I see your from West Virginia was this all dug in WV? When we hunted out near Ansted,WV in early 2000s this was about the typical load we got outta there and Dennis dug a OVM plate, Ansted is where the Ohio Regiments had camps and lot of the places are so hard and off the beaten path there is still load of relics around there. Good finds hopefully you will dig that second OVM! :occasion14:

All dug in culpeper co va, i had planned to detect for 6 days but the wife ended up needing a pacemaker and wasnt released from the hospital until wednesday afternoon. She decided she did not want to stay at the hoise so we packed op the camper and took off thursday morning in a snow storm. Hunted for 4 hrs 20 mins first day and found alot of items shown then. Spent alot of time trying to get my dfx and mxt to do better in the red soil, man that stuff is tough. Its not that vlf doesent work there it just all reads as junk. Finally setteled on 4x6 dd coil, 15 kh mixed mode and 5 filters. Week started off touch and go as the wife flatlined for 11 seconds and then it started on its own. She is doing Very well and almost back to normal. Had an amazing hunt and it was hard to leave to go back to work. I will be back
