Got Seated Today - 4/1 (1883 Dime) plus 2 IH's, ring, mexican voter ID

Hi all,
Unfortunately the last file on my video card, me finding the seated, got corrupted, so no video today. However, I do have nice photos. And somewhere at a random point in this thread, I will tell you my trick to hunting this hunted out spot (Its more or less brutish)
Anyway, I went out 3/29 and I got really cold and only found a 1911 wheat. I didn't give up, buying something that would make the task more comfortable (that and warmer temps...)

Today I spent about 3 hours out. I got 2 Indian Heads, a 1882 and a 1893. Near the end, I got a solid 12-47 that ended up being a junky, but weighty, sterling ring. I was just about to leave when I got a not so good sounding 12-43. Recovery in this area was very difficult, so every trash item took a lot of time. But this last signal was not trash -- it ended up being an 1883 SEATED!!!





I also found a mexican voter ID. IT's funny, in Mexico, not only is it a photo - ID but also a Thumbprint ID --

I wonder if it is as much an injustice to minorities to require just a photo as some would claim. I know it hurts the dead and disney characters when they vote, but come on... But the real trick is that I hunted in a creek, up to 2.5 feet deep of water. It really helped having hip waiters -- I didn't have those the first two times. It also takes care not to get E trac control housing wet and also recovery of targets takes work.

WOW,great outing Jon I can't wait to get a sand scoop now.

Ah the wonders of "creekin" in there for goodies. Good haul Jon and I'll be breaking out the CZ20 pretty soon for the same thing. It's a lot easier when it's hip mounted and water proof.

Congrats on the Seated recovery, Jon. Way to go. I detected a creek near me, but it was a little to high to detect at the time. More pain in the neck than anything else trying to keep my balance.

The balance thing was harder when I was just wearing hiking boots. The waders I got have a very flexible rubber sole, so you feel every rock you are on.

Awesome job bud, a few years ago I hunted a washout that led down to the river and found my 1st barber dime and a few wheaties further down the way.
