I've been hitting a few new sites this week...trying to get back ahead of Brett on the silver totals. ;D
I figure I need about 5 or 6 more than him before he go's hunting, just to break even again. :laughing7: The new sites weren't panning out, so I went back to the old "tried & true farm site".

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=afe8c9e655a132af213656dc4372f799&topic=258563.0

The hour and a half swinging wasn't even producing a relic more or less a coin. On my way out I tried something with my settings that I've been meaning to try but never seem to remember when the hunting starts. Without going in the boring details for all you ML guys (that could care less :laughing7: ) Its just a way to get the most out of your machine and still keep it running smooth, without chirps or falsing. All 3 of these came from one 10' sq. area that we've been over so many times its ridiculous.

Thanks & HH!


My 5th silver from this site

Nice! I know sometimes working my rig wide open pedal to the metal eliminates target separation so in the older sites it pays to dig it all if it's got a concentric coil vs. DD.

Is that how ya handled it?

Way to keep pulling keepers from that site. I guess your tinkering's paying off.

Yeah, that place has been good. Especially tonight! I'm glad I walked away with at least the token. ;D

Here's a pic of it and along side the last one from there.
