3/4 groove stone axe, made with quartz hammerstone, and no modern tools. I think I did good one this one.

Change of plans. we are FINALLY going to Perryville tomorrow! Instead of relic hunting though, I found a nice antique shop that sells relics picked up from after the battle, so I'll do that instead. I heard from a veteran relic hunter that Perryville has been picked clean, and I likely wouldn't find anything with the machine I have now. Just one more reason to get an Equinox!

My Hotchkiss shell should be here tomorrow too.

I love it when someone tells me a spot is "picked clean"... heh

Two things immediately cross my mind...

1. They are not me. :)

2. They don't want anyone else hunting that spot. :P

I believe you too. My detector just won't do it as good as some of the newer ones. Good reason for an Equinox...

That whites is a good detector... you want to find things with it ?

Run in pinpoint mode.

hmmm wait.. I cant remember... does that unit have trigger ? ? ? (toggle)... ?

If memory serves the setup is a lot like the IDX I had years ago that I donated to my girl when I met her *sheesh been over 13 years now :"/

It has a trigger, which I assume is pinpoint mode. It had problems with it last year, so we took it to a guy who fixed it, but apparently he didn't too well of a job. I can't complain, I have found things with it, and it's darn sure better than walmart detectors, but there is always that longing for something better....Equinox.

RR... run that cord straight away from coil... move slow... sweep low and slow... crank up volume with threshold to what I call mosquito level.

Stay scraping soil lightly... move in circles even if change in sound.

Not sure if this will help... but try it.

Gotta go to bed now. Awesome day tomorrow! I'll be taking all of my camera equipment, so you should at least see some pics, maybe video.

Goodnight. See y'all at 4:00am!

Do you think the last 4 of the 11, 1715 are Spanish treasure fleet ships? After playing the World of Warships on Apknite, I suddenly think 7 of the ships of the are off the coast of fort pierce and Vero Beach in Florida and have had some treasure found in them, where do you think the last 4 are and do you think they will ever be found?

Our real expert Tom is on vacation. He'll be back probably the first of next week.
