first land hunt in awhile - in water you use different muscles than land hunting
I use a long handled scoop in the water - but on land I use a knife and kneel down for almost every target - lots of ups and downs
I got a large relic hunt coming up and have to get in shape for long hours on land I use a long handled scoop in the water - but on land I use a knife and kneel down for almost every target - lots of ups and downs
went to a small field that gets pounded - but over the last few yrs Ive still been able to get smalls
after about an hour I had a few small pieces of slaw and tiny pieces of lead and other metals - heart breaker was signal
that went off as an 81 on XLT which is in silver dime range but have had a few coppers ring off round that too
- dug down 7 ins. - saw a disc and thought I had a coin or a dandy - saw edge was silvery - got excited
wah wah - aluminum weights and measures disc
I went to an area of field where ive gotten seated half dimes and 3c pieces - a friend has also gotten small silver here
including a 3 pence tree coin - I got a 64 on XLT which is usually a penny - dug down and had it out of the hole - soil was
little muddy in this area so pulled pinpointer out - got signal and push soil around and saw small rim of a coin -
definitely not a penny - thought I might have another seated 1/2 dime - plucked it up and gave a rub - it was silver but mud had
dried on it and I could not make out anything - pushed crude off one side with gloved thumb nail and saw shield crest and
pillars - YES! 1/2 real - happy I went out - couple of buttons I think are 1600s - couple 1800s...spoon handle piece
I believe is late 1600s early 1700s - musket balls I believe are older ones
Guys I believe that hammer here - fly and try covering too much ground at once - plus they crank discrim. and I believe that is
why they miss the smalls (ive gotten more 1/2 reales from this field over 20 yrs than any other spot plus some cut silvers)
- Im just glad they leave something good for me
