Today I snuck out for a 2 hour session and left my work phone in the car. Yes I have spring fever like nobodies business.
This week I've been POUNDING an old soy bean field and learning the Equinox 600. My bucket list is simple...I wanted to dig a colonial copper. Well today that finally happened. I was in an iron heavy area and thought I heard a high tone but there was no evident high EDI number displaying. I narrowed down the area and dug a 12" plug. I got no signal from my pinpointer, so I re-scanned...the signal was still there but now hitting in the high 20's and even creeping into the low 30's here and there. Another plug was pulled from the existing hole, and this hit the grass right next to my knee. Yes it's ugly, and I may never figure out exactly what it is, but it's a colonial copper. You can clearly make out the "17XX" but not the last two digits of the year. I might even celebrate with a few Miller High Lifes this evening.
