Got out for a few hours today before it snows the next couple of days. Yippie..
I've been at this site numerous times since we found it a month ago. My buddy and I have found 4 or 5 largies, one the other day a 1833 looked amazing. I have never seen one come out of the ground that looked that good. If I get a picture of it from him I'll add it later. I have been trying all sorts of settings to try to get the most out of this site. My general settings are full tones, 12K, tx 2, sens 90, react 2, silencer -1, disc between 6.5 to 9.0, iron vol. 1 or 2.. Listening to all the iron can get mind numbing sometimes so I take mini breaks. today I tried pitch and it is hard to get used to as it sounds off on everything but iron so I have to constantly look at the scree to see what the TID's are. I found 2 buttons that i now can't locate, lol, but then I changed the tx to 3, lowered the sens to 85, and upped the react to 3. bingo! I had to go slower than normal but i really started to get in between the iron. Those little objects are a mystery to me. I think the one is some sort of button but if you have any idea what the other 2 might be just chime in please. I wonder if the fork is really old or not. It is silver plated but is easy to bend unlike lots of other silver plated silverware i have found. As you can see the KG III it really corroded but it was great to see come out of the ground. This is the first new style Crotal bell that I have found or is it a Jingle Bell? lol
