I headed out this morning to try a new place that's in the shady part of Memphis. Halfway there I realized that I didn't have my gun with me, so I decided to go back to a place that I had already detected before. There wasn't much left, but I did manage to get my search coil over a deep Rosie dime with my modded Cibola.

On my way home I drove by a old church that detected before and noticed that the grass on the end of building that I haven't detected was not thick and high like it was the last time I was there. I decided to give it go.

My F75DST was my weapon of choice, because I was going to do some serious cherry picking. Man I had a field day at this second site. I got my search coil over 3 Rosie dimes, a large 925 silver ring, 30 clad quarters and a bunch of clad dimes. I left a lot of targets in the ground, so I'm going back with my Cibola to clean-up what's left. There maybe a gold ring or two!

This is my 23rd hunt for the year and I'm up to 76 silver coins, 4 gold rings, several pieces of silver jewelry and some other neat stuff.

An excellent day by any measurement!

But, as far as the gun goes? If I don't feel safe enough to hunt a place, without having a gun with me, that ground can keep whatever is there. (IMHO of course)

Be safe!

Damn Tab Man you found (in 2 months) what it takes me a year to dig. I hope there are coins left in the ground, so that when I retire I can score like you.

Awesome job. If your ever looking for a detecting buddy hit me up. I live in Bartlett and hunt a few places around town and always looking for new ground.

Now then, get your equipment---your quiver and bow---and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.

Thanks. How fast can you do the 40-yard dash carrying a metal detector and do you pack a gun?

Yes I pack. Too old to take a butt whoopin, too young to die, too out of shape to run
