Best Day This Year - I Found A Garrett ProPointer

[tabman]

It was mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I worked my tail off for hours looking for some silver coins today and kept coming up short. I was finding nothing but wheat pennies, a couple Canadian pennies and some clad coins. It was time to try another part of town to see it could unearth some silver, because I sure didn't want to go home empty handed.

Upon arriving at the new site, I pulled out my Nokta Fors CoRe, my finds pouch, my digger, my knee pad, but I couldn't find my Garrett Pro Pointer. I tore my SUV apart looking for it, but to no avail. Panic struck, I realized that I must have had left it at the last site when I was loading up. To make things worse it was at a heavy traveled site and easy for someone to see.

I loaded up and raced back to where I left it, which was about 6 miles away in heavy traffic and I was catching every traffic light. When I turned onto the street and turned around I saw it laying on the street next to the curb where I had parked. Thankfully no one got it. I was a happy camper!

By the time that I recovered my pin-pointer the day was almost gone, but I still wanted some silver coins, so I decided to hit another site. Right off I found a Mercury dime and shortly there after I nailed 1923 Standing Liberty Quarter right in the middle of the yard. It was shallow and giving a VDI number like it was a clad quarter. I heard that a SLQ will do that.

I needed another silver coin so I headed to the back yard and went right to the old clothesline where gold rings and silver coins are likely to hide. First sweep, I got a sweet soft audio tone and VDI number of 87. I knew it was a silver dime before I even dug.

I wanted more silver and it was a BIG backyard, so started my grid search. I worked it and I work it, but I couldn't pull another silver coin, so I decided that 3 silver coins is enough for anyone and headed for the house. There's no need to be greedy.

Gotta keep tabs on your pin pointer LOL Ive lost mine twice once I had left my hunt site and noticed when I got home went back took about one hour to find next time I dropped it within the first 30 mins of my hunt took an hour to find I hunt a lot in wooded areas. That's a great hunt I wish there were more silver in my area good job Thanks for the post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised that when you got back to the parking area, it wasn't filled with swat teams, crowd control and hazmat suits! If somebody saw that "thing" lying there! LOL

Thanks Everyone! I'm going to watch a little TV, and rest up for tomorrow. If I feel like it I'll be out swinging for silver again in the morning. My Nokta Fors Relic is being delivered tomorrow and I'll have another detector to chase silver coins with.

I lost my pinpointer hunting in South Carolina- found it after 1/2 an hour of backtracking. The tether cord broke in tall bushes I was pushing through. Now I have a tether on my pinpointer and XP Deus control box- both from Detector Doodads. Nice day of hunting! 3 silvers is something to be happy about.

Lost my pointer in the surf the other day and, luckily, detected it as it floated by! Also recently met a fellow detectorist who said he found a pointer in the surf. Watch those pointers - a better holder w a lock my be needed.

Hope the owner rewarded you!

We've all been there temporarily misplacing a tool. I left mine on the bumper last fall. Drove off from home to go detecting and realized what I done a few miles down the road. Turned around expecting at any moment to see a crushed pinpointer in the road. Got all the way to my driveway and nothing! Thinking it was picked up I go inside the garage and grab my spare. Approach the back of the truck and there is my pinpointer still on the bumper where I had left it! I couldn't hardly believe it.

Around here 3 silvers in a day of park hunting is an outstanding hunt, so good job!
