Private permissions have been hard to come by lately so I've been hitting a local park the last few times out. First time, I did get a 44 GW, But the next couple times I just missed silver, a 65 dime, next time a 65 quarter. Each time I did get a wheatie and added to the clad coffers. So Wed, this week I told the neighbor I am trying new settings on the Etrac, now I've been over his yard probably as many times as mine, He ask if I was gonna pay his mine subsidence insurance premium from all the diggin I 've been doing. I was able to dig another .40 clad, a wheatie and I cornered a war nickle on the edge of his property. I coulda swore I cleaned him out over the last two years. Huh ? So armed with my new settings the next afternoon I was headed back to the park when I spotted one of the local mailman out of uniform talking to an on duty mailman. I said, You live here? After a few moments of conversation, explaining my affliction to him I had my first permission in a while. Not a big front yard but I had hope of a target rich environment. I could not get a repeatable signal,in quickmask the numbers, the cursor and tones just went crazy, jumping all over the place. A half dozen wheaties, and a Merc dime --.27 clad-a few cool finds, a matchbox, a US lapel army pin, not bad for a couple hours. Back to the park today I got 2.49 in clad a couple wheaties, and silver # 42. Laying flat about seven in. down was a 1950 Rosie. hehll ya, I'll take it. A couple weeks back I spied an empty lot, tax records showed an investment firm held title. I stopped and ask permission,explaining I'm a history hunter, the receptionist took my number and said she would pass it on. A week goes by, nothing, I decide to do a follow up call. Again they take my number. Yea OK I get it. Wed., I'm in the neighbors yard, my phone rings, its the girl from the investment firm, her boss wants me to stop in and sign a contract on any finds I get. Wo-wo, I explained, miss I am hobbyist, not a professional treasure hunter- I scratch on my hands and knees for old coins and tokens, now if I would find the lost treasure of the Inca's I would be happy to split it. Anything historical I keep, coins-tokens-buttons and such. After that I figured won't hear from them. Well tonight I get home and I have a voice mail, she said I have good news but I want to talk to you. Huh ? Maybe she lost something, in need of MD service, Maybe. Well I'll have to wait till Mon. to find out. To all of you that have made it through my post I wish you and you're family a Blessed Christmas and good forture in 2018. And all of you who ordered an Equinox a speeedy delivery. HH Mark
