Well it's almost 4:30 and I need to be at work by 5:00...so I'll have to make this post a short one. I didn't get to hunt last weekend because the weather was too cold for me...yes I turned into a putz after the previous week of 70 degree temps.
Anyway I headed out of town today to hunt...but couldn't hit my favorite park because they have the Christmas lights up...so you aren't allowed in until after dusk.
I met up with Deeponedge and we fought the rain pretty much all day. I did get quite a few goodies..but along with that I also got a nasty head cold.
Darrell kept whining all day about being wet and cold ...and that his machine was getting water on it. I did the manly thing ...and taped a plastic bag around my SE housing and probe box. Because of that...I ended up hunting all by sound today. I couldn't see the screen...so I had no choice.
The highlight of the day was the 1912S Barber dime down over 9"...maybe closer to 10". I really am not sure because of all the mud and water that kept sliding back into the hole once I got down to 9". I had been over this spot before a couple of weeks ago...but this time I gridded it from another direction. The Barber gave a muffled warbly silver sound...but it was blended in with some other jibberish. Even with my gain at 10...this still sounded like a very deep target ..so I began digging in the muck.
After reaching 8"...out popped an old style pulltab. Well I was cold...wet...muddy...and now ticked off. As always...I ran the probe one more time and was kindly rewarded with a screamer another 2" or so down. I scraped some more muck out of the hole as the water poured back in...and saw the glint of silver.Out popped the 1912s Barber dime.
All in all a nice day...but I seriously have a nasty head cold now.
I'm supposed to meet up with Coin Magnet and a couple of his buddies this weekend at one of their parks. He told me there have been some incredible coins come out of there in the last 15 years or so...but that it was probably the most pounded park I would ever hunt...so we'll see what happens. As long as I'm swingin' the coil...I don't care if I find anything or not. It's all about the fun and peace I feel once the headphones go on. Good luck on your next hunt...and thanks for viewing.
