It ain't pretty...but its my silver...

Temps now in the 30 -40 degree area when I am hunting so long hunts are coming to an end soon, well maybe... :D Hit a nasty looking 59 Rosie today.... Been hitting the areas hard before the winter freeze....just not been posting....lots of clad...been skipping about 70% of penny signals but it has been paying off in higher clad amounts... Actually a lot easier not to post each hunt...Today over $7 in clad and this ugly 59 Rosie... :P

Glad to see you're still getting out Greg. Let us know if you get to 11,000. Nice job on the silver!!!

Ugly is only in the eye of the beholder. It looks pretty good to me. Way to go.

Every good detectorist changes his style once in awhile. When that metal detecting action happens, that good detectorist becomes a great detectorist. DFX-Gregg, you have been an elite member on this forum. ;)

Gregg, the DFX will go deep if you understand its "workings." Therefore, get to know what the machine is telling you and then the "better" finds will show themselves to the Greggster. ;)

DFX-Gregg, you do have a great machine. If you don't think so: "Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt." :D ;D

P.S. What do you mean by "better finds?" Do you mean coppas and more wilver? Less clad? More clad?

Re: It ain't pretty...but its my silver...

By better finds... I am starting to think about different goals for next year.... Less coins..especially pennies....more silver... the rings I would be happy to match ... By quality finds...I would like to consistently have a few hits each time I go out in the 7 to 8 inch range.... (hopefully producing silver coins) I want to triple my silver finds next year...clad amount would like it to be in same area....but less coins and more nickels/dimes/quarters...See my question posted today in general forum..hopefully will get some good answers... :) ;) If anyone has a deep program that works with the dfx...please sent me... Pag at 4 does not always seem to be the answer....today i could not use it..yesterday I could...yesterday was able to run ac sens at 76...today mainly only at 68...to avoid overloads...
