"Lesson Learned"
Hello everyone,
It's been a couple years, since I took a break from swinging. Everyday I found myself driving by areas thinking in my head "Man that would be a great place to hunt" (You know you do it too
) and when I could not stand it any longer I broke down and bought a DFX.
Well today was a great day as after work I decided to get a little more seat time behind the DFX. It did not start out to well as I found myself trying to crank it up too hot and unstable. Later in the hunt I was quite discouraged with all the mixed signals and I learned a very valuable lesson. I had the pre-amp too high as usual and dropped it to 2 along with the A.C. phase... Blah Blah Blah...(Sorry
) and swept an area I had been over once already and got a solid +18 at 2.5" and started to dig that nickel when out popped my first gold ring ever. I about had a heart attack 
. All in all a good day with (2) wheaties(1946) and $2+ in clad and the "heart attack" ring.
Lesson learned,
Scooter
