I knocked on the Reverund's door around 8:30. He remembered me and said go ahead, knock yourself out. Three hunts here with multiple silver on each hunt. See the pic showing how ugly the silver is coming out of this Hellacious Churchyard. It's very acidic soil with some Memorials almost as thin as dimes. Not sure why it eats em up. Had to do alittle electrolysis to somewhat bring em back. Also five garbage wheats. Crazy day with having to do two detector repairs. First my coil connector was wobbly and shorting out. Went home took it apart and reinsulated the connections with a glue gun. Put it all back together and went back for a couple more hours when the musky died on me again. I was done anyway. Came and now found one of the battery terminals pushed all the way inside the machine. Took it apart, resoldered the wire to the terminal and repaired the loose terminal. Good as new.

Very awsome finds. I've had those days. But I wasn't close to home, so I had to play McGiver and make the repairs if I could on the spot.

Crazy soil indeed. I've never hunted another site that has soil like this. When I first hunted there two years ago I found 7 silver that all looked like clad.

:icon_scratch: Wonder why that is? Churches normally take great care of those areas...Do they put down fertilizer for the grass? :read2:
