- duh...duh... DFX
Well, I got out for a bit less than two hours today while my son had his pitching workout for his baseball team. I stopped at a middleschool that has been good to me and Mirage in the past. This is my first time hunting there with the DFX. I am running a program from JerDFX (thanks Jeremy!) and outside of a few tweaks for ground mineralization, I gotta admit I like the way it works!. I find myself still hunting quite a bit in DC with the pinpoint locked on and then switching to discrim once I have found a target and getting an ID (reminds me of how I hunted with my ACE...only THIS machine WILL hold a great threshold tone in non-motion)
I ended up with 5 wheaties, the oldest being a 1920, a 1948S Rosie, six clad dimes and a few mems and what looks like a dropped small cal. lead ball. As I walked back to my car and right before the giant snow mounds on the edge of the parking lot I got what the DFX thought was another dime hit. Thank God the ground was softer there as it ended up being a real nice silver ring with a small turquoise stone (slightly bent but not cracked)
All in all a great way to spend a little time. A few birds were singing and the temp was 48deg...a far cry from the frigid conditions I have been hunting in lately. Still, I left quite a few targets in the ground as the earth was still frozen solid in spots.
A wheatie from the muck
Another wheat...the 1920 it ended up
Total finds

HH all!
