Last two short hunts with new detector

black651 · Jul 16, 2010

I went out a couple times before work to try and get used to the new Bounty Hunter Pioneer 505 and hit some parks. I was very impressed at the depth that I could hunt now - as I was only sitting around 5" or less before for 99% of my finds. Both times I was only out for about 30 minutes or less and was lucky enough to find something that wasn't too trashy.

Scared up a Canada dollar coin and a pair of bent up KLM airline Junio Pilot's wings - and the yesterday I decided to try a park area I have hunted many times before and got a signal that said there was a penny at 8" down. Dug it up and found a 1919 wheatie! (My oldest coin found to date) A costume ring and an earring marked "Monet" followed by a pewter necklace tag. It was quite relaxing to not have to dig up so much trash and just concentrate on the good signals for a change. I could get used to this quite easily!

It's pretty early here and I plan on hitting a few spots this morning and then heading to work. Found out it's much nicer to hunt before the sun fries my brain! LOL

Thanks for looking and good luck on all your hunts!! :wink:

Yep - I agree. It was mostly just me laughing at myself because back a month or so ago I dug up a lucky piece and I thought it might be silver and got all excited over it. Turned out to be pewter and I was so embarrassed. Now whenever I dig some pewter it makes me laugh at myself from that memory. :laughing9:
