Goofing around with the EXPII, Then...

[Ridley]

...the cross hair thing got pushed up and half out of the screen. I heard that flute sound and dug up this 1945 quarter. It was about 7" deep. I didn't scratch it, but I wiped it with my thumb in disbelief.

The location? An old public school near my house. CaptnSE was right!

Cheers!

Congrats, Ridley!!!! I'm very happy to see you get the deep silver!! I just knew you would be pulling more oldies out of the ground. You learned that machine fairly quickly. Faster than most.

I think you will be hooked now with that machine and continue looking for that elusive silver everyone else has passed over. I got a '50 Washington two days ago. I'll post all my silver/wheats tomorrow.

Great job, buddy!!

Captn,
I dug a wheat penny at 10" in that same area. The next target was the quarter.

That Minelab makes a lot of sounds, but the silver sound is easy to hear, so I kept the faith and dug deeper. When I pulled that silver coin out it gleamed in the moonlight.

I smiled the whole way home, thinking..."Damn! The Captn was right!"

I haven't even begun to learn the EXPII. I'm still using quickstart with the factory settings!

Thanks for all your advice!

Good deal. Yes, you are going to be digging a lot of deep targets. Poor MM will have to rely on luck and craftiness to outdo you on finds now that you have that machine.

Ha, ha, ha.
Our deal is, I find the spots, get permission, and drive Ridley to them, then HE digs the coins. Sounds pretty fair to me. Maybe I should stick to Chuck-E-Cheese tokens on the Tot Lots? At least I get to look at some nice looking mother's there, and if I get bored I can play on the swings.
I am not quiting tomorrow until I find a wilver coin! You may not see a post from me for about a week, but I'll get one.
By the way, ask Ridley who found the spot where he dug this quarter,
and his Barber quarter last week, and his Barber dime the week before that, and...........
I'm the "Field Rep' of this partnership. He's the treasurer.
Have a great weekend everyone,
MM

 

[Ridley]

MM.
You were right about that spot for sure! I'm headed back there tonight. I'll be there around 8:15. You need to come and see (try it yourself), the EXPII find wilver. It's like shootin' fish in a barrel.

Just don't sneak up behind me like you did that one time. (Yes folks he scared the *$#@ out of me at a school last month).

Thanks, but I need to rest up for Saturday, so I have a fighting chance.
I'll be kicking back at home tonight, watching a movie, drinking a few beers, and planning my strategy.
Oh wait, that was my strategy.
Good luck,
MM
