Yesterday Mach 1 Pilot hit the area we have been working with a Brush Hog. What a Guy ! This really opened up some area we hadn't been able to detect before because of the high weeds. He called and wanted to know if I could come out and play for a couple hours before dark. I had been to some Minelab Training Monday and was ready to try out some new settings I had learned. I had found a piece of a big Crotal Bell and a thimble, no pics and he got that ring he posted last night. I got a decent signal but when pinpointing the detector would back away from the signal and lock onto some big iron. I dug down about 6 inches and could hear the target in the side of the hole. With the Sunray probe the E-Trac numbers were 12-46 so I called the Pilot over so he could here the signal and try pinpointing. What I was trying to show him is he needs to dig these type of signals that pinpoint away from where you hear the good tone. After both him and his son sweep the hole I carefully finished getting the dirt away and got this 1807 Largie. She's rough from being in the pasture but what a sweet find non the less. We left DeArmitt at home so we stood a chance at something good. No just kidding ;D HH Bob
