I'm doing the happy dance!
Hello ALL!
My pastor has wanted to Metal Detect since he was young he told me recently. Additionally he has asked for a metal detector for Christmas for a long time now... Being as I got a new 70... I suggested we go out as I have two complete set-ups (the other being the Bounty Hunter LandStar)...
So we meet at 9am... went down to a public area by the beach and only found a Wheety and a 1999 nickel... I suggested we go up to an older school and he said OK. His hard stop time was 1pm... With-in 5 minutes he had a quarter.. and was happy... He ended his 1st hunt with that quarter, a dime and a penny!
I was walking along side the asphalt that connected the school and the tot lot he was working... its was 10 till 1... I was hoping for one last good dig... I had dig a quarter, 2 nickels... 7 pennies and 1 wheety thus far... on the side of the asphalt I got a 44 showing 8-10 inches down... I've dug a few beer cans this way... what the heck I said... I dug and scanned... 8+ inches and nothing... Run the 70 over it and it looks like I missed the mark by 3/4"... I wan my 570 probe up that side and 5 1/2" down I felt vibration... flicked a small piece of dirt and I could read the words.... half dollar... I pulled it out.... happy dance... this is only my 2nd silver and first decent find with my 10 day old Minelab X-Terra 70!
