Went out today for a 2hr hunt, wasn't expecting to but just had a hunch. :icon_pirat: The half was a bouncing signal going from iron to coin, iron to coin, iron to coin. I couldn't even pinpoint it so I just guessed where the center was an dug my plug thinking that it may be a dime with a nail next to it, boy was I supprised when I say just the silver rim sticking out of the plug, I was so excited that I had to call Watercolor about my find!!! Everything except for the 58 wheatie was a bouncy signal, if you want the goodies you have to dig them. :icon_pirat: Happy hunting everyone!!!

All the easy silvers are drying up, now it takes some skill/luck/diggin junky signals to get the goodies. :icon_pirat:

Oh my God is right- how in the hell was that thing missed??? You know damn well I know where that is. lol.

What a shock. I cannot believe that huge honker was missed. Imagine all the dimes that are masked out there!

Damn.

My 100th post... appropriate to be commenting here, these are the videos I watched that encouraged me to get an ace 250 and start hunting again after I toyed around with a cheap metal detector years ago. Thanks for takin us on your hunts Kermit! And congrats on the big silver! TGuy - Ted
