a heavy amount of deer poop. I commented maybe the deer a dropping these nickels. I dug my first Buff fty (toasted) and Fred dug a couple w/ a V or two and a ton of clad Jeffs. All in all a great hunt, good karma coming in the way of making a new friend, adding to the silver and wheatie count and just being able to hunt in January. Life is grand. I look forward to meeting up and hunting with Fred again. HH to all Mark
