A first for the year -- Walker (17-s) plus 2 dimes (1/4): Video included

[p2c]

Hi all,
I started doing videos last year, but after a couple lost my charger and then when I found it, I'd either forget my camera or forget to record if I had it. Trying to start the year off right (First get some silver/ Second Record).

I had a good 3 hour hunt. Took me about an hour, but I got my first 2012 silver -- a 18 's Merc. I forgot to tape that one. It was the most text book sounding signal. When I swung over it, I knew it was both a dime and silver by that sweet sound. It was probably about 7-8 inches. 2 1/2 hours in, I hit the half. Prior to digging it, it sounded like it was either a quarter or a weak can-lid and came up solid 12-46/47. I thought it was a quarter but felt only 70% by how it sounded. I was surprised to see a half pop out at probably 6 inches. After digging it, as the video shows, it was 12-42 Last target, on the video, the swings gave a rather clean sound, but before I was filming it was bouncing all around between silver quarter to Iron falsing sounds, was 12-47 but ended up being a rosie Did start 2012 off right Enjoy the video and pix ...


I'll add this was a first/ Walker check
