Hello Friends!
On my last three detecting trips, I've only been able to detect about 6 hours total due to the humid weather and my stiff/strained shoulder and chest muscles. I remained determined to strike at least one silver coin on each trip to extend my consecutive silver coin streak. I'm happy to say that my streak remains alive at 15 straight hunts with the SE Pro coil.
On my 13th trip last week, I squeaked out 1 Rosie from a heavily pounded area, and on my 14th trip last week, I managed 4 silver dimes from an extremely pounded area...I didn't expect to find that many, and was very ecstatic at the end of the day. Today, I went back to a section of park that I last hunted over a month ago. It was very humid outside today, and I was hoping for just one silver coin. On my last dig of the day, I managed a '47 Rosie....Phewww!! That was close. Before I dug the Rosie, I dug a southwestern style silver ring with turquoise inlay (no markings inside), along with a heart pendant that has some scripting/handwriting etched on it. I can't read the last few letters though. So, all in all, I managed a few more silver to add to my collection, while keeping my consecutive silver streak alive! 
On to #16!!!
Thanks for looking.

Yes, it's luck that your coil will swing over the exact spot where a good find is, but very little luck is involved in the ability to hear/dig that target to make your recovery. Nothing is going to make you consistently find the deep, old coinage than putting in the hours in the field, learning your machine well, and having the passion/patience/persistence/confidence to find what you are looking for.
, you are really out doing everybody, great. Like I have said many times before, you never cease to amaze us, great coins and a cool ring to boot.

, huh?
