Well guys I was trying different Modes in my F75 the other day, so today I went to a spot were I found a 1897 O Barber dime semi key date. I went with the F2 tones and JE mode for the speed recovery. You know I concentrate on deeper targets between the trash for old silver but this was one of those rare occasions when I got a SOLID 44 hit at 2”. Now I never check tab vdi’s signals because I get them anyway, but this one was different it hit 44 solid 5 sweeps in a row, not 43-44 not 44-45 but 44 so for that reason I instinctively went for it even at just shallow depth amongst the pulltabs and there it was, the rare occasion I got a GOLD RUSH!! 4.4 grams of 14k Men’s Art Craved wedding ring. I have found them but not often gold lady lucky shines on me. Great feeling IMG_2333.JPG IMG_2334.JPG

I would literally die. That’s a promise lol

I am soooooooo tired of "pull tabs in the park", (hey, that sounds like a movie or a song) but I just can not pass them up, and Truth has just shown us why. Nice find there Truth, sounds like you earned it. Also a P.S. to "Waterscoop", keep those photos coming that you post, I so enjoy them.

I've only dug 6 gold items and every one of them had a solid target ID number.

That’s the true if you can just control yourself on the iffy’s and not kill yourself going up and down for trash makes digging a pull tab signal (GOLD) worth it.
