Jack Hammer!
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
In my early days, I formed a habit of calling my shot First, to learn my machine. Then, sometimes when I get too lazy to "dig em all", I'll do my own discriminations. Knowing full well that I'll be skipping good things too. But, that's what lazy is all about.

Today I was in a place of many trips. I already knew there wouldn't be much finding. So, I was a little more attentive. A good thing!
OMWBTTC, I got two hits very close together, in the same sweep. ( That's one thing I really appreciate about the AT-MAX. It does separation of signals *VERY* well!)

In that sweep, I heard the grumble of iron AND two separate minor hits. The hits were insistent at about 51. Typically, what I call nickle/tab hits. Could have skipped but they were both a little too insistent.

In this place they are almost always pull tabs. Soooo....I made my call "Pull tabs". But, I dug them anyway. The first one? A pull tab. I said, "I might as well get the other one out of the way too."

This was the 2nd hit......

Barump bump...........🫨😳🙄🙃

The rest of the day wasn't too shabby either. Even had an old friend show up!

All in all, a very nice Fall day walk!

Thanks for peeking!

That's an awful pretty pull tab. You just never know til you dig it up... :icon_thumright:

You did well.👍
 
You are doing outstanding. Thanks for sharing with us
 
Well. There was still a silver quarter in the wild. There's the proof positive right there by golly.

BTC hits Have made me almost drag a detector at hunts ends a couple times. Regardless of the results.
My first Indian Head Cent was a couple feet from asphalt I was parked on in a pounded park.
Pounded since the 60's kind of pounded.

Foil is Gold. Tabs are Gold. Lead is Nickle. Nickle is Lead. Or at least the one I don't dig probably is what I think it isn't.

Congrats! Nice hunt.

Treasure is *NEVER* where we think it is. 🤔
