...dime, dime, quarter, dime, quarter, dime, dime, nickel! Naaaahhhh....

That's right, it wasn't real hot today but, *I* was real lazy!


I decided to just go for a "quarter" hunt today.


Sometimes, I just need to unwind and not "detect".
Not, use the skills I've learned to discern those deeper, older targets.
Like a kid in a candy store, as it were. LOL

I was moving thru the paces and enjoying the walk and the not having to
fight to discern. Like the subject line says, I was calling my targets;
Quarter...quarter...dime....penny on top.... and I did dig a couple of those cuz they were "on top".

So, I got a nickle hit....actually said....naaaah....then figuring that it was not deep, I dug.




Yep! Allllllllllmost!! A risk of "skimming".
Fortunately, some- (ONE), told me to dig.
Better listen!! LOL
14k






Actually, a better day than this. I was pretty happy when I left so
I celebrated with five dollars of coins at a Micky-D's. LOL

Enjoy the day folks!
And thanks for peeking!

congrats on the awesome gold ring! I am usually surprised when it really is a nickle and even more when it is gold but I dig them all

I usually dig more signals than just about anybody. But, remember, I said this was a very *lazy* day for me. I went out, intending to only dig quarters and surface finds. I paid an awful lot of money for what I believe to be one of the *best* discriminators out there! Might as well get some good use out of it on a day like this.

Other times, if I dug *EVERY* signal....I might as well rent a bulldozer and just take the top layer off.

Thanks!

WTG!! Man I haven't gone on a "quarter" hunt in a long while, I miss it. Know what I'm going to do one this week. Like you I'd end up with a ring every so often, silver though. Congrats on that 14k !!!! Super surprise!!! Funny how you mentioned someone told you to dig....... strange how that happens sometimes, that inner voice that urges us to dig a target we may normally pass on. Great post. HH

Well done! Congrats!
That is awesome!

Sometimes its amazing what can happen when we get out of His way, and don't try so hard to do it ourselves!

I like the fact that it was to be a relaxing stroll! I guess He figured you needed a little "extra" cardio!

I hope you have lots of pictures of it cause thats gone! Blingie is about to roll that one to his treasure room!

And Fishy is in the top "100"!

That sir was an awesome stroll!
And you did get a Mc D's treat for yourself. ��

Thanks! Oh, and don't worry about the ring. I'm keeping it! I'm gonna have it bronzed and hang it over the fireplace!!

Congrats on the Sweet ring! Nice, and bet you enjoyed the celebration!

I have a sports field i would like to do that at but....i would have to dig literally every square inch of it, as they have used old garbage furnace waste as land fill here, and its full of metal. One of these days i will try to clear out a 1 ft. X 1 ft. area....just to be able to ground balance my detector.
I know there are goodies still there in the ground it had history. And its where i found the musket ball, standing liberty quarter, several silver rings, gold ring, and silver dimes. So yes a little more carefull attentive hunting is in order.

Yes...."careful" *is* the key word! In a place that has a LOT of garbage requires a very slow approach. A smaller coil would be helpful. The idea is to hear the "quarter" in-between the many pieces of junk lying next to it. It's tough but very possible, with a LOT of practice. Once you learn the technique, you might just be surprised. Try it sometime.
