I went to a permission site this morning and decided to give my modded Tesoro Cibola a crack at finding some silver coins. I found the first one, a 1961 Rosie, on the hill side in front of the house.
The second one, a 1950 Rosie was only about an inch deep. I first I thought is was a clad dime and while I was studying it a girl come out of the house next door and distracted me. The distraction made me put the dime in the water filled pill bottle before I took a picture. So when I retrieved it I grab the wrong one. Any how, I did manage to get over to the girl before she went back inside and got permission to detect her front yard.
I was hoping to get another silver coin to make it 150, but the rain started and I had to head for the house with just 2 silver coins and 9 wheat pennies.
This was my 51st hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year now stands at 149. All done without getting skunked on a single hunt. I just need ONE more!
Cibola settings: Discrimination set just high enough to discriminate out a nail, very slight threshold hum, a little negative on the ground balance and full sensitivity.
