Hey folks,
Hope youāre doing well! Iāve been doing more lurking than hunting lately. Itās been a busy season at work for me lately and I havenāt been hitting the dirt at my regular pace.
My brother and I decided to meet up today. I scoped out one site early this morning which was a bust. Itās where an old school was demolished but the site has been too significantly altered since it was taken down.
My brother and I then met up at one of our old, faithful spots. Itās a permission which has produced well in the past but doesnāt put out too much anymore. Within the first 20 minutes he came running up to me to show me he had found some silver (Iāll let him post the details). I couldnāt believe it, there arenāt too many decent signals left here.
I altered my CTX today to discriminate less and I bumped the sensitivity way up looking for deep, oldies. It worked out. After finding a few wheats I had previously missed, I got a wispy, deep signal. Probably at 7ā-8ā. It wasnāt even consistently repeatable. I was in a dig it all kind of mood so I went for it. Man was I shocked when I saw a silver dime flip out of the hole and onto my drop cloth. It mustāve been deep and on edge. Pretty awesome!
Toward the end of the hunt I was trying an area that produced well in the past. I got a mixed mid-tone at around 7ā. Well, about 4ā down while digging I saw a nickel flip out of the hole and onto my drop cloth. Huh? Thatās not what I was expecting! Turns out it was a buff. That mid tone? Turns out it was just a nail several inches deeper than the buff after all.
Anyways, just wanted to encourage you all the sometimes those well-worked sites are worth revisiting, especially with some revamped settings.
Good luck out there!
