it was a pretty awesome day, found a four dime spill, three Mercs and a Rosie. Then the 43 War nickle. The spill was a slow one at first, I didn't realize that it a spill. The 1st "hole" first contained a chunk of rusty iron and I thought that was weird, it really sounded pretty good and filled it back in. then checked the hole again with the Deus and there was my sweet signal and so out plopped the plug again. a quick check with the pin pointer found a merc in the plug itself. So I took a pic and sent it to the wife (at work). filled the hole and stood up to detect again and got another hit like five inches away, same sweet sound. Another merc and another pic taken and sent to the wife. got up and got another sweet sound about 5 inches away and this time it was a Rosie. Another pic sent. Now I am pretty excited as I get yet another sweet hit about six inches away, another merc and another merc! the oldest is a 191?, the Rosie is a 48 I believe. The shovel is where the 1st hole was dug and the hole shown was the last one. Then found three nickles in a five foot area, one a 1940 and one a 43 War Nickle. I have to admit that the silver spill was in an area that I had walked thru rather quickly in the past to get to "the better" places. The pic of the merc with the wheaties was actually from a previous hunt last week (she insisted we put it in this time). This makes 7 silvers for me this month and two for her, pretty darn awesome for us. So this was like 4 hunts total with 9 silvers found on this permission this year. Gotta love this sport! DL

You better keep your wife out of that site. She will find all of the half dollars!

Best of luck to you both!

she might as well had shot a trophy buck, she is ruined now for sure. all I did with my 5 small silvers was to fuel the fire! She is hoping for me to hurry up and get the new HF coil so she can use my LF coil. it's pretty awesome to have your wife so excited about your hobby and trying to kick your butt here and there. thanks Tom
